Sunday Dinners, Once Again.
An invitation to dinner for my lovely Daughter-in-Law, My Son, and our friends.
Dear Lisa
It is altogether too wet to even think about a BBQ for Sunday lunch, so I am opting for a really good spaghetti sauce, pasta and salad. After Warren’s big bonfire last week, a sausage sizzle just won’t cut it and I own Robbie’s cookbook! Stuart and Jane are bringing Ian, and it will be great to see their lovely son again. He is growing up so fast.
First, as Mrs Beaton says: “Get your best spaghetti sauce recipe.” (My mum’s maiden name really is Beaton — but no relation to the original lady of “first catch your hare” as far as I know!)
Well, I ring her to say “Mum, I am in serious trouble. Actually, it is Robbie who is in serious trouble!” “Why?” asks my Mum. “Because he died without writing his special sauce recipe in his cookbook, that’s why! And I promised everyone Robbie’s spaghetti for lunch.”
Lisa, you know how much Annette loved his ravioli — always two helpings and a doggie bag to go. I remember the wonderful dinner he made for our last Mother’s Day family event. So, I am running with plan B.
