We had friends over for dinner last night. Served chicken from the BBQ (no bbq sauce). done with Braggs Aminos, quinoa and salad. The chciken breasts were great (using chicken on the bone leaves it tasting more moist), and then some dessert of lots of little tasting items from Earthfare. I had lots of calories left over so I took a few little tastes of some.
Best of all was time to talk with them about "stuff." She has been suffering since her Mom died and giving her a place to talk with some understanding folks seemed to do the trick for her. I suspect they will be back soon. Sharon and Jack both enjoyed it, he enjoyed playing with friends, she enjoyed a social evening, something she is not prone to having usually because her nature is to be isolating (as is mine).
We had spoken earlier in the week about how our son wanted to get together with a particular friend who was a grade ahead of him and wasn't part of the texting circle (we have chosen not to get a cell phone for him yet). We realized in talking that it was hard for him to be social with his friends because he never saw us being social with ours.
Breaking from the routine for the night was nice; we'll do it again.
