Pa and I have just
withdrawn from the feasting to allow the younger guest the liberty to
talk as they please. I spent a lovely day making and baking all
manner of pastries until there was so much food that we could not get
all of it on the table. It has been my experience that young men are
always hungry so I followed my instincts and made loads of
everything.
The Dungeoneers are a
fine body of men,they are good humoured, intelligent, kind and
thoughtful, amongst other attributes and I an glad that my son has
such good friends. They also have healthy appetites which endears
them to me,as I love to cook.
The men did their best
endeavours and managed to demolish a good amount of the party food,it
is always a pleasure to give these chaps a party,Pa and I are very
fond of them all and consider them family,what could be better than a
house full of hungry boys.
I intend ,if all goes
well,to cook a medieval banquet for the Dungeoneers this Christmas,
roast chicken,game and trenches, game pie, and sweetmeats,and of
course lots of mulled wine.
I hope that cooking
this banquet will help me not to miss making a party for my sons
friends at work, it will seem strange not to be baking all the
seasonal goodies,so a banquet might fill the gap.
Pa has nodded off and I
think now that I shall take a bath as I am very tired.
I have loved every
minute of today and with so many birthdays to celebrate all at once
it is no wonder things were merry.
I hope you all had a
lovely weekend, goodnight.
