More About Food

The next evening the ladies of the house made a feast!  Wendy came prepared with new recipes she wanted to try in addition to having two non meat eating folks thrown into the mix.  Sarah, Wendy and I cooked for about two hours and had a fantastic time smelling and tasting our creations.

Obviously this is simply broccoli and green beans

and the colour is still lovely.

There is an enorment amount of food on this table.

It was hard to get the shot though and they wanted me to be in it

so I was unable to angle down to show you! 

In the background is sweet potato, white potato, onions and garlic 

all roasted to perfection.

In front is a rice dish with veggies and a cheese sauce; so good! 

Under Wendy's careful watch, I made this beet, apple, feta and spiced salad. 

Since the girls cooked, the boys cleaned. And yes, by sword fighting,

Sarah and I are being very helpful!

Our dessert was something akin to a marshmallow cake

covered in fruit.  As per usual, Simon ate his in three bites,

and I had leftovers!

After our great meal we sat around the table and played cards all night long.  There was laughing, story telling, and of course, Simon cheating.  (ha!)  Once again I will say that Wendy and Paul are marvelous people and having our home filled with such fun family energy was necessary and nurturing.
