Eating in or dining out?
Filed under: Uncategorized
We had some friends visiting from the UK on Friday with their two little ones, aged 1 and 3 and we had everyone over to ours for supper.
I can’t do formal, it just isn’t me, so I cooked two roast chickens, some potato wedges marinated in sweet chilli sauce and made a salad, bought some crusty bread and voila……virtually no prep, easy meal that suited the children too and for dessert it was ice-cream and the gorgeous large apple cake from El Campo ( found in the fridge section by the fresh breads.)
Eating out seemed like the easy option but the children played together in the community garden, the adults relaxed over a glass of wine and as the sun went down and we headed indoors I was really pleased that we had opted to eat in rather than dine out.
It wasn’t just about the cost, it was about letting time stop for a few hours, something we don’t do enough.
