One of the great things about having a terrific crew paint the exterior of our house was that I got to cook for them. These guys put their hearts in to our job which lasted almost 2 weeks, and when I was home, I loved showing my appreciation by preparing something good for their lunch. One day it was a homemade chicken vegetable soup with everything but the kitchen sink. The next day that soup was even better after all the flavors had melded together and when served with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with canned jalepenos. When the weather turned warm, something that doesn’t happen very often in SF, I served a composed salad of romaine, tuna, avocado, hard boiled egg, carrots, pickled beets and red onion, radish slices, tomatoes, cucumber, olives and 1000 island dressing. We even celebrated Daniel’s birthday one day with a small ice cream sundae for dessert. I was touched when their phones were brought out to take pictures of our meals for sending to their families and friends, and the job they did on our house was stupendous!
