Last weekend - so filled with friends and weddings and gorgeous summer weather and outdoor dining - was one of those times.
Outdoor dining? Now, I'm not saying that this was the best part, but we savored every meal from Thursday to Sunday - outside. We Johnstons don't excel in the kitchen, so mixing out-of-town company with the perfect summer weather yielded Thursday night dinner at Petit Pois, Friday lunch at Basil, Friday dinner under a tent in Orange, Saturday lunch at Eppie's, Saturday dinner outside the UVA observatory, and Sunday brunch at The Nook.
I don't want to be accused of placing the emphasis on the wrong thing here, but really. Does it get any better than this? Perhaps we need to modify the Johnston Visitor Plan to focus more on plein air dining, because Charlottesville is really, really good at it. Much love to Margaret, our friend and weekend dining companion, for joining in the fun.
Yours in enjoying a delightful and delicious weekend,
Mary
