As I put away the leftovers from our family dinner I packed the next day’s lunch for Jac and me. There were three chicken skewers left; I pulled the meat off the skewers and divided it between two lunch boxes. I added lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, sliced sweet gherkin pickles, tasty cheese and asparagus. Jac got something extra in her lunch box – pickled onions. I like onions, but not pickled ones. Jac loves them. I’ve never found a pickle she didn’t like.

Oh yes, and one more thing extra for Jac. This little note.
