What's for dinner

So Ali, my roommate, and I would look through the kitchen every night to try and find ourselves something to eat for dinner. We would do this so that our host family wouldn't feel obligated to wait on us all the time. The only thing we would ever be able to find is bread. I can't tell you how sick I am of just plain bread, because on those days I would eat just bread for breakfast and dinner. Two nights ago we decided to wait for the family to get home and just eat with them. The first person to get home was the 10 year old and we waited until 9:30 to eat 3 pieces of chocolate and a bowl of popcorn. S0 last night we scoured the kitchen and found some pasta. We didn't know if they were going to use it for something specific, so we went upstairs to ask if we could use it to make our dinner. Anita, the 20 year old, said yes, but then insisted she make it for us. It was really sweet, but again we didn't want to make her feel as though she had to serve us. Anyway, last night we had pasta with sugar. That's all it was topped with, and it was pretty good.

Pasta topped with sugar? Oh man, I don't even want to think about the nutritional re-education I'm going to have to give you when you get back.

I can't believe how quickly your pre-departure love sonnets to all things bread have vanished, by the way.

Don't get me wrong, the bread is delicious, I just want more to eat for a meal than a piece of bread. I thought I was in Romania..not prison.

Aunt Betty said that pasta with sugar will be on the revised thanksgiving menu in your honor.
It will be placed on the table next to the cresent rolls. We love you Perp.
