...Sisters...and Birthdays...and Beach Food...

...my sweet sissie flew in for a few days visit...it was so nice having her and her hubbie with us for a while...that's the Man and BIL chillin' on the beach...Karen, Scout and I are playin' in the waves...

...and she came bearing cards...

...and gifts...I love my new beach coverup...very à propos...

...and her delicious vegan 'garbage' cookies...she's been making these special cookies since we were both newlyweds...and of course she's blogged about them before too...

...in honor of our houseguests the Man had spent the afternoon making 'fish' tacos...tofu was coated with wakame powder...and baked a bit...

...then grilled over the fire pit in the back yard...

...this rental was pretty well equipped...but it did not have a grill...so we improvised one with a grill tray propped on bricks over the fire pit...it worked just fine...

...and there were lots of fixin's...purple coleslaw with vegan 'mayo'...

...avocado, chopped tomatoes...fresh cilantro...and red onions marinated in red wine vinegar...

...and we freshened up a jar of boughten (ND word) salsa with some fresh chopped cilantro...

...and assembled our tacos...it was another delicious birthday celebration...

~Have a lovely day!
