A Miserable Lunch

[mrs_overall]

Three of us friends meet up regularly for lunch, occasionally out but most times we take it in turn to host the lunch at home. One of the ladies sometimes brings a fourth lady (I shall call her Jane, because that is her name) who is more of an acquaintance than a friend. When we do lunch it is nothing flash - I usually do a homemade soup, homemade bread & something sweet to follow.
Yesterday Jane invited us to her (rather nice) house) and we were all drooling over a lovely quiche she had just taken from the oven.
Guess what she fed us? We had beans on toast....one of those small tins of beans and one slice of toast each....we each had about 6 baked beans!
After we left we headed home via the chippie.
Stingy or what?

Posh? rofl!
I've been in that Tesco near you and seen someone in there in their pj's. The place was a sea of tracksuits!

Mrs. Overall, you are like a breath of fresh air and always make me smile.

I would have left 2 beans and said 'don't want to offend you, but I am full'. lol lol

My husband has suggested that she may not have been able to afford more than that, and that you should be grateful for what she did give you

[mrs_overall]

Hmmmm.....nice house, her & her husband have good jobs, she drives a BMW and they have a holiday home abroad. Of course I should have realised she couldn't afford to give us moer. How thoughtless of me ;-)

once went to meet hubby's cousin for the first time, it was a three hour drive, his wife was at work so just the three of us for lunch. He opened a whole tin of tomato soup added water and divided it between three of us ! no bread nothing else that's all we got ! we stopped at the first pub we saw serving food on the way home.
