It seems I am still somewhat discombobulated. It didn’t occur to me until I received a late agenda that I had a kinder committee meeting last night. Pretty silly of me considering it was clearly written on the calendar. Furthermore, I had no idea at all that it was my turn to bring food.

A quick check of the pantry and the garden saved the day. I whipped up a batch of hommus in the thermomix as well as a broad bean and feta dip. Some Sardinian parchment bread completed my offerings.
