Gourmet Meal
The other day in town we found some pasta and pasta sauce. The pasta was “real Italian pasta”. I always look at the country of origin before buying anything and this real Italian pasta came directly from Canada. Oh well. 
The pasta sauce is just a plain tomato sauce from America. (There’s a brand here called American Garden that you can find a few limited items in.)
That night Jonathan and I came back to the banda and didn’t want to go to the dining room so we made the pasta meal and ate outside on our porch at dusk by candlelight. It was one of the nicest meals we’ve had here. The familiar taste was wonderful. Now it wasn’t anything fancy and we actually never ate our spaghetti that way when we lived in the States but it was still very familiar and we felt like we were living in the lap of luxury.
We bought a little more sauce so we can do 2 more of these meals before leaving. I’m tempted to make it every night but it wouldn’t take long to get tired of it so instead we’re saving it to treat ourselves with.
Of course, today for lunch we had grilled cheese sandwiches and corn. That seemed gourmet to us too. We ooh’ed and aah’ed all the way through it. Yum, yum! It’s amazing how little it takes sometimes!
