Last Night

One of my friends (a country girl) from writing class stays with me one night a week (because it's more than an hour drive home to her place in-the-middle-of-nowhere).

I have to tell you how much

I LOVE THIS GIRL

So - should you.

I came home from work tonight. Distracted - tired – and feeling like I'm coming down with a sore throat.

I walked into the kitchen, I opened up the refrigerator - to put something in it. A pizza box (from two weeks ago) is moved. I think “Oh good! Maybe she had a piece or two of pizza for breakfast, since there was no milk for cold cereal this morning. I was also feeling bad that I'd turned off the coffee pot when I left for work. (But that turned out to be a good thing, because she didn’t wake up ‘till after 11:30 this morning)

Then I turned around to the kitchen bar ... hmm - two CLEAN wine glasses sat on my uncluttered counter - but nothing registers (although the bar was covered in mail and newspapers this morning).

I turn back to the other side of the kitchen to grab a bottle of wine - by the coffee maker ....

HEY! What are all these clean dishes??

I look around – and suddenly I realize ... she did ALL MY DISHES - from the last two days!

AND! AND!

As I look around a little more, I realize the whole kitchen has been straightened up.

And!??

SHE swept my KITCHEN FLOOR TOO!

Holy Mother of God I love her!

So go send her a woo (comment on her blog) people!

Well, how did your final turn out? Your recipe below sounded like it would be great folded onto a pita with some raw cabbage and salsa mixed in to be eaten as a fish taco. I know, simplicity ...wife calling gotta go.

More important than giving her a woo, call her mother and tell her that she was being clean clean clean. Or, um, maybe not--it'll raise expectations....

I meant 'good'...not god...although, after eating your food and drinking your wine, I occasionally make the mistake! :-)
