Dinner for Four

It was my turn to host the writers group, this time for an early dinner. Adele brought pear cider. Gillean arrived with olives. Nicole came with a light tomato sauce and fried vegetables.

I supplied my own baked dinner rolls, potato salad asparagus, cheese, and baked spinach omelet. This may sound like a lot, but it really isn't. I made the potato salad the night before, using the potato water for the rolls. I made the bread dough that night and raised it in the refrigerator overnight. Just before they came I made the baked spinach omelet. With just a bit of planning, dinner need not take too long.

I find making dinner for friends in some ways more satisfying than for family. They have a greater appreciation for it. We shared not only our food but our writing and friendship.
