Pasta with two sauces.
Fish cakes, salad and carrots with sesame.
Green tea and strawberry cobbler with cream for dessert.
I made a paperbag friendship book as a gift for the hostess. So easy to put together with scraps of paper, simple images, photos and quotations. The crocheted dishcloth underneath along with a candle and oatmeal raisin cookies accompanied the little book.

Hope you are having a fabulous Friday! Friendship blessings, Tammy

Sounds like a wonderful evening spent with friends. Have a great weekend Tammy. :-)
The table setting is simple and inviting and the menu the same. You can't go wrong with pasta! OR, strawberries.
I'm sure your gift was greatly appreciated by your hostess, too. So charming and lovely.
Hope your day is going well. It's already 75 degrees here and the sheets are hung out to dry!
Hugs

A thoughtful gift and an enchanting dinner - looks lovely.
Cool and dreary still here. Waiting on sunshine. Maybe tomorrow.
Have a great weekend,
Linda
Thank you so much!
Hope you'll enjoy Nepal as much as I enjoyed Istanbul :)
Waiting for your pics ;)

What a beautiful and thoughtful gift! You are such a generous soul. I do not "enjoy" my food as you so obviously do. I typically eat standing up, as if it's just a chore to get it over with. And I guess, for me, that's what it is. Saddens me when I see others make a ritual out of it. Somehow it just isn't in me.

I may need to clarify that statement. It doesn't sadden me that you make a ritual out of it. I think that's wonderful. It saddens me that I don't seem to have the capacity to enjoy eating with others. I'm kind of solitary that way.

Good food, good company and a great hostess gift - an ideal evening. Good for you!
Wow..I want to invite you to dinner! You give great stuff! Seriously, what a thoughtful and caring friend you are..the food looks good and the "mood" lighting actually makes it look cool..as in..not 108degrees!
Love the lighting! Such a great way to share with friends.
Your mood lighting is so good....I love it.
What a wonderful quote that I thoroughly agree with...lol
You are such a generous person my sweet friend. I would sooo love to have dinner with you in the moonlight!

Dearest Tammy,
You certainly made a special gift for your hostess! The food looks delicious and very healthy. Great idea for the green tea and strawberry cobbler! Healthy choices. Love the carrots with sesame. What a wonderful way to spend time together at a friend's place!
Hope you did stay well today with 45° C.
Lots of love from Georgia with 'only' 33° C...

I think your photos look good, makes the food look very yummo! I remmeber making scrapbooks like that.. it has been a while since I have done anything artistic, what am I waiting for?
Hugs! Have a great weekend.
The journal is sweet Tammy. The quote is comical but true. And the food sounds great. Diane
Oh that table setting might be simple but it really looks great... I'm a sucker for candlelit dinners. And your food looks so good.
Agree... we must regularly stop to eat,
one of the joys of living.
The dinner at your friends house and the paper bag book you made for her both look awesome! thanks so much for visiting my art blog ; ^ ) lenna
It's freaking amazing that you use to live close to me & now your across the ocean! From what I understand & have heard, no one was hurt from the explosion at the site. They did an evacuation of 5 miles, then it went to 1 mile the day it happened.
It's always nice to get together with friends for a visit. Take care.

what an amazing feast....and the little book you made is lovely. You need to start doing tutorials, you are very talented!
It all looks delicious! And I agree with what Pavarotti said :) I love food!
Great present too.
