<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><em>~ Mari at the dinner table ~</em><br/><br/>When the food was brought out, Marisol felt like a little kid; her eyes were wide and they were zeroed in on her dish. Once the food was placed before she, she looked around the table. She grinned when Mila admitted to her lack of cooking and then chuckled as Nicci quickly came to her rescue. Those two were an item already - a bond forged in just a few hours. With a soft laugh, she admitted, "I can cook...and being one of the oldest I was often doing clean up duty." She laughed gently, adding a bit teasingly, "By force most of the time."<br/><br/>She took a bite of her food and almost moaned out loud. The food was phenomenal. She wondered if the group would like some of her Puertorican dishes. She hoped so...they were her favorite to make.<br/><br/>At Nicci's comment about a 'Toad in the Hole', Mari paused and arched an eyebrow at Nicci, laughing, "Should I be worried about toads running loose in the kitchen, Nicci?" She winked to show she was teasing. When she heard Marcus' statement, she couldn't help the burst of laughter, her eyes sparkling with pleasure.<br/><br/>Oh she was already enjoying this dinner so much! </span>
