Last evening I spent time with my good friend Debra...we sipped wine and shared small plates at Magpie Cafe...I hadn't seen her in months...she had been traveling throughout Spain...so we had much to talk about...although now that I think about it, we talked more about plans for future trips than we talked about past travels...
When she excused herself to use the restroom, our waiter leaned over the countertop toward me...in a lowered voice he asked if Debra and I had known each other for a long time...I replied that we had...about thirty years...
As I said it, I realized he was probably in his late twenties...I had known my friend longer than he had been alive...
He seemed quite pleased with my answer so I asked him what had made him want to know...and he replied "you two seemed to have that old friend vibe going":...
Yes, I guess we did...and if I'm very lucky it's a friendship that will last my lifetime...
Pork belly at Magpie Cafe...perfectly cooked with just the right hint of ginger in the sauce...this iPhone photo hardly does it justice...
