Endless summer and endless plans

What a wonderful start to summer.  We have broken heat records all month and now it is June.

One thing about this family, they plan ahead big time.  So far there are two weddings next year, one a year and a half away and it is a destination wedding, so we will be going to Italy.

This week end we have Brooks and his girl coming today for a few days and an event Saturday. Summers are busy for everyone and this one is no different.

I have cooked ahead because Brooks always comes hungry.  When they arrive there will be a frittata, salad, and brownies. I have chicken pot pies with puff pastry spears for sometime during the day with two different salads.  Then Sunday we have some company coming and we will grill steaks. I also have a batch of so-called 'crack' ready for the company.  (That is my form of granola from Barefoot Contessa's recipe with a twist from me.)  After trying a recipe, I can rarely leave it as is.  I start fooling with it and sometimes it gets even better.) The family named it because once tried they can't leave it alone.

 Madeleine is coming Sunday and we have a new kiddie pool with a sprinkler attached for her to enjoy.  The big pool is a bit much for her at this stage. However, the water in the big pool is just right at the moment.  I think the cottonwood and oak spores are done for the season and they were bad this year!

I hope your summer is going well.
