Friends in need

Thursday and Friday were written off as I went down with the D&V that the rest of the family have suffered from.

Friday evening the Philips cooked for us - a very nice bake with a yellow pumpkin, Swiss chard, peppers, onions, pasta and cheese sauce.  On Saturday we cooked two courgettes, garlic, pine nuts, fried in butter, with spaghetti and pesto.  Everyone ate loads.  On Sunday we went to see Liz, Jim, Max, Grace and Wilf in their new house.  They cooked a very nice bake of aubergines, cheese and tomato sauce with cumin and coriander.  Very north African.  This was with some greens and roast potatoes.

It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed.  Our friends have been great.
