Imaginary Menu

Sorry, but this is going to be quick, my dears—I'm having a busy day! So instead, I'll just share with you the perfect imaginary meal that I'll be eating today. Don't worry, there are recipes for everything, so we can both try them out soon.

To start with, these Cheese Fritters with Balsamic Sun-dried Tomato Dipping Sauce sound pretty divine. Just a couple of these, followed by a light Caprese Salad, what do you say?

This Lemon Braised Chicken and Beans with Mint Pesto looks SO good, and SO easy. My mouth is watering in anticipation. Served with some good crusty bread, this would be perfection.

For dessert, let's keep it simple. Just some Salted Lavender Honey Shortbread...

And this Watermelon Granita. It sounds a little time-consuming, but the hard part—opening the freezer to scrape at the frozen bits every half hour—sounds like it would be refreshing anyway, so I don't mind. I can see this easily adapted to suit any fresh fruit you have around—lime and mint granitas anyone?

Hope I didn't get your mouth watering too much!
