Kitchen capers

Bonnie Bing graciously invited some friends to dinner and poker Sunday night, but the real reason we gathered was to admire her new kitchen remodel. Bonnie and hubby Dick did a French-country redo on their kitchen, and it was spectacular.

Denise and Molly had just arrived in this pic, with the aproned Bonnie getting dinner ready and Dick just looking cute as can be.


Joe Stumpe (with Carrie nearby) helped Bonnie prepare a lavish dinner of carpaccio, fish with a sage cream sauce, grilled flat-iron steak, sauteed veggies, focaccio, peach cobbler and lots of wine. We had lots of fun around Bonnie's new kitchen island.
