Husband M and I were invited to a friend's home recently, along with another couple. They retired to their cottage which is about an hour and a half drive north of here. It had been completely rebuilt and it was gorgeous with high ceilings and beautifully designed, not much of a cottage really. We were supposed to spend the night but the weather turned nasty and we decided to make it a day trip.
The chicken dinner was delicious. Dessert was a gingerbread cake with icing and an amaretto cheesecake. We all had a bit of both. I rarely drink but decided to have some Bailey's Irish cream liqueur on the rocks.
We received these delicious cookies as a parting gift.

They call them cottages because of the location, really. So many are retiring in the country.
