Summery Balcony Dinner

It was a gorgeous Southern California evening last night, so I thought we'd enjoy the peaceful breeze and warm weather with a healthy meal on the balcony. Photos are on the dark side because it was a late dinner, and the only lighting I have out on the balcony are from 1) other buildings, 2) two tiny candles, and 3) the new digital billboard on Sepulveda.

Here's Tyson drinking his Carrot Ginger Soup appetizer out of a shot glass.

Here's me proudly displaying our main course: chicken breast, oven-roasted veggies, and red quinoa.

Here's Tyson bringing out our old school Chinese restaurant-style dessert: sliced navel oranges.


I heart summer.

PS. Fun notes for food geeks: white squash (which is really pale green) is a lovely summertime ingredient and red quinoa has twice as much fiber as regular quinoa (and more of a bite to it)
