Don't say...you have to stay home on Boxing Day !
I suddenly realised we hadn't told them my friend is an International Food Critic.
At lunch time today I took an old female friend to my favourite Chinese restaurant to try some amazing bar-b-qued Moreton Bay bugs. We were given priority seating with the owners (a mother and daughter) who are also very very good friend's of mine - we made conversation as we savoured the delicious bugs.
My Food Critic Friend commented articulately on the spices, the process of sourcing the bugs, their freshness and complimented the owners on their management style. It was at this point that I thought it would be unfair if the owners did not know my friend's occupation.
You should have seen the banquet that we were then promptly served - all for free and by far the best Chinese food I have ever had.
It was a pity when I was distracted by the noise of the blinds hitting the window frame in our bedroom...and I woke up.
