A little while ago we had some friends around.
As I’m the worst hostess ever, and have managed to get comfortably into middle age without ever actually cooking a meal, any fare served is either a take away or a smorgasbord of snacks.
In my defence, I make a great snack platter. And a decent sandwich.
As we generally have well bred friends…. Except for that one, now that I think about it…. They bought a little gift.
(It’s possible our friends bring something to sustain them in case there is nothing on offer).
But! These friends bought a bag of popcorn and a big box of smarties. What a delight of a gift.
It gets better…
Because… they said. ‘Put them together in a bowl and then every now and again there’s a smartie in the mix as you snack’.
How did I not know this? It’s as good as frozen strawberries in your wine instead of ice.
Life is a treasure for sure. It’s become a favourite.
