Top of the Blog: MIKES APARTMENT Halfway through the movie Ellen called us for dinner. She had cooked for us and made another amazing meal. There was a salad of tossed greens with a red wine vinaigrette. After that we had a main course of sweet and sour chicken, steamed rice, and vegetables. She even made a quick tray of brownies that were done just as we finished eating. We ate them still warm from the oven. Throughout the meal Jessica sat so close to me on the opposite side of the table from her mother that she was practically in my lap.
