We really did invite E and A over for dinner because they were in hard times. Yes, it was because they are kind-of my students too, and in hard times, but it was meant as an act of kindness (and taken that way too!)
That said, we had an absolutely wonderful time: the food was simple, but simply wonderful (that is my ever-so-modest opinion) (but also the expressed opinion of everybody else, including Boo and Skibo!) the company was wonderful and E and A both played wonderfully with the sprogs:-)
Yours, contented,
N.

hi there.....will try out Fusion. I will be up in Woodstock in the fall to deliver a workshop and will check it out.
Glad your evening and dins was fun. It's always such a good feeling to provide sustenance to friends.....it's one of my fav things to do.......tomorrow is my turn to cook for friends. looking forward to it.
I'm free most nights to pop over :)
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
Awareness: enjoy the cooking: we are doing a french theme tomorrow in honour of Bastille day, so it is going to be a wonderful kitchen spectacular!

It was so nice for you to help them...my husband and I had a similar experience just today, only on the flip side of the coin. We've fallen on hard times (my husband hasn't got a paycheck in 7 weeks because some idiot stole $300,000 from the company he works for..breaking them basically!), and our good friends bought my husband a $100 birthday dinner for his birthday today...it was top choice ribeye steaks all around BBQ'd with potatoes, veggies and handmade rolls and we LOVED every moment of it.
Friends who do things like that are a treasure, but we do plan on "paying them back" once we get back on our feet and our friends have birthdays this fall ;)
Thanks for sharing...Michele sent me to ramble on like this tonight :D
Stephanie, Good luck getting back on your financial feet: hope that it all gets settled soon.
And while it may have been good of us to help them, it certainly felt good to us to do it! And I always like to think that what goes around comes around, and these are good people who will one day help someone else out:-)

They will remember this throughout their lives, and your kindness will be paid forward many, many times.
Carmi,
When I was a graduate student, I was paid many kindnesses --- I am still repaying them, with interest, to other people:-)
