It was a wonderful evening, and I knew it would be. Jan and Larry invited the four of us for dinner at their lovely home in Liverpool. Now Jan and Larry, unlike me, fuss over their guests. Larry is the cook. He even removed the kernels from the fresh corn so we could not fight the cobs of corn at the dining table. The whole evening was a delight, with tasty food, served elegantly. We loved it.
There is something about being treated in a special way that warms your heart. Jan and Larry had obviously gone to a great deal of effort in order to serve us the dinner. They selected the menu: endive ends filled with cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers and onion for appetizers. The Greek salad was the next course; French creamy feta cheese brought from Ottawa, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and onions. Main course was fish, parsley potatoes, fresh corn, and green beans. Dessert was ice cream with fresh berries served in a crispy edible basket.
We ate leisurely and talked...and talked...and talked. Normal curfew for Mal is 10:00, but we were still sitting at the dining and talking at 11:00. It was a wonderful evening with our good friends Jan and Larry, just as I knew it would be. Now I should begin to fuss myself.
