We spent the long weekend cooking several dishes that included:
- Lobster egg Benedict;
- Summer pea and spinach soup;
- Muscovy duck salad;
- Apple pie;
- Cherry pie;
- Black bean and guacamole dip;
- Homemade pizzas; and,
- Red pacific snapper with a fabulous salsa.
My parents were also in town from London and we had a hoot trying to organize a single family photo! Happy Anniversary kids!

As always your food always looks good.
Excellent menu photos and family too. I go to the food first as usual. I am too lazy to make such dishes.
nice job on the duck.
I like the way you cook the duck breast, much better than the typical Chinese roast duck! I somehow noticed that you resemble your dad more than your mommy! ^0^
The family photo turned out wonderfully, as did the food. I’ve been making potato pizza a lot lately. Very tasty alternative to the tomato based norm.
