"If you really want to make a
friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their
food give you their heart."
~ Cesar Chávez
We have
friends who are just... well, very special.
On a recent evening, they called to see if we were interested in some
pulled pork and potato salad that the husband had made for a family gathering
the day before. I was delighted and
happily drove to their house to pick up the food. Both dishes were delicious. They had given me a good amount, so I called
my mother and asked her if she wanted dinner.
Another working woman, she accepted gratefully. As she sat in my kitchen close to 10 pm, she
said, "Well, I didn't think I was going to eat this well
tonight." She also pronounced the
pulled pork the best she's ever had.
There is something very nice about friends sharing food.
