Dinner WIth Friends....

The glow from the candles definitely made a statement...Such a difference from the daylight shots...D lit the candles for me, while I took a few snaps..I really like the way the room glowed...








Enter the Dessert.....I made a sort of "compote" from Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, and 2 Fresh Peeled Plums...added a bit of water, cinnamon,sugar and maple syrup....let it simmer for a few hours stirring occasionally...It also made the house smell delicious..:o)....I served it over a Maple Walnut frozen yougurt....so refreshing...and surprisingly light!!!


All in all...I think everything went splendidly...

We played around with my new camera...

Found some unusual settings....

And my friend D brought me a lovely potted Hyacinth Bulb in a lovely
glass bulb jar....



Thanks D....I love it!!!

Will keep you all posted on its progress!!

Hope you are all having a great day...
   
  Back to Fitness this morning....it felt pretty good...

      Going to make some chicken soup and a coffee cake..

On the menu this evening...

      Baked Sole fillets....fried rice...bok choy and brussells... 


                Enjoy the rest of your day...



                        Cheers!  :o)
