August 12, 2012. Western Head, NS. Friend's Food.

There are many benefits, living close to your good friends.  Yesterday, late afternoon, Gill walked by to ask if we wanted to eat dinner.  She purchased fresh food and did not wish to eat alone.  In the afternoon, her son and daughter in law left for New York.  Ken had just come  in from the garden, bringing cucumbers, green beans and carrots.   It was our intention to cook ribs but we were delighted to share her fish.    Gill walked home for the fish.  When she returned, Ken kicked us both out of the kitchen while he cooked the fish and the vegetables.  It was a delicious shared dinner.

This afternoon, I called Wendy to ask if they wanted to come and eat a rib dinner with us?  She suggested a better idea.  Last evening they had dinner guests and ended up with too much food.   Of course, Ken and I were delighted to eat shrimp and scallop pasta.  They brought the food over and we dined at our home.     They brought wine and bread too.  I served cucumbers from the garden.  For dessert we ate local blueberries with vanilla yogurt.  Delicious.

Two evening in a row we have been the beneficiary of our friends food and generosity.  It is a wonderful side benefit of living close to good friends.
