Another DuMondezvous is taking place in beautiful Jackson, Wyoming. Mark and Sheri' DuMond flew in from Seattle on Friday, and Ace, Sallie and Keaton DuMond welcomed them with a feast of Greek flavors, including spanakopita, falafels, homemade pita bread, hummus, tzatziki, tahini and wonderful greek salad.
Sunday was Mothers Day, and the DuMond crew put together a brunch with a fab Eggs Florentine (complete with fresh crabmeat) and fried spuds. Sallie, Sheri' and Mark walked off some of those calories with a hike up to the South Park Cemetery. Dinner was, as usual, a group effort, and included seafood enchiladas with poblano-tomatillo sauce (check the June 2009 cover of Bon Appetit magazine for a visual reference), Sheri's famous black beans, smoky spanish rice, along with crema mexicana, guacamole and salsa. For dessert, Sheri' made a very nice blueberry shortcake on lemon thyme biscuits.
We opened a bottle of 2002 Hedges Cabernet Sauvignon which Sheri' and Mark had personally bottled and labeled in 2003, with the intention of having it on Sheri's 40th birthday. That day came and went, so we decided to save it for a special occasion, and what could be more special than a DuMondezvous.
This gathering continues to unfold, so we'll file updates as it progresses...
