Good Company

It's been awhile since my friend Arden has come by, so it was grand to see her yesterday.  In her honor, I did bake that second batch of crackers so she'd have a nibble to go with our afternoon drink.  As good as they are cold, the crackers are even better warm.  No, I did not dust.  There's such a thing as going too far and it would have seemed pretentious.

It might be inferred that I am food oriented, and I'd be hard-pressed to deny it.  However, having cooked for a large family and a lot of friends over the years, it's very difficult to cook some recipes for just one.  I'm really hungry for batter-dipped cauliflower with curry powder, tumeric, and cayenne, but it makes quite a lot and doesn't hold well for leftovers.  Therefore, I'm planning on inviting The Ladies Of Fair Play for dinner soon:  Arden, Cam, and Linda (who moved out of the area, but lived here long enough to qualify).  Luckily for me, they're up for trying new menus.  I'm waiting for inspiration for a main dish.

Had to laugh at Tote's comment yesterday.  It seems I'm in good company and she is a charter member of Procrastinators Unanimous, having just taken down her Christmas tree last week.  (My tree still stands.  I win!)

It was a good day.
