This is supposed to be a very lucky day in the Chinese calendar but it is also the 2nd anniversary of my divorce. Maybe I can put the two things together and have a good day. To ensure the best possible day, I have invited a few very close friends to come for a meal tonight.My kitchen is close to finished. I did most of my cooking yesterday. The oven works and I had a hotplate from John T. I made a Boeuf Bourgignon which is delicious. There will be vegetables from a combination of my garden and the allotment - even potatoes. Diana gave me some apples from her tree and I have made an apple crumble. Don't worry; I'm not going to start making my own wine!
