The Kindness of the Thoughtful Host

"What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?"
~ Aeschylus

During the holidays, we were invited to dinner at the home of some dear friends who are always incredibly thoughtful.  I was especially appreciative that one of the hosts, a fantastic cook and baker, remembered that I cannot eat a certain combination of foods.  He made some delicious hors d'oeuvres and made sure to leave off one of the ingredients, so that I could eat the savory dish.  I was thinking about how kind he was when I remembered the beautiful cake that he made and decorated for one of my daughters' birthdays a couple of years ago.  Being at these friends' house always feels like being home.
