We had friends over to ours today- lunch, dinner and movie…
The menu? It was what we call ‘Paya Soup’ in our part of the world- it was something we used to have may be once a year- a cholesterol filled soup made with leg bones and cooked on stove with lots of herbs and spices for 12+ hours. Because it is so bad for you- it is also delicious- as you know that’s how things work in this world… It is one of those things you nag to mommy about, after all mommies get blackmailed easily. Well…. usually.
This friend lost her mommy some years back and hasn’t had that soup since then. She asked me to call her when I make it next. I did. In fact, it was cooked because she asked- I don’t cook it that often otherwise. It meant some that she had asked.
So yea- we ended up having a good time- lazy chats about alien landings and conspiracy theories, the 33 degrees heat outside, the air conditioner, the cone ice creams, a fluffy cat roaming around- it was lazy good; and now that everyone has gone back to their homes- I’m slowly calling it a day… a day I made myself happy by opening up to the world just a little bit.
G’day to you, too!
