Mary and Walt are gluttons for punishment. This evening they invited all 6 of us to their home for dinner. As usual, our dinner was delicious: Haddock with shrimp sauce, rice and broccoli. And my favorite, carrot cake for dessert. What was special about our dinner tonight was that for the first time, we dined in the new dining room. Over the winter, they removed the wall separating the dining room from the TV room. They moved the dining table right beside the kitchen so now the whole area is open from the kitchen to the dining room to the TV room. It is bright and airy and beautiful. And Mary is not isolated in the kitchen when she cooks.
This was the first time we have dined in their home this year, which is unusual. Mary brought meals to us when we first arrived. Then we had the three weeks of catering. And until recently, I was better off staying at home for meals so Mary was careful not to invite us. But she could tell that with just the six of us, Ken and I could manage dinner at their home. So we went early and came home by 8 and all was well.
Mary is a wonderful cook and much to my surprise, she likes to cook. It is always a pleasure having dinner at their lovely home. Tonight is no exception.
