meal fit for a queen
Last saturday, i and five other guests, enjoyed a multi-course meal fit for a king & queen. it’s become an annual thing, and my taste buds & i look forward to it with great anticipation. she sets the table and he cooks…just because. because they love us and boy do i appreciate the way they love us! we gather in the kitchen to munch on olives, nuts and sip champagne, while we watch the show…pots and pans everywhere! and the smells…oh the fragrant smells wafting around…teasing the olfactory system. then, ushered into the beautiful dining area, we are served, slowly, course by delicious course, while we sip wine and enjoy great conversation. each course is described as it is being brought out…it’s truly titillating. as we wait for the next course, we listen to stories of how much fun they had at this true labor of love. how they had to hold the ice-cream maker together when it broke while in the process of making the ice-cream…and how it ended up in the trash toot-sweet after all the luscious mixture was removed. how they matched the wine with each course, and how they decided on which greens to use for the salad. i only apologize that i neglected to take pictures of the salad and main course of lamb & risotto. i was distracted you see…the description of the food…i just wasn’t thinking about my camera.
i have to admit, just remembering the feast from a few days ago has got my mouth watering all over again. next february seems like a lifetime away…sheeesh…whatever shall i eat till then?
Now that’s what I call love. I’m beginning to embrace the fact that food is my love language :0)
What great servants that host and hostess are…
