Some plans need to be adjusted due to the fact life takes over and adjustments are required. So Don and I decided to do the ‘gourmet’ thing for us. We have, many, many times, simply planned our menu, laid the table in a special way and celebrated the day and meal for just us.
The morning began with a spectacular sun rise at about 6:15 a.m. then off to Church we went. When we returned home, we put this plan into action.
We decided the other day to plan our meal and the one stipulation was: it all had to come from my recipes that are on site. Done!

**okay, I didn’t make the Arancini but it was really delicious.
Being alone or just two people does not have to be a dull “oh woe is me’ kind of dinner. Try it and you will feel so good about yourself, the meal you prepared and, in general, life around you.
This was so much fun. All ingredients are locally sourced and OH MY…so delicious.
