Thursday, July 9th was our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. It was a day worthy of Celebration<\/em><\/strong> so I pulled out all the stops…!! The girls were home so I decided it would be much nicer to dazzle up the dining room and prepare a really yummy meal at home instead of going out.<\/p>\n

I headed down to my beloved ‘Holiday Hall’ in the basement for inspiration and came up with the love-bird theme. I found the cute\u00a0bird decoration you see hanging from the chandelier in a charming little shop in Canterbury. I was over visiting my daughter Ali when she was studying there. It was the year my youngest daughter Claudia was graduating from high school, and I liked the idea of the little bird leaving the nest. So it came in very handy for the love-birds theme!\u00a0On the table I put various little bird decorations, including the Murano glass lovebirds I got in Venice to celebrate our anniversary some years ago.<\/p>\n

Being the lazy chef that I have become, I wanted something fast, yummy, and easy to prepare. So, here was our Anniversary menu:<\/p>\n

Caprese Salad (see recipe here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Seafood Paella (see recipe here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Eton Mess (see recipe here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It was all Deelicious! I even had enough Paella left over so did not have to cook on Friday evening!<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n
