After spending the day on an escort with my husband, we dined by candlelight on our deck and kept our picnic streak going!  A few fireflies were out, the temperature was just right and our Sunday was spent side-by-side.  The menu featured Chili Lime Steak and Red Potato-Tomato and Fresh Pea Salad with crusty bread.
