A Friendly Feast

A feast!

Where has biryani been all my life? It’s DELICIOUS, a wonderful blend of rice, chicken, spices, nuts. 

I haven’t eaten much Indian food. Samosas… Anything else? Nope. That pretty much sums it up. And now, biryani. I wonder if there’s an Indian restaurant nearby?

What a sweet family! And I couldn’t even offer them a seat. Well, I did offer Mrs. Patel my one barstool, but she pretended not to hear. How embarrassing!

It was nice, though, that they all came inside. They just stood around chatting in my nearly empty house as if it were the normal way of things.

I probably should’ve kept that old couch. But it was ugly. Worse, it was a reminder of an ugly time. I didn’t want to bring furniture from the apartment into my new home.

My furniture budget isn't going to stretch as far as I'd hoped it would. 

That's okay. I can start small. But what first? What style?

I don't have a style!

Modern Farmhouse is beautiful and still very popular. Isn't it?

But I’m not a very modern sort of girl.
