The day before Thanksgiving, I was pleasantly surprised when a long time friend, Helen popped in from Hawaii to visit. Her sister lives in LA and while she was only going to be here for a few days, we always try our best to see each other. I’ve known Helen for almost 20 years, so it was so great to know she was coming up. She flew in Monday and was leaving on Thursday, which made it rather challenging to coordinate something that would work. With my crazy schedule, it was gonna be hard for me to make it down to them, so they offered to drive up to my place and cook me dinner since I would be at work. How cool is that! They brought all the goods and did ALL the cooking.
Yes, my friends rock.
And, they didn’t just come with Chicken McNuggets either. The menu was filet mignon, rack of lamb, eggplant, zucchini and corn on the cob. And, we had a nice cinnamon coffee cake for dessert. OMG, it was out of sight, so delicious. It was soooooooooooo nice to have someone take time out to come and see me and cook for me. I mean that meant so much to me and it was so great to know I have such awesome friends. After stuffing our faces, we played a few games, did some singing and had a great night. Helen actually had to leave on the first flight out on Thanksgiving morning back to Hawaii, so she ended up staying over and going straight to LAX at 6am. I had such a nice time and really enjoyed their company. It was a great way to start off Thanksgiving with such loving friends. Great food + great friends = good times.
Here are some images from that wonderful night. Fun, fun, fun…….
