I love how food brings people together... You use going for drinks or dinner as an excuse to get together and visit with each other, spend time with people and of course eat.
Last night I had a fabulous dinner with Lulu. She used to live here in Beijing and comes every year for the ANZAC dinner at the Great Wall. She is so much fun to hang out and just a great friend. I may not stay in constant contact with her but when I see her all is good (that seems to be a theme with many of my good friends out there...). We had a great time despite the fact that those two mojitos that I had before dinner didn't agree with the half bottle of wine that went with dinner... But dinner was fab! Ceviche, scallops,risotto with fois gras and lobster TWICE - it was delish and at my favorite restaurant in Beijing. The company was great and so was the food...
Tonight is my final bookclub meeting. Every month 8 of us get together to discuss a book of our choice and have dinner. Dinner is always good and full of fun conversation. This will be the last one for this group of girls because half of us a leaving to new adventures. So it will be sad but fun to get together to just enjoy each others company...
So it is a little bittersweet couple of days, seeing old friends and saying goodbye to others... Good food, good company, and good wine always go hand in hand...
Yeah I skipped the workouts today...
