Today I met a friend.
I can count on one hand how many amazing girlfriends
I have, the kindred spirit kind. The ones that know that
friendship is a two way street and not one, with you doing all the work.
The ones even if you cant see everyday they still call to say
how are you, and I miss you. Diana has been sick In the hospital
so we decided to go for a quick lunch at X2O on the Hudson.
a quick lunch soon turned into 3 hours of laughing and talking...
She's so dear and pure of heart. She wrote this blog post
about your little date, it's perfect.
NEW FRIENDSHIPS ARE BEST SERVED WITH GREAT FOOD!
Well, in my line of work, you never know who you would come across. I have met weird people, crazy people, lonely people and most of it genuine people. Today I met Bethy Blue Bonnet, lol! a great person who reminded me of my girlfriends whom I missed oh dearly so! I have forgotten how nice it felt to just have a girlfriend to talk about random stuff. So random that you don't talk about these things to your own husband. A girl thing I would call it. I forgotten how alive it made me feel. I forgotten how much I've missed it. I forgotten how it could take hours just talking over random stuff with great food to accompany the dirty talks.
Today, we spoke about our hearts , our ideas of fun, our travels, things we would love to buy or do, bitches we hated and losers who lost our friendship, all over some Coconut Shrimp, Sirloin Steak and Flan Cream w/fresh fruits. if i had not stopped consuming alcohol, we probably would have finished a whole bottle of red wine…lol! As for Ms Bethy Blue Bonnet, She had some warm Butternut Squash Bisque, Grilled Salmon over Orzo and a whipped cream strawberry parfait.
We of course finish it off with a few laughs and a side serving of coffee. I could drink coffee all day but after all that food, i was stuffed..
I always believed, when having conversations with great food, great friendships and relationships are formed. I have personally met strangers over food and we are still great friends up to now. Food is a universal language everyone shared but not everyone could understand the chemistry of explosive details in your mouth from the food. Only selected people would understand that relationship.
To some people, food is just to fill the stomach. But for people like us, food, GOOD GREAT FOOD, is love, its a connection, an art, its comfort, its happiness, its life…
i think today is a great day! a great day for a new friendship with Ms Bethy Blue Bonnet.
The next time we go out, I'm going to introduce Ms Bethy Blue Bonnet to this Irish Restaurant near the Bronx that have the best melting steak served with seafood over rich creamy savory gravy that's to die for. So that's another story for another blog…=)
xoxo
