I got treated tonight. A friend came by and said he wanted to make us dinner. He's been staying in the cabin down the road from us and has had dinner at our house a few times. His plan was to make dinner at the cabin and then bring it down. He was running late, though, and so I convinced him to make dinner in my kitchen so we could all help chop the vegetables.
It worked out great. I didn't have to figure out what to make and his pasta dish was delicious. The conversation was wonderful, too.
He'll be leaving to go back to the city next Monday. We'll all miss him.
P.S. I couldn't find any photos of pasta. This one came up when I put in the word "surprise."
