Friendship

Having true friends is something special. There are many quotes/sayings out there, this is just one of them:

“A friend is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.”

Frank Crane

We had our closest friends for dinner on the weekend, as it was my girlfriend Maddy's birthday. The sign was up, and the candles were lit.....


 We had smoked salmon and caper dressing, and I made steamed dumplings for starters...

 For main it was roast duck with an asian cherry sauce, chinese green vegetable, and rice...
Then for dessert we had steamed orange puddings, with orange and cardamon icecream, balsamic strawberries, chocolate macaroons (turned out perfect - these below are after they had picked them up and squished them!!!) and sambucca jellies (her request). Can you tell my focus is on the dessert!!!

There was lots of laughter, and a great night until the wee small hours. Another wonderful memory with our friends.. What memories do you have of times with your friends?
Hope you all have a lovely week.
