dinner on the beach






I love the juxtaposition of a formal dinner on the beach. We grilled marinated lamb chops, sweet Italian sausage and wild gulf shrimp. Our friends brought ba-ba-ga-noush and taboulleh and we shared a few good bottles of French wine. Our intent was to sit on the beach close to the water's edge, but the premature autumn wind started to cover the place settings with sand before we were unpacked. Luckily we found a small protected clearing at the end of the forest overlooking the water and enjoyed a great dinner followed by fresh apple pie warmed on the grill as the sunset dazzled us more.
