Food Vs. Food

1:30- Lunchtime
Today, instead of taking a nap during lunch, I went to help out at the local  soup kitchen.  The soup kitchen is in a great location because it over looks the kotel and when you walk inside, it looks pretty nice and clean, almost like a restaurant.  Everyday, a different group of girls go to help out so today I went with my friends Rachel and Rachelle.  When we walked in, we went straight to the kitchen in the back to start helping out.  We put our bags down on the side and go to work.  First we put pots of soup on every table.  Then we made up plates with meat, potatoes, vegetables, and a plum.  The women were served first and then the men stood on line at the window to get their food.  After everyone was served, people were allowed to come back for seconds.  Everybody there seemed so grateful and wished us a happy new year.  It was a great way to spend my lunch and I'm looking forward to going again in two Mondays.

4:15- Break in between classes
My friend Melissa and I were hungry so we decided to go to the little store down the block called Sammi's to get something to eat.  I wanted to get wafers because we had meat for lunch and they were pareve.  We saw a bunch of different wafer flavors like lemon, coffee, and vanilla, but then we saw a big box of chocolate covered wafers and we knew that we had to get them.  We bought the box, brought it back with us, and when we looked inside, there were so many more wafers than we expected.  There were four packages inside of about 20 wafers each so we each had two packages.  We started eating wafers but then stopped after 5 or 6 because class was about to start.  Everyone started asking us for wafers but we didn't really want to give them any.  Then a bunch of things happened all at once.  Melissa and I started getting really hyper, our box of wafers was "stolen" and hidden from us, and class started.  Basically we were kinda going crazy which was lots of fun.  We eventually stopped ourselves from laughing, got through the class, and got our wafers back, and all was good... Until Melissa had control of the box and wouldn't give it to me until I gave her back her shoe, (yes, I stole her shoe, but that was only because she put her foot on my lap) but in the very end, everyone got back what was theirs and we were all happy.  Shalom V'lehitraot!

P.S. The answer to the title reference question was 'Friends'
