A wonderful dinner last night.

Good morning, friends. Yesterday everything could not have been better. My brother and his wife arrived (I let them in by the garage as my brother has phobia for dogs. He saw the giant bags the Mario had filled with what he took out of the garden and offered to takeout 3 bags every day at the time when the garbage truck arrived. I told him the I´d take his word as for me and for Anita it is too difficult. Dinner started with a delicious wine he brought. I provided Camember cheese and green olives filled with jalapeño chilies. Then there was the tongue, the salads and the sauces (mayo and chimichurri). They loved it. Dinner ended with chepes. I had several fillings for them and each of us chose what we wanted. I did not finish making the spinach soup after all so it will be part of my lunch. My SIL brought me some delicious bombons and I generously opened the bag to share with them. Conversation was nice and my brother offered to go with me to see the houses I could buy. I do know that it is part of his way of being (he always thinks that he knows best and has been that way since he was a child). But in this situation it helps me a lot. He is intelligent and can give me good ideas. They went away early and I got into my bed. The dishes are still soaking in the sink but I will not stay in the kitchen until it is warmer. But I will go and bring a cup of coffee. See you later.

I am absolutly sure that my brother in law had something to do with him being away from my life for so long. Still, I´ll take it easy. One step at a time.

@marguicha It is very possible. I know that the cause of my brother not being in contact with the family is the horrible girlfriend who lives with him... another "Meghan Markle".

@LadyDuck In this case, my sister´s husband is the foe. And my brother did not have the personality to decide for himself.My BIL is the kind of people who like to make fun of other people yet hides when someone doesn´t let him do that. I stopped him so he did not like me. But the rest applauded him. He is a disgusting human being and my sister thinks that every thing he does is perfect.

Thank you. I am very glad that things mended with my brother. I never knew why he stayed away from me for years (I think that it was my sister´s husband) but I´m happy to have him back.

Glad you had a good visit and dinner. He might catch problems that you would miss so it could be good to have him with you.

That's so nice that you and your brother seem to be getting along a bit better. I think many people become more mellow as we get older. No wonder they were impressed with the meal. It all sounds delicious.

I will go one step at a time though. I don´t want to be hurt again.

@marguicha Yes, you would need to step carefully. I doubt you could ever fully trust that he wouldn't turn on you at some point.
