You went to your friend house and had meal. Write a letter to your friend thanking him and his family for the meal. 1) Tell what you enjoyed about the meal. 2) Thanks to his parents and what you think about them 3) suggest arrangements for his invite at your place.

Dear Joel, I would like to thank you and your family for the kind invitation. I really enjoyed the home-cooked food
that is
prepared by your mother,
moreover
, I couldn't express enough how much I have been missing those meals for a long time.
First
of all, I like the chicken soup
that is
not only so delicious but
also
similar to my mother's cooking. I tried to cook them myself but I failed despite many attempts. Since those dishes can not be bought outside at any other shops, that was indeed a very precious meal for me which made my day.
Besides
, your parents always treat me very well, like their own child.
Therefore
, I can not express more how thankful I am to them for their warm hosting. If I remember correctly, they even gifted the local food for me
last
year when you returned from your vacation. I would like to send my regards to them at the same time.
Finally
, I would like to invite you and your parents to visit my home for dinner
this
weekend since my parents are visiting us with the local goodies. I can't wait to introduce them and enjoy the meal together. Best Regards, John
