I was sitting around with some of my classmates today at lunch.
One of them was telling us how his mother keeps on sending him to Hamilton with tupperwares and tupperwares full of food. He said he couldn't keep up, and had resorted to throwing food out, because there was simply too much of it.
I was very jealous, since I've been eating take out for the past few weeks, since I have no home cooked goodies. (I would cook, but the place I'm renting doesn't have a kitchen...)
Anyways, the guys said I shouldn't take the lack of homecooking to mean that my parents don't care. After all, their parents live in the GTA, whereas mine are several hours further away, making the prospect of regularly giving me tupperwares upon tupperwares of food an unfeasible proposition.
We then asked our other classmate where his parents live, since he didn't have homecooking either.
It turns out his parents live in Vietnam. He fled Vietnam in a boat when he was 16.
So yes, I'm a big softie whiner.

I have tupperwares upon tupperwares of food! Hmm, they're actually in tofu boxes... same deal. Maybe your classmate could freeze them. That's what I do! Or maybe he can have a big party and invite everyone over to eat =)
I agree with you. Food party idea gets two thumbs up!
