We all had a lovely evening planning, cooking and eating our meal. We listening to music, talked about our week and our thoughts. We also talking about things we wanted to plant, future meals and friends to invite. Not sure what we are going to eat next week, but I am sure it will be just as much fun to harvest and make.
