a home-cooked meal

Tokyo, 2010.04.24

Jon's brother Martin and his family have been "stranded" in Tokyo since the volcano's eruption in Iceland.

They're happy to be here, but they'd not had a home-cooked meal since arriving early in the month. Mari suggested that they come over for dinner, today, and prepared several fine dishes. Everyone seemed to have a fine time, and Jon reported that the small gifts Mari picked up (she thinks of everything) were a hit.

Three good things that happened today:

1. Good friends

2. Good food

3. Happy kids making lots of noise
