...I'm ridiculously spoiled and I don't cook.
Monday--My brother, Michael and the kids took me and Penélope out to Olive Garden for lunch. (My dear sister-in-law, Cari, was sick so she didn't get to go and neither did my dear husband since he was at work. We did kind of feel badly about that but not enough to say away from Olive Garden, I guess.)
Wednesday--Cari cooked dinner for all of us, including Grandma, who was in town for a few hours. It was way too good, mashed potatoes and gravy, Greek salad, and a roast!
Thursday--My dear brother-in-law, Jeremy, came up with a great plan for no good reason: he gave Christopher and I a gift certificate to the movies and he and Cathleen watched our baby Penélope. We felt like kids sitting in the movie theater sipping on a drink and munching on candy and popcorn. So fun!
Friday--Valeriana and Jerry, our good friends, had us over for dinner. She made our favorite meal: rice, beans, garlic homemade french fries and bife acebolado (thin brazilian steaks). Yum!
Saturday--We hung out with Michael and Cari all day. Michael bought pizza for all of us for lunch then he cooked dinner, another favorite, taco salad!
Today, Sunday--Christopher is on his way to pick up some coffee and french bread for lunch. I said I didn't feel like cooking. I feel moderately guilty for making such an assertion after what I just wrote. But on the other hand, I'm spoiled. Spoiled people don't have to feel guilty, right?
So thank you to all who make my life a breeze and keep my stove clean. Christopher, Michael, Cari, Cathleen, Jeremy, Valeriana and Jerry, I expect great things for next week.

I love it Michelle! You're such an entertaining writer. I don't know how I found your blog but I'm glad I did!

You really ARE spoiled! I think I´m that way too...only other people don´t cook for me, we just buy our lunch at our neighbor´s restaurant every day. Then on weekend´s I sort of make lunch..nothing fancy though. I envy having those friends around you though! Having people to do things with! That´s a great gift too!
Quero esses seus amigos aqui no Brasil já!! :)
