I'm fighting sleep right now so that I can complete a blog entry for the day.
Just had lunch with a good friend of mine.
I bought a bunch of stuff from Trader Joe's for our meal.
My bf took a break from his photography stuff and joined us as well.

treated like a queen
I'm a little tired still from the crazy cramping yesterday.
Last night I fell asleep on our friends' living room floor after dinner.
My body was so exhausted from being in pain all day long.

Dinner was great, though. Our friend had a small number of us
over for a mini house warming.
they have a cute town house with lots of room.
We were treated to a lovely, semi-formal table set-up complete
with china salad plates, dinner plates and serving plates.
We felt special.

They served us several delicious dishes:
- a green salad with mandarine oranges and candied almonds for starters
- grilled yellow and red peppers (simply delicious!)
- steamed asparagus
- a pasta salad with penne pasta, spinach leaves, grape tomatoes, shitake mushrooms
red onions cooked with chicken broth and parmesan-reggiano cheese
- and the main course: steamed black bass in soy sauce, ginger and green onions + a juicy flank steak

and for dessert, we had ice cream sundaes complete with whipped cream,
crumbled oreo cookies, chopped nuts and cherries on top.

All of us felt so special....our hosts were so awesome!
