What's a good way to thank your friends for doing something special for you? Even though it... wasn't really a big deal, it just meant a lot, but... anyway.

[ PRIVATE TO MATT ]

While I appreciate what you did, I stlll have a bone to pick with you, Murdock.

That might work... my cooking probably won't kill them...

Nah, I'll just say thanks with an allergic reaction! I should check with them first.

Oh?

[voice/private] bedeviledspider August 10 2010, 17:30:06 UTC

You didn't tell me you were bringing her.

[voice/private] mansansfear August 10 2010, 23:44:26 UTC

Is that a problem?

[voice/private] bedeviledspider August 11 2010, 00:46:05 UTC

If you're going to start making smart comments about family? Maybe.

For starters, saying something like that? Always good.

Secondly, if you intend to offer anything, try to make it something unique to you. Good at painting? Ask them if they'd like one. Good cook? Whip 'em up a nice lunch (or brunch, I've always found those to be more friendly in atmosphere). That sort of thing.

[voice] bedeviledspider August 10 2010, 18:52:42 UTC

It is? I'll try to remember that. Thanks!

If I could paint... but cooking seems to be a popular suggestion and I'm "okay" at it, so I guess that would be all right-- any brunch suggestions?

fishnets August 10 2010, 18:56:48 UTC

It doesn't have to be eloquent. The less planned, the more genuine. In my opinion, that's the best "thank you," you can receive.

Brunch food tends to be a little easier to cope with. Scones can be a bit of an ordeal, but they're really delicious. If you can pull off omelets, they're relatively easy, not too fancy, and are familiar. Just make what you're comfortable with.

bedeviledspider August 10 2010, 20:09:24 UTC

Hmmmm. I guess you're right.

Scones are a little out of my league, and beyond what's in my pantry. Omelets might be doable, though.

You can always send a card.

[ There's a long pause before he speaks up again, sounding a little too casual. ] I don't know. It seems a little impersonal.

voice osreborn August 11 2010, 04:41:11 UTC

Hardly. Although I suppose there are always flowers instead.

voice bedeviledspider August 11 2010, 06:56:31 UTC

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think either of my friends are big on flowers.

I hear pancakes are good. Or chocolate.

[Voice] bedeviledspider August 10 2010, 22:05:20 UTC

Noted.

I could try chocolate chip pancakes. The odds are good that I'll burn them, but it's worth a shot.

[Voice] secondhandwebs August 10 2010, 22:06:36 UTC

It's the thought that counts.

[Voice] bedeviledspider August 10 2010, 22:28:43 UTC

So you won't mind if I serve up terrible, burnt pancakesque creations, then?

That's kind of you.
