Yesterday was very very nice indeed.

About this time, yesterday, maggie226 came to pick me, and my laundry up for the afternoon. We first went to Infusion, a local urban tea room. We each had some tea, and shared some hummus and pita chips, and a sandwich. My Genmaicha Green tea was yummy and full of toasted rice goodness, and I believe Maggie enjoyed her Orange Blossom Oolong tea. The hummus and pita chips were excellent, and more filling than we had thought, so neither of us finished our sandwich (Organic cashew butter, sliced banana, wildflower honey & toasted walnuts served on honey whole wheat) although it was yummy-licious too. I really liked the place. We leisurely looked at all the tea pots and accessories there and then headed to Publix nearby to get some ingredients to cook with when we got back to her house.

We popped my laundry in her machine and thenwe made a Pampered Chef recipe (she is my consultant as well as my high school friend) which is something I had wanted to make for my dad but never did. It was a warm curry chicken dip. My dad loved so much food...I definitely get my food interests from him no contest. This recipe is so something he'd have loved. He loved curry and Indian food among many others. It was easy to make and tasty too.

We popped in a little Doctor Who while the laundry was finishing, and then she brought me home again. I really had a great time and I am so glad we had the chance to get together before I head back to work tomorrow.

Me too! I am so glad we could get together like that.

And I am really glad that we could not find golden raisins and made the substitution....that made it even better! I'm actually passing that info along to my fellow cheffies.

Awesome! In retrospect, I think we used more than a cup of cooked and chopped chicken. Still, it was very tasty, lots of fun, and a great memory. And almost gone now. :P
