lysistrategicAfter a private, intimate celebration of Arthur's birthday on the 19th, and also a celebration of the recovery of her memories, by the following week, Joan felt confident enough to do some light socializing. Rather than Annie and Auggie who were still tense, and Toly and Lex who had their own amnesia-related issues still to work out, Joan invites Nick and Dairine to join them again. The first meal had been pleasant, both she and Arthur entertained and Dairine and Nick seemed to enjoy it as well.
Tonight, Joan opts for a more traditionally American summer meal than last time, as close as she can get. Boar ribs with a pineapple-soy glaze. Baked french fries. Potato salad with celery and a mustard mayonnaise made from some ancient mustard seeds she found in the kitchen pantry. Strawberry-rhubarb pie and some (plain, thank you) vanilla ice cream from Delirium. A few of John's sodas, beer, and water, coffee for later. It takes all day, but it's a pleasant sort of labor, one she enjoys.
She's just setting flowers from her garden, brightly colored snapdragons in a vase on the table when there's a knock at the door. "Arthur, love, will you get that? It's probably Nick and Dairine."
[ooc: Order is Joan, Arthur, Nick, Dari unless we email otherwise.]
