I made mini cheese cakes, we had lunch, then Poppop stopped by and we gave him a cheese cake for his birthday (tomorrow). He left, and later Jor came over and we all cooked a fabulous feast together. Julie and Jor did most of the work, while I photographed and then made instructables after everyone left. Jor made this amazing pesto rustico and Julie did a delicious blackened salmon which was topped with Jor's pesto. This pesto is not processed, so the pine nuts are whole and the basil is just rough chopped... and it is so good I am definitely going to make it regularly.
It was a really nice day, and very nice having all this family close enough to hang out with now.
Dominic said Jor as Jor was leaving. He's such a smarty-pants.
