Someone else cooked for me!

Okay, maybe not just for me, other people were invited to eat, but I didn't really have to cook!  I almost didn't know what to do with myself.  Well, that's not entirely true, either - I had to hack off a pound of ground beef from a two-pound block I had frozen a while ago - but that was it.  A lovely girl named Akina did the rest.

The beef was for meat sauce - ground beef, bell pepper, onions, garlic with Prego tomato sauce over rigatoni.    The garlic bread was a gift from Kristin, who was trying to get rid of some pre-made garlic bread she had bought long ago.  This was perfect for tonight since I had class at 7 p.m., so having dinner already ready at 6 p.m. made my life that much easier.

I sort of ate out after, but I only treated my friend, Thomas, to an ice cream sandwich from Cream since he gave me his ticket to tomorrow's Cal/USC football game.  Sandwiches are $2 each, so I'm going to consider this one a freebie.  In all fairness, there's nothing quite like sharing the experience of eating a scoop of ice cream between two freshly-baked cookies.  Believe me.
