Anticipating Dinner

The sky is gray, and rain drops are clinging to my window. The rumbling of thunderstorms interrupts the stillness of the apartment, and occasionally the world flashes bright with lightning.

A leg of lamb is roasting in the oven. The smell of garlic and rosemary is wafting into the sitting area. I've got chocolate mousse chilling in the fridge and plenty of whipped cream to cut the dessert's bitter notes.

The stemware is out, the tablecloth ironed, and I feel calm. Everything is okay. I am healthy, my family and friends are well. In a little while the kitchen and the apartment will be all hustle and bustle as guests arrive. But there is some time yet. In this moment I am at peace and happy.

Wishing you a lovely Easter,
FID
