My husband amazed me today.
We discussed the food for today: tonight we're having a fryup, and a pork pie with pickle for lunch. After I had a nap (still not sleeping well at night), he got up and did me lunch.
Half the pork pie, cut into 6 slices, with a spoonful of Branston pickle and a spoonful of piccalilli on the plate and the offer of English mustard, which I declined because piccalilli. Not just put on a plate, but arranged so that it looked good.
The Japanese do say you eat with your eyes, and I remember from my days as a care assistant that jaded appetites are perked up when the food looks tasty and appetising. Somehow, hubby realised that and had taken the time and the trouble to create food I felt like eating, even though my appetite had faded over the last fortnight.
How lovely of him.
