At Our Dining Table


We haven't seen K for ages. He's been out of the country so much. The stars aligned, and we fixed a dinner with K and A at home. We haven't had friends over for dinner for a bit. The crazy schedule meant that we have had no time to cook a decent meal for people. This time, the man was able to sort out dinner and he was sooooo excited about having K and A over.

The man decided to whip up an easy menu of vegetarian pasta, a side of mushrooms and for people who want meat, grass-fed beef. Gluten-free spaghetti tossed in brown-butter and miso and black garlic sauce, accompanied by a side of grilled zucchini drizzled with anchovies and chilli. We also grilled skewers of tandoori mushrooms with bell peppers. And seared a friendly flank steak.

Lots of gin and wine, and easy conversation flowed. We have all grown up, haven't we? The years melted away, and the bonds of friendship are renewed. We couldn't believe that it was time for the guests to head home. When you're having fun, five hours simply flew by. Let's not wait another ten years do this again.
