Banter.
Good, intelligent and well written old-fashioned banter.
The sign of an intelligent and talented writer.
It was almost like watching a couple through a window that allowed for sight and sound. I was a little embarrassed peeking in on such an intimate dinner.
The description of the meal itself was too divine to be ignored, I was so anxious to take a bite that my mouth was watering. Have you cooked such a dish yourself? Because from the delightfully skillful manner in which the preparations were written, it sounds like this recipe is a family favorite.
Speaking for myself, thank you for letting me attend this cooking lesson!
Last part coming up...sigh.
