I had a spontaneous sleepover at my aunt's before going to a theme park with a friend and her two boys, 8 and 11 years old today.
My aunt made us an absolutely gorgeous meal, despite only knowing I'd be over a couple of hours before, and despite being almost blind!
I hadn't seen her since before covid, we had an absolutely lovely time!
When I arrived after a hellish ride I first had a beer and a jenever (which shares both cultural and etymological roots with gin, although it's a different drink), with high quality cashews.
For starters we had smoked salmon with seaweed and a rettich mayonnaise.
Mains was leg of lamb in a creamy sauce, a good salad, runner beans and fresh peas she peeled that afternoon. I'd never had fresh peas before, they're amazing!
Dessert was 3 different specialty cheeses, again, not stuff you find in the supermarket.
A bottle of rosé somehow disappeared as well.
So a full meal, no insulin needed (exceptforthebeer), and that without even discussing the meal beforehand, my aunt is amazing!
I made pictures of the food as well but my computer is broken, so don't expect too much input on the forum from me until I've had it fixed, using my phone is a pain.
So you all behave now we're down a moderator or I'll get back at you when the computer is working again!
