Dinner with Debbie and Rick

Burlington April 13

We finally made it over to Debbie and Rick's place. It was one of the first really nice spring days. Our original intention was to walk around the area, but we opted for beer and snacks on the porch.

After a few hours on the porch, we went inside for a vegan dinner. It was a combination of oats, seaweed, humus and nuts. I had trouble with some parts of it and paid for it later with a bloated and upset stomach  Everyone else seemed to really like it.

I brought deserts (tarts and melon). We ate some of the tarts, but forgot the melon.

We listened to the harp, piano talked shop and so on.

Debbie was really talkative. We talked about how disappointed she was with both her mother and father. I hope the conversation was cathartic for her. The others seemed to hold their liquor better.

Jeremy smoked 3 spliffs while on the porch. I was concerned about his ability to drive, but he managed OK.

All in all it was a wonderful day. Something I hope we will not wait 10 years to do again.
