I’m taking a break this week from blogging as a result of slacking off and indirect schedule adjustments from Hurricane Irene (none of which I’m complaining about). In lieu of any new recipes, I thought I’d share some photos sent to me by my good friends Michael and Tommy in the Mission District of San Francisco. They treated their friends to a Southern Sunday Supper this weekend with recipes from Mod Meals on Mendenhall! While I hated not being their to enjoy the cooking and eating, I was happy to hear how much of a success it was – and how delicious the leftovers were.

Lots of cooking is in the works for Labor Day weekend. I look forward to reporting next week! Until then, enjoy your long weekend, the hint of fall weather in the air and any kitchen time you have over the holiday!
