土曜日はお迎えさんのマイク&ジュリー、子供達のアーデンとペリーが家に来てくれてご飯でした。メニューは、ポークのジンジャーロースト、アボカド・トマト・ひよこまめ・オリーブ・りんごのサラダ、ジャガイモとパルメジャンチーズの薄焼き、レタスサラダ、白アスパラガスのレモンバター、ターメリックライス、デザートは洋ナシのことこと煮・キャラメルソース添えでした。普段のご飯を多めに作るつもりが次から次へと作ってしまった。飲んで、食べて、しゃべって笑って、なんだかすっきり。
大人達はげらげら笑って大騒ぎな晩餐でしたが、もの静かなアーデンと世界一静かな海璃もおしゃべり（といっても、アーデン９歳、海璃３歳ですが。）して楽しかったのだと、後日聞きました。不思議。
We finally had a dinner with our new neighbor, Mike, Julie, Arden and Perry. We had such a blessed moment. We had so much fun, and I don't know why we couldn't have them sooner. I guess our house was a gorgeous construction site for a long time. (It still is...) I was just going to make a little bigger dinner, but somehow, I kept cooking, and cooking...The menu was:
- Roast ginger pork
- Avocado, tomato, chickpeas, olive and apple salad
- Thin potato slice roast with Parmesan cheese and thyme
- White asparagus with lemon butter
- Iceberg lettuce salad
- Turmeric rice
- Poached pears with caramel sauce as desert
Cooking, eating and laughing with friends with a little wine is my mental health necessity item. I don't know why, but it just reminded me of my college life tonight.

Thank you all so much! We had such a wonderful time and I laughed so much my face hurt! All of the food was incredible, too. We can't wait to have you over for pizza soon!
no way. That food is amazing and served so beautifully. I am jealous. I had the neighbors over recently and I burned the soup! Looks like fun - but no one can replace us. JK
