impromptu dinner party

My friend Eric and I were playing video games one day and mentioned that one of our best friends was going to be in town that night to go to a party with his girlfriend. It was a Saturday and I had gone to Green City and just started braising a pork shoulder in ale and honey so I decided to have everyone over for dinner. It is still mid spring so it was asparagus and mushrooms to go with the pork. Nothing feeds the soul like a meal with close friends. I was truly lucky to have a few coincidences break my way and to have such a great time.
