Dinner with old friends (and new)

[randy_byers]

Denys and I went over to janeehawkins' house last night for dinner with her and her housemate, Amy, whom I had never met before. Jane made Peking duck, because Amy had found a duck at the farmers market. It was delicious, served with Hoisin sauce and green onions. We yacked about Tea Party clowns and got the gory details on Jane's run-in with a deer on a West Texas highway. Which I suppose was an appropriate follow-up to Denys' gory stories of his days working in the Kidney Center. Amy served Fainting Goat ice cream made from goat's milk and pine tar, which was beautiful, and hey, didn't we all fell a bit faint by then?

A lovely evening with two lovely ladies, and a nice break from the routine for two old boys.

I thought Amy was a vegetarian. This sounds like a great evening. Glad that Jane's reaching out again.

Perhaps Amy considers duck a vegetable. She was certainly enthusiastic about the taste and mentioned having eaten duck before.
