@Lawrene0, your dog busicuits, that takes the cake! I did not even know you can make them 😉
I'm offering breakfast, officially, but often they dn't eat it or just make some coffee or tea and head out. I serve dinner from time to time, when guests arrive late or in a downpour, like yesterday's guest. She flew in from Delhi, arrived late, tired and just at the moment I was thinking about dinner too. She had asked about restaurants before, but decided not to go out again and forego dinner. Without opening the fridge, I offered: "Noodles or salad?" and she jumped on the salad, having not had anything fresh in 2 weeks. Only there was not much in my fridge, as I'm going on a long trip in a few days. Some endive cut in chunks, black, red and green olives from the market, red beans, cooked chestnut, half a pear, which gave it an interesting touch, roasted pumpkin seeds. A dressing of olive oil, Dijon mustard, 2 different vinegars and a few slices of bread - could be an anticipated breakfast 😉
We opened a bottle of red wine and had a discussion about different French tax options over dinner, real cost declaration or micro-company, Vat or no Vat, which made it a stranger visit than some.
I hope this thread stays open: I'd like to find some ideas and contribute some recipices, when I really cook 😉
