It certainly doesn't *sound* like leftovers, Gloria! Sounds delicious!

Sounds yummy. Sometimes the leftover meals are the best

Sounds really, really nice. I opted out of Easter this year, stayed home,
did not cook, and had anything I felt like grabbing. The best thing was
the simplest: angel hair pasta with too much fresh garlic smashed and
diced, a little butter, a good amount of fresh parmesan cheese.

Tonight was sirloin tips and soggy rice and broc with cheddar slivers.

Crap! I thought we were friends! You have stayed in my home! Yeah,
you called to invite me and I wasn't home. Right.

Weren't you gadding about on the right coast sniffing the
cherry blossoms
and confusing poor legal immigrant drivers? And talking
monkeys with Blake?

You can come to Colorado any time. Bring Rob and we'll
introduce him to
a new company. Bring Young Child. Depending on the season
bring
galoshes or sun block and a parasol. It'll be much more
fun for me than
hosting random Swedes, and I'll cook leftovers for ya.
