So... Whats for lunch?

[Gopher]

That's perfectly excusable.

[kitten]

So what are you having for lunch today?

[Gopher]

Sardine sandwiches and a dish of rhubarb.

[kitten]

Pea and ham soup with Swiss cheese crackers.

[Gopher]

Don't we eat well? Not to mention exotically.

[kitten]

It does sound rather mundane.  But then we can't always expect to dine at the Ritz or its modern equivalent.

[Gopher]

And who would want to anyway? Home cooking is not only more economical, it's almost always far more enjoyable.

[kitten]

Sometimes I wish I could be royally pampered, though.  And I wouldn't have to do dishes afterward.

[Gopher]

In that case I suggest you have a holiday with some very close friends, not only do they feed you well but they don't let you help with the washing up (in return I provided the ingredients and they did let me cook one meal for them).When they visit Chateau Gopher the roles will be reversed.

[kitten]

My relatives are in N.B., and my close friends live here.  And I'm always expected to pitch in with the dishes.

[Gopher]

Please tell them that I insist that you be given a washing-up free year!

[kitten]

I really don't want them to crack their ribs from laughing too hard.

[Gopher]

You're always so considerate. I'm going back to work now, enjoy the rest of the day.

[Chicklet]

I had Salmon and polenta.  I am very full.

[tenkani]

Chicklet, are you here??
