Saturday night, my friends Jill, Gab and I cooked up a feast. Here's what we made ourselves--
Grilled fresh corn with chili-lime butter
Chopped heirloom tomato salad with scallion and fresh mint
Barbequed soft shell crabs
Grilled bockwurst
We drank a nice South American red wine called Malbeck (?) and finished off the meal with chilled red flame grapes, home-made brownies, and Dreyer's mint chocolate chip ice cream

Malbec is a grape varietal grown in France and used in Bordeaux blends. It is also grown in Argentina, where some spectacular red wines have recently been created.
