<p>Ok, so I know this is supposed to be a photography blog and not a food blog, but I&#8217;ve been enjoying spending time at home during this little break so much that I couldn&#8217;t resist letting a little of my personal life seep onto my work blog.</p>
<p>This is possibly my favorite summer dinner, second only to tapenade on garden cucumber slices and gazpacho.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://cuisinenie.blogspot.com/2007/06/fish-tacos.html">fish tacos</a> are Nie&#8217;s, and the <a href="http://www.jetsetcarina.com/2010/07/untipsy-tuesday-brazilian-lemonade.html">lemonade</a> is Azucar&#8217;s.</p>
