Tuesday night dinner
It's all Max's
fault. He started out innocently enough proposing that we have dinner
together once a week; he even volunteered to cook it.
If only he knew what he had started.
Weekly, a group of 8 to 20 people arrive on our doorstep, hungry and
occasionally bearing gifts of snack food and intriguing beer and wine,
and give us an excuse to clean the house every so often. We have
successfully provided for these people for over two years, with
no end in sight.
