Food Unites...

Cousins (first Auntie's two kids) drove up from LA on Saturday; stayed one night and headed back Sunday. They were here to visit Mom and they really pumped her spirits up.

It was a short visit but we felt that we got to know them (and they us) so much more than all the times that we have known each other. They were already pre-teens when we were just babies. So we never got to play with them.

This was probably the first time that we got to catch up like adults and we drank it up too! We started with red wine, then a little sip of limoncello that Sue made - fortified with a little bit more vodka, then moved on to tequila into the wee hours... sounds boozing, doesn't it? But we were good, very baby sips... more to accompaning the chatting than the other way around. So no one was drunk or had a hangover. We were such good kids!!!

We found that we all liked breakfast, black coffee and nice wines and we all got so excited talking about food. What a wonderful way to reconnect!

So before they went home, I took them to Kingfish where people "EAT LIKE A KING, DRINK LIKE A FISH".

Yes, this is exactly how we should enjoy our lives.
