LAST after a busy evening that comprised a lot of prep for a dinner for friends (a family of 6) tomorrow at 3. Potato salad half constructed (I boil the potatoes and then immediately toss with veg and a glug or three of olive oil - they absorb less mayo the following day, and the onion and celery flavour deepens; I dress them with mayo and spice them the next day). Batch of hummus constructed, batch of spinach dip, eggs hard boiled for salad and snacks this week, dishes all done. Big guy is roasting a chicken and air-frying chicken pieces tomorrow (marinating them tonight) and making a (mix) cake and constructing a veggie tray. He is playing hooky from church (it's a habit of his when the rev is not there), but I'm reading and driving our friend, so I'm at church tomorrow a.m.
