On Monday Hubby’s Buddy from the military came with his lovely wife to take us out for a wonderful luncheon meal!
We drove over to the Common Man Restaurant and had a wonderful meal. Jim and I had the Lobster Salad, and Geraldine had the Crab Cakes and Hubby had a weird Reuben Hamburger sandwich! We all had French Onion Soup as well! Yummy!
At the end of the meal Geraldine and I decided to have an ice cream puff. Now last week I watched Julia Child make these and they were the size of a half dollar coin. Small and sweet. They brought out our orders and they were just huge!!!
Can you believe how big this is? Hubby helped me a little to eat this, but in the end, there was still plenty on the plate. I do admit, though, it was very good. Still, I ask myself, why it had to be so big?
After we took a nice drive, stopped in a few places to shop and came back to the house. We walked around looking at the fruit trees and then we chatted and caught up on life.
Toward the end of the day we decided to take a picture of the four of us. Now we both played with our cameras in order to figure out how to take a timed picture. We worked and worked and finally I figured out how to do it! I was so proud!
Arnie was insisting that we include him.
We came home and enjoyed more time together before they said good bye and headed out. Hubby and I had a small meal later in the evening and then went to bed.
What a very nice day we had!
Sounds like a wonderful day with nice people to me.
What a way to start the week. Way to go!
Oh boy! I could use one of those desserts about now!!! Looks like a fine day!!! Love YOU, Mel
“why it had to be so big?” Because Americans feel shortchanged unless they get huge servings at restaurants…hence the problem of obesity in America! Although, now that I look at that quote, it’s making me laugh LOL! Glad you all had a good time 🙂
Glad to hear you had such a lovely time with friends.
And yes!, this ice cream puff is HUGE! OMG!
You all look very nice on these pictures ! What a nice day to spend with friends. This ice creme puff is for at least two people, that’s too much ! In Belgium you get mini portions, very often too small !
