  2. Oh my, what a feast, Kathleen! Everything looks fantastic. I love fajitas but don't make them nearly enough.

    What a wonderful, festive table! At least there's some sunshine in your mosaic ;)

  3. Kathleen, we can always count on a wonderful meal from you! Would love everything you served, and your patriotic tablescape. I spy the filled strawberries...so "sweet" of you to make those.

    I enjoyed the scenes in your mosiac, you live in such a beautiful part of the world.

    Thanks so much for joining in!

    P.S. Love the chalkboard :-)

  4. That's one super duper meal, Kathleen! I love it all! You could use a puppy at the table looking longingly at those sirloin fajita's!

    Beautiful table as always, love the red, white and BLUES!

    More rain for this week, too, that couple hours of sun was nice while it lasted!

  6. You did a lot between drops! Your food looks delicious Kathleen and your Flag day table is great! Sorry y'all are getting so much rain..we are dry so I suppose we sent it all your way. I had thought of doing fajitas on the grill and still have it on the menu for soon. Great post..you killed several birds with on stone! Most efficient!

  9. Hi Kathleen,
    Oh....grilled pineapple! I love it. I just realized that each comment I make to you pertains to fruit. Your pictures always make me crave it.

    Regarding the mirror....I am thinking about hanging it in a powder room over the sink.

    Thanks for your beautiful posts on food!

  16. WOW, Kathleeen! When you do something you do it all out! Not only one grilled item but a whole buffet of items. Everything looks so good as always - Mike is such a lucky man with your wonderful cooking. The tablesetting stole my heart - it is gorgeous! I especially love those placemats - where did you get them? The scenes of the beautiful area of the country you live in are wonderful - a great subject for a mosaic. I can believe how many "events' you squeezed into this post ;) Great job my friend!

  17. I was thinking a couple of days ago that I should grill steak to make Dennis fajitas. Your food looks so great that I am going to have to do just that. You sure did cook a lot of things.....you must of been busy preparing all day.
    I love your blue star dish that I see peeking out from under a red one....I let my daughter use all my red white and blue things, guess I am going to have to get them back soon.
