A GUEST FOR DINNER

I connected on Facebook with a co worker I worked with a number of years ago. It has probably been about ten years ago when I last saw her. She happened to be in town for two days, today and tomorrow, so I had her over for dinner. It was fun to prepare a dish I had not tried before and thank goodness everything turned out great. I know some people might say that it was pretty gutsy of me to try a new recipe out on someone whom you haven't seen in a while, I think it was rather fun. And besides it was too simple to mess up. Chicken routlade. Chicken breats rolled up and stuffed with goat cheese, asparagus and prociutto. A side of penne pasta with a fresh, made from scratch, marinara sauce and a tossed salad. Dessert was blueberry sauce over homemade pound cake with whipped cream.

Back when I worked with her, she was single and living here with no family or friends. My husband had her over quite often for dinner and we always ended the evening with a game of Scrabble. We did the same tonight and it was like nothing ever changed. We picked up conversation almost like with had just left off the other . It was a great evening.

I had an e mail from one of my brother's closest friends and co worker. He is going to try to organize an activity like a golf tournament in honor of my brother for his birthday on April 16th of next year. I can't wait to hear what it will be. I know my brother would be so honored if this happened.

Ahhhh!! It feels good to be blogging again.
