One of my best friends came to town to visit
me and another friend;
we're all Orthodox and met in University
a good 8 years or more ago
and it was so good to be with both of them
together...
Had dinner for my friend and some other friends
from church
for the Feast of the Transfiguration
this past Friday.
Fresh Salmon with lemon and onion
a Basmati and a black mahogany rice in separate bowls
grapes from the feast
salad
pickled red peppers
an amazing vegan chocolate truffle like dessert
with cherries
and some Turkish Delight.
A nice white wine
and lemon water...
It was a lovely time.

This week will be very full
with finishing up my contract
and doing errands.
*
Am hoping to go to the Greek monastery this Saturday
if it works out with my friend.
*
Dormition on Sunday
and I start my new job next Monday,
right after Dormition...
*
So that's what's new with me,
what's new with you?

Sounds wonderful, the visit and the dinner! Visits with good friends really touch the heart. Praying for you as you prepare for your job on Monday. I know it will be tough transitioning back to a full work week, but it will also bring you much relief I'm sure. :) love to you!
I too, will be thinking of you as you transition to working full time.
Always wonderful to be surrounded by friends. And of course, I never tire of viewing your dinner pictures. Lovely.
