Thoughtful Card and a Dinner Treat

thoughtful card

 

sweet potato soup

chicken

unsweetened dried mango


Husband M's good friend had suffered a stroke back in August.  His wife had heard about my broken shoulder which happened around the same time.  Anyway I think they were under the impression I am still healing and they wanted to bring us a home cooked dinner to thank us for our kindness at the time of his accident.  They had really appreciated our card and daughter L's healthy home made muffins. In fact they were so hungry in the hospital they gobbled all the muffins. 

So at the end of November, they brought over some delicious (gingery) sweet potato soup, chicken, sticky rice, crackers, cookies, and these unsweetened dried mangos that we really liked.  Apparently a family member makes and markets these at Whole Foods and other markets.  We will get more of these for sure. Oh and I received a lovely get well card pictured above.

What a great start it was to the Christmas season!
