Home for Memorial Day! part 2

Other than eating and flower arranging we had some fun relaxing by the pool 

My dad and I went to the farmers market on a hunt for raw peanuts, so we could boil them and & enjoy them by the pool. The peaches were so colorful, the amount of peaches was giving off the "peach" smell, but we couldn't justify buying a basket just yet.

I think we are on meal number 4....

This might be one of the most creative dishes my dad and I have made to date. My dad had bought some rose ...I think after having our pool day, we had tricked ourselves that we were back in St. Barths again. SO, rose was one main component we couldn't stray from. We knew knew we were going to have a crab salad on avocado. We should have stopped there but the creativity kept rolling....
One of my parents friends have given them some lettuce from her garden, along with a couple snap peas. The lettuce also became a component we wanted to use, so we decided to have a shrimp BLT salad.  Next thing we knew, we were discussing a salmon cucumber roll...

Here's how we did it:

Smoked salmon, goat cheese, sliced yellow bell peppers. Rolled that. Rolled the salmon in the cucumber, put a toothpick through it, topped with chopped chives, lemon zest, and a couple drops of lemon juice...it was awesome.

Crab salad on sliced avocado. Boiled shrimp sliced in half, on fresh lettuce & snap peas from a friends garden, tomato, crumbled prosciutto (BLT salad)

Also played a little gin rummy as well, I won't say who won

At some point this weekend, one of our meals was topped off with this rainbow
