yum!

This evening provided a bit of respite from life's craziness :-) Shanti cooked a lovely meal for Ellen and myself, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - Ellen and I had both forgotten Shanti's deep passion for spiciness, so we were slightly surprised at the zestiness of the delicious homemade mushroom and tomato sauce on the pasta... ;-) However, Shanti's cooking never ceases to delight, and it was nice to sit down together to a meal. Our pasta was accompanied by some warmed Italian bread, salad, and carrots. For dessert, there was a heavenly freshly made strawberry cream (made with fresh strawberries, cream, and sugar? I'm not really sure... but it was sooooooooooo yummy!).

The company was excellent, the food was great, and the laughs were plentiful!

The below image shows the end results - three very happy people :-)

hunger satiated...
