And yesterday Jackie came over to visit before an afternoon interpreting gig. While Mike was making lunch Jackie and I hit the Burke Gilman Trail to whet our appetites. It wasn’t as hot as it has been recently and the walk was perfect for gabbing and catching up with each other.
Mike’s menu included Mandarin Chicken Salad and freshly baked corn muffins. When we got back, Mike was in full swing, with the chicken chunks still in the oven, almost ready for the salads. Soon enough the chicken was ready.
Mike hard at work.
Finally it was time to eat!
Silly Jackie.
And for dessert – fresh, sweet pineapple and vanilla ice cream.
Jackie and husband Kurt recently spent time in Portugal and found a lovely, white, effervescent wine, Vinho Verde from Casal Garcia. She brought us a bottle and we put it in the refrigerator to enjoy at a later date. I’ll have to post about it when I get to taste it.
Ahhh, before we knew it, Jackie had to leave for her interpreting job. Mike and I had such a nice time with her, looking at pictures from Portugal and another trip to Bali. What a lovely afternoon. Thank you, Jackie!

Oh boy, that chicken looks great, Mike. You must be a great cook. Glad you had a great time with your friend Cynthia. That bottle of wine looks like it is going to taste pretty good. Have a great week.
