Cape Cod comes to Denver

So the weather on Monday was decidedly "un-summery"... drizzley and cold and windy - it forced us to rethink our day at the pool and BBQ. So our smarty-pants hostess for the evening decided to embrace the Eastern shore-like weather and host a clam bake instead... She used a Barefoot Contessa recipe as her inspiration - although we used only one kind of clams, and some really good shrimp as our seafood selections, and she added in some califlower florets to the mix as well...
This amazing mix of food, hot and bubbling from the grill we used to cook it, along with some steak, grilled corn, a yummy green salad, and plenty of yummy drinks warmed up the group as we all hunkered down in chunky sweaters under the awning of their highrise to eat... good friends, good food, good wine.... great holiday...

Who knew Cape Cod and Colorado were so close together?
