We went over to theirs last night to go their local pantomime. She suggested that we got there a little early so she could rustle up something to eat for us before we go. I was trying to think of excuses, but OH said look, it would probably be quicker and easier if we took her up on the offer, we'll just have to grin and bear it. Well she served up what she called a corned beef hot pot with green beans and carrots. The beans were still green, the carrots were still orange and were cooked to perfection, and the corned beef hotpot was absolutely delicious. Both of us said "This is lovely" so there was no need for her to fish for compliments! She said would you like a little bit more? We said "yes please" . This is an absolute first. To our compliments she simply replied "I'm glad you liked it" instead of going into an exhaustive list of ingredients, where she bought and sourced them and generally blowing her own Trumpet. What a refreshing change..long may it continue!
