Here I am after a long summer bursting with trips and frivolity.  Best of all, beside the distinct pleasure of being home and trying to create some semblance of order in my chaotically overgrown garden and, heck, well, life, Felix is home for a brief visit before heading back to college.

Our trip to Greece was, well, dreamy, and future postings will delve into everything Jeff and I saw, learned and ate.  This time however, I thought I'd go for a gentle reentry into Clare's Kitchen with what turned out to be a lovely, gentle reentry into cooking dinner again.
