Sharing A Simple Meal

Is your fridge full like mine? I'm sure you have food that is about to spoil, too, because you either bought too much at one time or you've been to lots of Christmas parties lately and haven't been home to eat it. Or did you fix a big pot of soup and have tons leftover that you probably won't eat? (Like we usually do, good intentions, but it doesn't always happen.)

Consider inviting some friends or neighbors over for a relaxed dinner during the week. Nothing fancy and not a dinner party. Just a spontaneous phone call will put a smile on the end of the line. It's a rare treat to share a simple meal together and so rarely done nowadays.

We decided this morning that we had too much food for the two of us to eat by ourselves, so we invited a friend of ours' over for lunch. My husband called this morning and asked. Nothing planned. Nothing fancy. But I'm sure our friend appreciated the thought and will enjoy my husband's downhome cooking as much as I do.
