movember

met a fellow who's very into gardening and cooking at a friends house a couple of weeks ago. he formed a supper club and tonight was our first meeting. the theme was northern italian and many courses. the first was arugula salad with arugula picked from his garden that day. i won't go through them all but suffice to say everything was delicious. even the sausage, which i'm not usually a fan of.

but more than just eating delicious food, it was fun to sit at a table of 12 strangers and rediscover my mingle a little bit. the nice thing about always having had (nearly) lifelong friends in austin is that you don't have to continually do all of that getting to know you chit chat. but now most of them have moved away so lately i've been doing a lot of hunting for new friends.. which is a lot harder than it seems like it would be. but tonight was fun and i was reminded that strangers aren't all bad and it doesn't take long before they start to feel like friends.

i have lots of pictures from this weekend but i'm too comfy in bed right now to go get my camera, so that will wait til tomorrow.
