At the end of a dreadful week full of ups, downs and sideways moves, an escape to shop at a Winners/Homesense store in downtown Vancouver, rounded off with a solitary dinner at Milestones . . . was awesome!
My gluten free meal included:
Jackson Triggs white chardonay wine (glass)
Tomato Basil Brown Rice Spaghettini - Fresh grape tomatoes sauteed in olive oil, with plenty of fresh spinach,basil and garlic. Tossed with brown rice spaghettini noodles and topped with goat cheese (subsituted parmesan for the goat cheese.)
Chocolate Ganache Torte - Crushed pecan pastry with chocolate filling and a carmel sauce.
Black coffee.
All around me were laughing, happy people. Drinking, eating and sharing good times. A huge party was gathering in the back room, directly ahead of my table. There were at least 8 ladies who arrived from work - all dressed up and professional, then the men started to come in and drinks started to flow. It was all very uptownish!
The rain was pouring down outside and the traffic was light. The city was moving all around me and I felt great! This was definitely one of those perfect moments when all the stars were aligned and things couldn't be better.
I even called Dianne to share my moment and probably made her feel awful - but I was almost euphoric. Just sit back and let the vibes come your way . . .
