Graduation Party & Peas and New Potatoes

What's cooking in Carolina this week? Well, I would say not much, because I was out of town from Monday through Thursday. I had a small party to cater on Saturday, so I arrived back in town, went shopping, then cooked for a day and a half.

The party was a graduation party. The food was an ecletic mix of interesting flavors, something for everyone; mostly finger foods.

The Menu

Spicy Shrimp on skewers

This is not to say this is all we ate this week. We got our first picking of potatoes, peas and cucumbers from the garden this week and because it has been so cool, we are still getting lettuce. Now I can promise you that there is nothing like eating fresh from the garden! For some reason, the first picking always tastes the best too!
