It all started with a dinner based on pasta a month ago. Then Evelien invited us over to her place for the dinner. We enlarged the group and 5 nice people sat around a round table (without swords) enjoying a great pumpkin soup, lots of vegetables, some good red wine and pleasant talk. And lots of laughing over the story of a rejected futon driven around in a car in search of a merciful soul to take it home. Hey, such evenings could become a (flexible) tradition! Just to meet each other and have good time!
The next time it took place in Maplewood Apartments. Mediterranean style. Bruschette with parmigiano, capperi, olive oil, basil and tomato slices, olives, cheese, tomatoes and seasoned cucumbers over salad leaves. Linguine with shrimps and mussels in spicy sauce with some fresh tomatoes. And white French wine. Replaced by some really good Spanish red wine. And a Brazilian dessert, the perfect sin, that kind of dessert you feel will never detach from your stomach wall, but you just can't stop eating.

Winter is knocking on the door and nothing is more desirable than a good home made stew or soup. That's what was the next dinner about. And again the Brazilian sin. I'll just call that dessert "
Brazilian sin" , it describes it very well. And the night blitz ride of two crazy Europeans (they just keep calling us that...) to the liquor store for a bottle of red wine before its closure.
It's not all about food, but still, it is very important as well as a really nice way to share time with people. We are after all social animals. And gathering around a fire was fundamental since the dawn of humanity. We are not able to light a camp fire in the "living room", on the carpet between wooden walls. But we have small candles and the warmth of that small lively fire gives to those sad brown walls an unusual yet lovely feeling.
