Summer in Chicago

It's finally here...summer in Chicago.  It's finally here when the weather cooperates.  When the sun shines, one of our summer rituals is outdoor patio dining.  The best way to do this is at a friend's house with a rooftop deck. Better yet, a friend with a rooftop deck and culinary skills. My friend T is from Brazil and has a passion for food; eating it and photographing it. Photographing food is her bread and butter.  This is a Saturday afternoon at T & K's after a trip to the Chicago Farmer's Markets around the city and Whole Foods for those foods not quite farmer ready. The bread and the organic goat cheese are from Chicago's Green City Market. The prosciutto, a mixture of olives and yellow and red baby tomatoes are from Whole Foods.
