Candle light supper

After days of rain, the day I held my 'candle light supper', was the first dry one of the week. Even when dark clouds gathered over the garden in the afternoon, I kept faith. Somehow I knew it was going to be ok. If not, we could just grab our plates and find a seat inside the garden house. It's not big, but when squeezing in a little, there is room for five. It would be a bit cosy though :-)!

It wasn't a normal supper I had in my garden that evening, but a business meeting. While I laid the table, did the cooking and washing up, my colleagues did most of the talking. It turned out to be a relaxed and fruitful evening. We even saw glimpses of sunlight shining through the clouds.

I made my first pumpkin soup of the season as a starter, had ratatouille with rice and a salade with caramilized unions and bacon as a main course and meringues with fresh fruit and cream as a desert. Although simple, I believe it was to everyone's liking.

Well that's it for now. I am off to the city centre to find some birthday present for friends. Wish you all a cheerful and sunny Wednesday!

Lieve groet, Madelief x
