Kool Kats and a K9

The Kleins and their K9 hosted K Night in Kween Anne, and it was perfect. We lingered on the back deck sipping Kir Royales -- thanks to the ever klassy Kuhrt and Jenny -- and enjoyed that rare sort of June evening when summer seems just around the korner and you haven't got a kare in the world.

Actually, Abby and I have a lot of karefree days, and we both chose to dedicate this one to the kreation of K Night koncoctions. (Unemployment has its benefits. Unfortunately, health care isn't one of them.) Abby's kurried kumquat chutney was beautiful, even jewel-like on it's own, but it was absolutely killer in kombination with ham and homemade biscuits.

Why even bother with dinner when you've got a beautiful evening, gourmet finger foods and champagne kocktails?

Because you have kugel in the oven and a kajillion kebabs cooking on the grill.

We had kefta (lamb meatball) kebabs, kielbasa kebabs, korean BBQ kebabs (tenderized with kiwi and served with kimchee), and krustacean kebabs. Did I mention I'm unemployed? And obsessed with Epicurious.com?

We also konversed with Kuhrt's wonderful friend, Jason; kompared red wines for Dan and Abby's impending wedding; and konsumed the most delicious, most perfectly sweet-tart key lime pie handmade by Holly and Lo. It really kouldn't have been any nicer.
