Swimming in Gravy,

When the call came yesterday re: the chinese takeaway, I was half way through braised steak and onions, so tonight a real easy dinner, added some carrots and peas, dried of course, to the steak and gravy and did some mashed potatoes, flavour was great, pics leave a bit to be desired though, we weren't exactly hungry for dinner and this is part of the reason why
Our fav restaurateurs recently sold their restaurant, he has the same heart valve problem that my Darling HAD, surgery is in a couple of weeks, so we were invited around for arvo tea, O.M.G., heaven on a stick doesn't come close, we had this divine lemon tart, home cooked biscuits, baklava, jellies for the kids, theirs, not ours and halved home grown passion fruit, what bliss, and we got to take some lemon tart home for after our humble little dinner. Oh B.T.W she is the dessert chef, they are a wonderful young family, the kiddies have lovely manners, the little daughter, folded, with great care and attention to detail, the napkins for our arvo tea, a real little princess, their son was playing "guitar hero on wee" opps could that be WII? whatever, he came upstairs stood a few mins and then turned to leave, what are you doing asks Dad, "oh just came up to check how loud the music is" how good is that?
