Bed and Breakfast

In April, I think, I joined a website called Bed'n'Fed, where one offers supper, bed and breakfast to visitors - for a fee.   I was getting rather pissed off with it, until the weekend, when, in the midst of the festival I got an email from Germany - asking for a room - for a couple with 2 small children.   I thought we'd risk it. 

I wasn't sure what to cook - but they suggested Italian - and said their children loved pasta - so I made pasta and meatballs.  I also made caponata with olive bread as a sort of starter.   I made very simple vanilla ice cream and chopped up strawberries and nectarines to add to it.  I also made some banana bread for tea.

I think I must stop doing bucatini - they are much fatter than spag. and harder to eat,.  Also they seem to lose heat more quickly, so not ideal.

Let's hope we get some good feedback and attract some more people - Markus and Anya were perfect quests, the appreciated the "charm" of the house - and thought the garden was "typically English" so they were really pleased - and so were we.
