You have heard plenty about my family. I have gone into great detail about the
ins and outs of our daily lives, jokes, habits, and all of the weird parts of
our personalities. But I realized
that I have yet to talk about my friends.
Now, my friends and I have our own set of strange habits and common
interests, but I think that we first bonded over sushi. I have never met any people who are
more willing to go out of their way to find good sushi than my friends. We often go to Sushi House twice in one
weekend, and it seriously would not surprise me if the waiters there recognized
us. We should win some sort of
award for best customers. Except I
think that they secretly hate us because we always ask for separate checks, and
there are always complications when that happens.
The next thing that we all love is The Lord of the Rings. I
know, many of you are judging me from your computer, but when it comes to epic
trilogies, The Lord of the Rings cannot be beaten. It has it all: quaint villages,
wizards, made-up languages, good-looking elves, gigantic elephants, and a
rockin’ good soundtrack. We all
love and frequently quote the movies, although I admit I have not read the
books. But recently, when we were
watching The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring, the movie sparked a new conversation: Hunks and
Tarts.
This is a conversation that we have been having for weeks
now, and it began when we were studying the food that the hobbits eat. They have the most delicious looking
tarts! So we were all saying that tarts are the best foods, when one of my
friends pointed out that tarts come second only to hunks. No, I am not talking about attractive
muscular men. I am talking about
large, rustic-looking pieces of food on a giant wood table. A good hunk of homemade bread, or a
nice hunk of meat sitting next to a plate of fresh fruit, most enjoyed when the
person eating is surrounded by or wearing furs. I know this sounds weird, and I do not support wearing
animal furs, but picture a feast in a pirate movie. Take Pirates of the Caribbean, for example. They sit
down to a table covered in hunks of good, hearty-looking food. And I don’t even like meat!
Hunks and Tarts also reminds me of our latest project: the
Supper Club. Two of my friends
planned a back-to-school dinner party, and they cooked us a delicious Italian
meal. So we thought, why not do
this every month? We decided to
pair up and each group would make a themed meal for everyone at the end of the
month. We are doing Indian food,
breakfast, and, of course, hunks and tarts.
What would I be without my friends? They are the best, and they are always
here for me. So when I want to get
them a great gift for their birthdays or the holidays, I know what all of them
will love: a tote bag! When you
want to treat your friends and show them that you care about them, you know
what you can do for them. Give
them the gift that they can carry and that they will love, a great bag with
plenty of room for hunks and tarts.
