Evening in Thornhill

This summer, we had the pleasure of being invited to my colleague Susie's home for an after work team party. Not many of our team made it, but the ones who did were completely in for a gourmet fair. You see, usually at these summer team meetings we have hot dogs and hamburgers.... but no, not this year. Susie, our kind hostess, is not a hot dog and hamburger person, so when she was asked to come up with a menu for the staff BBQ, this is what she came up with... a fantastic array of healthy, wholesome salads and kebabs and the best salmon I have ever tasted!

 Orzo vegetable salad.

 Claire's Quinoa salad (recipe to come).

 Chicken and veggie kebabs.

 Grilled Salmon. The best I have even had.

... and don't forget the grilled zucchini.

 ...prepared with a spray of lemon...

 ...yes, check out this cool kitchen tool. It's a twisty spray top you screw into any citrus and it sprays the juice on the lemon. Susie, you have the coolest tools!

 So here are a few of the colleagues who came out to enjoy this gourmet affair! Here are a few candid shots...

 Judy and Cookie Monster!

 Bogdan.

 Sarah, incognito with those glasses.

 Joyce and her cold beverage?

Claire and Iain, wonder who's fighting for that glass of wine?

 Lily and Lily wearing matching magenta sportswear... my favourite colour!

...one Lily laughing out loud...

 ...one Lily is laughing inside!

...colourful bunch of colleagues!

Here's our lovely hostess Susie and her grill master husband Mark. Thanks again for an awesomely delicious evening!

I know your wondering, what did Chantal eat... well it was stacked with delicious, wholesome goodness! Check it out! Wonder if we can get Susie to bring in her salmon at the next office pot luck???
