Friday again, time to reflect on the week that has passed and post about five favorite things from your week. Friday's Fave Five is hosted by Susanne at Living to Tell the Story, if you're looking for the rules, they're here.
1. The visit from my parents. Due to the operation my mother had last year and other circumstances, it' s been more than two years since my parents have been over for a visit to our place. At last we set a date and they came over by train last Saturday.We picked them up at the station early in the morning, and I served them breakfast. We've had sunshine and the occasional showers all day, but the sky cleared long enough for us to be able to visit the weekly market. After that we could eat outside on our patio and really enjoy some sunshine. No need to say the day went by way too fast!
2. The Mojito cocktail we had as an aperitif. Crushed ice, 50 ml of white Cuban rum, the juice of half a lime, some sprigs of fresh mint and two teaspoons of sugar. Very refreshing!
3. Black cherries I bought at the market. Juicy, sweet and so shiny I could see my own reflection!
4. Empty plates. I made a Moroccan lamb stew and it was delicious. Nothing but empty plates when we finished dinner!
5. Pancakes and fruit salad for breakfast. A real treat!

You serve such wonderful food and atmosphere on your patio, Jientje....your parents look as young as ever.
So glad your parents got to visit!!!
My mouth is watering at all your yummy goodies! So nice that your parents could visit and glad you mom is doing good after her surgery. Your patio looks like a lovely place to relax!
such fun times! I love being with family and I love cherries. Your glass of wine looks very good as well.
So glad your parents got to come visit and that your mom is doing better.
I have never tried lamb. I'd like to taste it from someone else's to see if I like it before putting the work into trying to make it myself.
It all looks so good. You re a wonderful hostess! I'm glad you had a nice visit.

It all looks delicious Jientje!
You are the one person I know that really loves to cook. :)
What a wonderful time you had with your parents--sunshine even. The weekly market and eating on the patio sound like great activities.
How nice to be able to pick up your parents in time for breakfast! And those cherries do look delicious!
