onefixedstarIn addition to the other stuff we did, MasseyPrincess and I spent the weekend trying unsuccessfully to get together with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thoughtfreely and 1_k0m0d0. Our lack of success culminated in an interesting conversation yesterday with thoughtfreely during which he said that in Newfoundland, among the people he knows, you don't invite people over for supper. Instead, you invite them over to visit, and sometimes food happens to get served while they're there. Apparently, however last minute and informal our dinner invitations are, they still come across laden with expectations about reciprocity and gifts of wine and bringing your visiting face. Since we expect none of those things, we'll have to work on a way to issue invitations that don't carry so much baggage. Because the guys totally missed a kickass pumpkin curry, and that's just wrong.
