What's for Dinner?

Dinner was great. My brother manned the BBQ, grilling up a tri-tip and some huge shrimp (apparently Costco's got great shrimp right now) on skewers. I steamed up a couple artichokes and served with lemon-garlic mayo (really wanted curry, but my dad & his wife don't like curry, so none in the house). Stepmom took the home-grown tomatoes and cucumber I brought up (courtesy of Alex's dad), sliced them up, poured some olive oil over the top with dill, salt & pepper. Had some french olives (pichoulines, and I forget what the small black ones were). And corn on the cob.
I'd made a fruit salad (similar to last time only blueberries, no mint). My brother had brought some homemade biscuits with him, so we ended up serving the biscuits shortcake style with the fruit salad and vanilla ice cream.

Oh, he also made his own Sangria. It was delightful.
