"We didn't spare the words..."

"...and on the way they enjoyed the food that wasn't fast, and the friendships that held, we didn't spare the words. We shared them. We meant them. and they served us well." - Jodi Hills

For Christmas Sara gave me the most wonderful tray with the quote above written on it.  I LOVE it.  I love what it says and how it pertains to our meal co-op. I have written this before but I love the meals (that is beyond question) but I also love that we are four friends, four families, who care about each other and check in at a minimum of once a week despite our busy lives.  I know if I need something one of them will step in to help - no matter the need and I would of course do the same for them.

We've been exchanging meals since August 17, 2008.  That's about 2 1/2 years - CRAZY!  We've had a change in families and some minor tweaks but otherwise it is still pretty true to form. 

Just for fun (I know my dad enjoys hearing the variety of meals we get) here are the next couple of weeks of meals: 

4/3 - Pasta Primavera Alfredo, Chipotle Beef Taquitos, Curly Noodle Pork

4/10 - Curried Chicken and Chickpeas, Thai Chicken and Noodle Salad, Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup

4/17 - Edamame Pate Turkey Sandwiches, Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, Pizza Loaves

We have had spring break so occasionally one person opts out and then we only have three meals that week.  

Thank you meal co-op ladies!  I love you :)
