Awesomeest Dinner Service Ever

Craig and I cooked dinner for seven tonight and served it at location Blue. We just made pasta with an onion-and-broccoli red sauce but it was awesome; the food and the location. The sauce, which was all Craig, was hearty and delicious and very well received; the location, which was all me, was literally awesome but a bit uncomfortable despite the table and chairs and full place-settings. If only it weren't so cold, and so the-day-after-Mardi-Gras, people might have stayed longer: we had wine and coffee and ice cream (alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and saturated fat) that we didn't even break into, or that we should have broken into earlier depending on how I look at it. The reason we were at location Blue in the first place is that none of us volunteers have housing where we can plan to entertain guests; other people's rules and other people's irritable dispositions have great sway over our livelihoods and living situations and thus over our social lives. I guess that is kind of what we signed on for: to do good work while living in shitty conditions. Anyways, I was really pleased to work as a team with my brother to do something cool for our friends-all that remains to be done is a sinkful of dishes.
