We had dinner on Friday with Eri, Mike and Bennett. The original plan was to make a nice supper with an Italian cheese flatbread and a Greek shrimp cassorole with feta and some attitude. But then the phone rang and we had a better deal offered - pizza at Station!Ben is getting bigger and has more and more tricks. He has learned that, when in a restaurant, there is some chance of scoring ice cream for dessert. The picture shows the reaction to ordering strawberry ice cream.
Good fun and good food as always. And the other dinner was merely postponed to Saturday. Delicious!
The kitchen window garden is going like gangbusters. We have the first orchid opening (with another three flowers following close behind). So here's the picture of the orchid.The other flowers are the amaryllis (just starting to open, watch for updates) and some hydrangea (actually, hyacinth - see Mom's note) bulbs a neighbour gave us. They (hyacinths) are now in full bloom and making the house smell like a cheap bordello. Actually, I have led a very sheltered life and don't know how a cheap bordello smalls, but I imagine it smells a lot like a bunch of blooming hyacinths.

The stinky flowers aren't hydrangeas, they're hyacinths - deep purple.

I can't believe Mom corrected you on the blog. That's hilarious!
I really like that photo. Lots of depth. I bet it would make a good ViewMaster slide.
