A Quiet Day

Since my cold was not much better today, we decided to stay home and have a quiet day. In fact, we are doing the same tomorrow in order to prepare for our three days in Liverpool.  I spent most of the morning resting.  After lunch Debbie and I went to local supermarket to buy what we needed for dinner.  I asked if I could cook dinner today. 

As you can see, Debbie has a wonderful kitchen. It was a pleasure working in it.

I decided to do an Italian menu.  I stared with a bruschetta made with carmelized red onions, calamata olives and Stilton cheese. The entree was Soaghetti Cabonara with asparagus .  Then I made my own version of strawberry shortcake.  This is a picture of Peter and Debbie at the dinner table.

I excused myself after dinner and went to bed early.  The pictures below are of their house and garden. Debbie tends the garden and does a superb job.
