ELEGANT ENTERTAINING WITH

BOLD U s FLAVORS- &OCAS.

JI knacha 2009

ummer entertaining is easy with simple, crowd-pleasing recipes from light bites to ter sweet delights that require almost no time in the kitchen. Invite over a few of your closest friends, heat up the grill and set out your favorite wines for a truly memorable outdoor dinner party. Select simple recipes that can be prepared ahead of time and quickly seared on the grill once your guests have arrived. Everyone will enjoy the food and you’ll love that you’re not trapped in the kitchen. Prep, chop and marinate every­ thing then store it all in containers. Continue the trend of simplicity by serving food-friendly wines, such as those from Las Rocas. Las Rocas, which literally means “the >-1 rocks” because of the rocky soil where the grapes are grown, produces an incredibly vi­ brant Garnacha and refreshing Rose that pair wonderfully with these dishes. Make the occasion truly special by beginning the festivities at sundown to take advantage of the cool breezes and beautiful sunset. Line the tables with a row of small candles, hang spar­ ling white lights from the trees and put on lr favorite music. Your guests may never . want to leave.

Q: I just entered into a purchase agreement to sell my property, and the buyer didn't describe what type of deed has to be given. No attorneys were involved. What kind of deed do you think I have to give to satisfy the transaction? A: A recent unpublished decision of the - y%Av, Michigan Court of Ap­ peals held that a Quit Claim Deed was an appropriate deed where the buyer exercised a purchase option under a lease and the lease was silent as to the type of deed to be given.
