Today Sarah and Jon came over and we had a family day. Sarah did her laundry. Jon played tennis with us. We all went out to lunch. Later Sarah helped me by making the dessert for our Sunday Wimbledon dinner with our friends. It was an especially nice day.

When I was relating to Jon what our dinner would be for Saturday night, he laughed and called it first world dieting. He has a point. This is a favorite diet dinner but seriously how many people can afford to diet on lobster tails? It cost about $20 for the lobster tails and maybe $2 for the rest of the components. How much would it have cost for us to go out for a way inferior meal? Probably a lot more including tax and tip. Sometimes it is a better strategy to cook luxe rather than dine out poorly.
