It was so incredibly thoughtful of her to invite us for dinner.
After all, we didn't really know her, but we had had a passing acquaintance with her father many many years ago. So, for her to ask us to come to her home was above and beyond.
The dinner smelled delicious; then it was served.
The meal actually reminded me of something I would have fixed when I was newly-married, and didn't know how to cook. Or even of something I might fix now. In other words, it was sort of, how shall I say it...let me describe it....
the chicken was dry and rather tough. It was smothered in some sort of globby gloop that I'm not even really sure what it was....potatoes, rice - I couldn't really tell. Let me just say that it was very difficult to eat. The bread, fresh from the bread machine, had a distinctly odd taste to it. The salad at least, was good... it was fresh.
But, my point is certainly not to complain about her food, but rather to point out that I am a VERY picky eater, and that scares the heck out of me when I think of the upcoming Sept through June.
Whatever am I going to do when eating in a foreign country with food that I cannot identify????????
Okay, so now I'm terrified; but could this finally be my way to lose weight?

Remarkable person. But, there are so many people that it was hard to keep straight who was who, for me. Allen makes a list of main chara...
