Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 That is truely a wonderful neighbor. I am so happy for you. Amy - " Lisa Watson " <ozark_homesteader Monday, April 24, 2006 8:23 AM Dinner with the new neighbors Hi all, We had such a good evening, I just had to share. We (dh, myself and 6 children) just moved to a new town. Our new next door neighbors stopped by last weekend to introduce themselves and to invite all of us to dinner last night. We spoke all of 10 minutes, during which I mentioned that our 2 sons are autistic, we are vegetarian and my 7 year old is celiac. I was really worried about last night so I made some penne and soy cheese casserole and the brownies to take (though I chickened out on trying the tofu for the eggs) so that there would be gluten free food to eat. This wonderful woman had researched online to find vegan recipes (she knew that autistic kids are often milk free and " didn't know what kind of vegetarians " we were). And she asked her son-in-law doctor about celiac so she knew what grains to avoid. It was wonderful. A full baked potato bar w/ homemade chili (I'm going to share the recipe when I get it from her), grilled tomatoes, salad fixins with homemade dressing (so as to be gf vegan). I just cannot believe that someone would go to so much trouble. I was really touched. And her grandkids were there to play w/ my children and we all had a good time w/o worrying about the food :-) Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Wow! What a kind person to research all of the that! My mother in law did't een do that the first time I had dinner with her! LOL! So hard to find good people nowadays. You are lucky to have such great neighbors! Lisa Watson <ozark_homesteader wrote: Hi all, We had such a good evening, I just had to share.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 How lovely !!! I have to take food with me anywhere I go. No one I know even bothers to try, and some of our neighbours don't even talk to us. Do you think your neighbour would consider moving to Australia - next door to me ?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 think that you happened upon not only a new home but wonderful neighbors too -- that is priceless -- can we too move to your neighborhood? -- Lisa Watson <ozark_homesteader wrote: Hi all, We had such a good evening, I just had to share.
