About catching up...

Tonight, I met a dear friend and her husband after a very long time....it's amazing how telepathy works (freaky enough - turns out we had thought about each other around the same time yesterday!) and how easily we just picked up from where we'd left off the last time we'd met. As we chatted away about how much our lives had changed since we last met (we've both relocated to different states, started new jobs, explored new aspects of life) and discussed travels, books, families, relationships, b-school, and a gazillion other topics, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the people in my life that I call 'friends' - old and new, in the Bay and away. Those are the people with whom lulls in conversation are not awkward, silence is acceptable, there is no scourging around for topics to make PC, and odd questions or opinions are not taken personally.

And so, in keeping with my tendency to associate most moments with food, today's list is about great meals with some of these amazing people this weekend :)
1. Lemongrass noodles with grilled prawns
2. Hawaiian Pancakes with Coconut, Bananas, and Macadamia Nuts
3. Baked Salmon with Spinach and Steamed Veggies
