Sunday Perfection

Sunday; a day of relaxation, sunshine (hopefully), and hangover management. This past Sunday was one for the books. A corner market cigarette run, brewing another batch of coffee at 1pm, a move to the park complete with blanket, portable speakers, and ice cold beer, some delicious cheese, and some of the best people I know (take that for a run-on sentence).
My ideal Sunday was exactly what was written above, with an addition of a great, big, enjoyable family style dinner. And, we had one:

Skirt steak marinated in honey mustard, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper.
Fingerling potatoes boiled whole, then fork mashed with some par boiled brussel sprouts. Browned in butter, a little garlic, green onions, salt & pepper. And some fresh parmesan to top.
Spinach salad with avocado, pear, goat cheese, and shallots with a balsamic vinaigrette.
And some fresh bread toasted golden brown with a subtle butter & olive oil topping.

The neighbors brought over an incredible Cabernet from the Wente vineyards.

This was truly a treat, and an incredible day.

The toast of that night: "Happy Sunday"
