"Dinner with a Friend"

Is there anything better than dinner with a friend?  One that you have known for years, that no matter what the conversation is about from food to movies it is the most intriguing topic at the moment.  I love it!  I have to admit that I have a favorite dinner friend.  This friend is in love with food.  The way she studies the menu and picks out the smallest detail before making the decision "I'm gonna try that!"  You can tell right away if it is a hit or not just by the expression on her face.  As we eat, the conversation drifts and flows to various topics.  Each as interesting as the next.  The smiles, the laughs, what a break from the stresses of the world.  I could go on listening all night long, but alas, its getting late.  It is tough for me to say goodbye, but worth the wait for the next opportunity to share dinner with a friend.
