He ordered Fried Chicken,
Maryland style, Potatoes au
Cratin, new Asparagus, red
cherry Pie. and a large cup Of
Coffee.
You know how it is when
you invite people to your home
for a meal. You like to see
them eat. So do |.
My friend certainly enjoyed
his dinner.

out his telling me 80. but he did
tell me that he did in these
words:
Bob. you certainly have
good cooking here. 1t tastes
like home cooking. | don't
