The stones crush under my feet
The scent of lilies infuse the air.
The yellow little flowers add sunnies
To a quiet little place suiting our needs.
The whiff of freshly baked breads lingers
Olive oil still tastes on my tongue.
Dim lights and garden chairs
Candles tried to stay steady in the breeze.
The crickets sing in a nearby distance
As I break the warm olive bread.
The wine flows with our senses
The cucumber jellies soothing the palate.
While the sour dough ferments inside
The orange and walnuts tantalise my buds.
Rockets fill the sky like stars ,while
Squishy feta slyly slides to my throat.
The light pendulum highlights my eats
Spiced potatoes with grilled zucchini.
The candle on the salty ganache
Keeps bouncing back to life.
And the cinnamon in the honey ice cream
Adds a gentle sweetness to
His majestic smile
And a happy ending to our birthday week.
I decided to present him a melody of 5 senses and treated him over a 5 course meal. Why ? I love him with all my senses 🙂
I pinned each course with a special note related to senses, making our meal slightly more special and experience memorable !
And he enjoyed it with all his heart relishing and savouring each moment of the time we spent together last evening !
Happiness and sunshine 🙂

I did not realise how much thought was going behind the dinner, besides the food. But I thoroughly enjoyed it… both the dinner and the read
