Ethnic food is a warm gesture

Does the weather we've been having lately mean winter is here to stay a while? I think so, don't you? I'm assuming some of us have friends who are in warmer climates this time of year, and when they contact you, they tell you the temperature. Do you want to say, “Let's change the subject?” I do. I have to say though that they do invite me to visit them. So far I've had two invitations to Florida and one to California. Florida sounds more inviting with the crazy weather California is having, but unfortunately, a vacation at this time is not on my list of things to do.
