The Food of Love

How does a Rachael say "I love you" to a Richard?

Through food, obviously!

Restaurants are terribly overrated (or maybe I would just like to believe that because I don't go to them often), so Richard and I usually make the living room carpet our cafe with me as the executive chef! After many sleepless nights of mentally considering and rejecting different menu options, I arrived on what I considered the perfect meal for my hubby.

Our starters included fresh cut mango, Italian stuffed mushrooms, and prosciutto wrapped asparagus

our main course was shrimp and white bean hummus flatbread pizzas
a third course of fruit and cheeses
and to finish...a purely decadent chocolate, peanut butter mousse cake
Richard bestowed upon the meal the coveted "best meal I have ever eaten in my life" title!

and that is how a Rachael tells a Richard that she loves him!!
