Had some folks (and a dog!) over for dinner Saturday night. The goal was to make a meal that involved as little cooking as possible and used fresh summer ingredients. There was a vague Asian-influenced theme as well. Here's what I made; I highly recommend these recipes, expecially the soup!

Thai-spiced watermelon soup with crabmeat
Lobster ceviche with limestone lettuce
Corn, snap pea, tomato, radish & scallion salad with sesame soy dressing.
Grapefruit-Campari popsicles (which I think I need to keep in my freezer on a regular basis)

Served with St. Germain Cocktails and various and sundry wine. And, of course, I completely forgot to take pictures. Thanks to Beth, Will, Carrie, Brian, Jimmy and Tofu for the wine, conversation and fantastic company.
