Dinner with Friends

I have known my husband for 18 years now. (Yes, that dates me!) When I met him, he had a large group of friends that he hung out with. Over the years, that large group has dwindled down to about 2 friends (and their spouses) that we see frequently. I feel very fortunate that we have remained friends through all of life’s changes. Most wonderful are the weekends that we spend out of town with these friends. It is a time to get away from every day life, and let our hair down and just be. We don’t have to pretend for these people, they know our ups and downs already. There is so much freedom in that! Most recently, we spent a weekend in California with 2 of our dear friends. I have to say that we didn’t do much! We spent the entire weekend just chillin’, enjoying the weather, laughing, reading, walking, and best of all….eating! Bob made some incredible dinners! These are photos of just one of those remarkable dining experiences! Filet of beef with a gorgonzola sauce, roasted tomatoes and garlic mashed potatoes. Of course wine accompanied every course. We are so spoiled when we are there. Bob starts us off with an appetizer every night, then main course, and if we make it, dessert! I love the way the years have changed each of us, the way we interact, our marriages, and the way we dine! Bon Appetit Bob Dunn!
