Friday Night at the Table

Although Beatrice claimed it was a "very simple meal" it was elegant and delicious. After the before-dinner-champagne, we now enjoyed several kinds of wine, lovely conversation (including Eddie commenting on his annual trip to Lourdes, saying he wasn't particularly religious, but that he was always moved by his experiences there), more wine, some cognac, much more conversation and goodness-knows-what-else-to-drink! Just your typical "simple" meal that lasts for about three hours or so and that leaves one satisfied on many levels. Lovely!
