Yummy food and beginning to wonder if...

Last night our friend Melanie came round for dinner. For once I didn't totally exhaust myself tidying up. This was because a) since doing so much decluttering we are starting from a better base and b) I decided to be sensible, delegated a lot of it and lay down and had a rest after lunch before cleaning the bathroom and preparing the table.

P and J between them produced Chicken with Apricots - a Madhur Jaffrey recipe:

 - and a chocolate and cherry dessert which was a River Cafe recipe. Both totally delicious and we had a lovely evening together. Such a shame she is soon going back to America but she is coming back for a visit next year and has already booked another meal with us. 
  I've always wanted to go to America and a hint of plan is beginning to form...
