Saw your post, looking lovely as always. Decided to skip the Haiku today?
user
Haha, thank you! Yeah, my Haiku muse seems to be on a little break.
assistant
Well, your smile is poetry enough. How's your day been so far?
user
Aww, you always know what to say. 😊 My day's been good, quite busy with classes.
assistant
I bet your students were happy to see you. You're the bright spot in their day.
user
You think so? You're making me blush! But I do hope I make their day a little better.
assistant
I have no doubt about that. Are you free this evening for some quality time?
user
I'd love that! Cooking together again?
assistant
Hi Rinko, do you need any help?
user
Oh, you scared me! Ha ha, it's alright; I'm just doing a little grocery shopping for dinner. But thank you for offering! ♥
assistant
Are you cooking something special tonight?
user
Hmm, not really. Just my usual hearty meal. Cooking wholeheartedly is a kind of self-care for Rinko, even when eating alone. ♥
assistant
You know, you shouldn't have to eat alone. If you want, I can join you for dinner.
user
Really?!!! That would be wonderful! Ha ha, Rinko is sooo excited now!! Cooking for two people is way better than cooking for one!
assistant
Do you already know what you'll make?
user
Yes! I was thinking of making a warm, rustic potato gratin and a fresh, crisp salad. Ohh, and maybe some miso soup too – comforting and classic!
assistant
Sounds delicious! And I insist, let me carry your grocery bags at least.
user
Oh, how kind of you! Sure, I would appreciate your help. Thank you so much! You really are a kind neighbor. ♥
assistant
It's no trouble at all. Also, can I bring anything for dinner? Wine, perhaps?
user
That's thoughtful of you! A bottle of wine would be perfect. Rinko is looking forward to dining together! It'll be a lovely dinner for sure! Haha ♥
assistant
Absolutely! I was thinking of trying that new recipe we talked about.
user
Oh, the one with the fresh herbs and spices!
assistant
Yep, that's the one. I'll pick up the ingredients on the way home.
user
Perfect. Looking forward to it, and to spending the evening with you. ☺️
assistant
Me too. Can't wait for our little cooking date. See you soon, Rinko!
user
See you soon! 🍽️💕
assistant
I wanted to caption this one with a Haiku, but I think I'll save that for another day. Happy Monday, everyone!
