My mother was discharged from the hospital a few weeks back, but we remain in Nashville for treatment upkeep and infection prevention. While crowded rooms and children, along with live flowers and uncooked vegetables, should be avoided, she is entirely up and about, so when my parents' friend H. and her son F. invited us over for dinner, we happily accepted. We had drinks and dumplings on her back porch then went inside for dinner. She had a lot of great flatware. One day I hope to have plates that I chose on purpose. One day.
Dinner was barbequed pork tenderloin, cous cous and a cheesy squash dish.
Very tasty.
For dessert we were given homemade chocolate macademia nut brownies with coffee ice cream.
Thanks to H. and F. for a lovely home cooked meal. It had been a while for all of us. You sort of forget what it's like to spend time in someone's actual home after days of hotel or hospital living. Also, if you're looking for something to donate to or volunteer for, this could be something you might consider.

hooray hospital break! also that pork looks a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
Amen on the pork! I am grilling one tomorrow, assuming that it makes it past the Dog-Who-Eats-All, including a month or so ago an entire 3 pound super sealed not-thawed pork tenderloin. Yep whole thing, plastic and all. Oh well. I am thawing it in the fridge and hope to not leave it within reach of Elastic LadDog the incredible stretching and reaching eating machine. And a hospital break is awesome!
