Bill had been wandering between towns and faires for a few days and truly hadn't met or seen anything that has tricked his mind, so he decided to visit an old friend. The idea was to rest a little, over a nice chat about the  old days. When he was about to knock on the door, the door was opened and his friend stood there. Bill must have had a puzzled look on his face as his friend quickly explained that he was on his way out to a Dinner Party. He told Billto come along and that the hosts wouldn't mind, they would actually be happy to put another plate on the table and hurled Bill in the right direction. Bill wasn't so sure, who would host a private dinner party and want an intruder? So he told his friend that he would just meet him later, that made his friend stop and almost shout NO. They would be so disappointed if they knew that he hadn't brought his friend and he did not want to disappoint them, he lived for their dinner parties and was so not going to come on their bad side. Not that he thought they had any but it had taken him some time to get in, so he wasn't going to risk it, and again hurled Bill on as he started to explain that his friends loved to cook with big L, even so much that if they were invited to dinner parties they would volunteer to bring the food! And their food was heavenly and that he suspected that many invited them to dinner parties just so they could get a taste of their food, he sure had once and of course said yes that they could bring the food. Before Bill knew it they had arrived and his friend knocked,  a friendly face opened and it actually shined when his friend introduced him and welcomed him inside. With curiosityBill looked around, it was a modest home and he saw the Dinner table and thought that his friend must have lost his mind, the food looked just like normal food, nothing exaggerated or fancy just like normal home cooked food! They sat down and trays of food were handed back and forward. Bill took a mouthful and his mouth exploded! He found the richness of the ingredients mixed with something he didn't know and his taste buds were going crazy. After swallowing he looked around and saw the same satisfied looks on other guests faces and when he looked at the food his mouth started to water, he wanted more and found himself thinking of a way to be invited again. After Dinner they mingled and he looked for the hosts and found Lauren Porridge and complemented her on the food. She instantly started to glow and talk about spices and cooking methods but she had lost Bill on the first sentence, his mind was gone to MV. Later he found out that Lauren worked in school cafeteria and that Cuthbert worked as a manager in a store.

Few days later there was a knock on the door of the Porridge homestead and when they opened to their surprise Bill was standing there, they invited him inside wondering what he wanted? He had this amazing offer for them, to open a Restaurant in his growing village, he said that the offer included a small cottage above the restaurant. He told them about his village and if they wanted he could take them there to have a look? When he was getting ready to leave he gave them a telephone number so they could reach him, they thought the instructions with the number were little odd, that they would call and leave a message and then he would call them back!  Before he walked out the door Lauren and Cuthbert looked at each other, then they both smiled and told him that it wouldn't be necessary, they were going to accept his offer.
