Actually, it does! More than the food itself, its important to enjoy the company of those with whom you're eating. I ALWAYS do that with you and Mr. Babe.

My dinners with the guys and gals from these boards are among the most memorable meals I've had for that very reason. Even when the food hasn't been good (Somerset, for example) I've enjoyed the meals immensely. (As a matter of fact, that Somerset meal MAY have been the best ).
