Ordinarily, I would be inclined to agree with the TANSTAAFL principle.

Today, however, I am eating Pollo Porcini Canneloni, with bread and salad – brought in from Ottavio’s for a meeting. One that I am not party to, even. But Mindy came by, asked whether or not I had eaten and told me to have at it.

And I did. And it was tasty.
