Our lives continued as Justina nd Jane decided to make a dinner that started with cheese and peppers on prentitious crackers
continued with pasta
and bread
and included olives
diet tonic water
butter that's good for you (until they discover it isn't)
and various toppings including crushed peppers
grated cheese
and concluded with salad
and dead animal.
Jane was happy
because she had her seltzer
Justin was happy
as was Ben though he seemed to be on the table
and I was amused
by my plate
even as this plate
brought out the best in Suzanne's one handed pepper mill.
