A few weeks ago, I unpacked my good china. For five years it sat
in a dish-pack in a Sunnyvale garage. I briefly unpacked it when I moved to
Arlington, but never used it before it went back into a carton for the move to
the People’s Republic, where it sat in a closet for more than two years.
Once it was out, however, I realized I now have enough plates to
invite people over for dinner. I also dug around and found my serving dishes;
yay! So last night I hosted three friends for a summer meal—chicken, squash,
salad and pavlovas. I’m still working out the technical details of sourdough
baguettes, so I had a backup from the farmers market. I’m a girl who likes
redundant systems.
Today I’m grateful that finally clearing out that carton inspired
me to invite friends to come over for supper and discussion. I’ve missed this.
