Last night was truly special, a one on one with Cora Oriel my very good hearted, warm, supportive, caring, loving long-time friend.

She is a community leader/publisher of Asian Journal – a newspaper of 33 years delivering truthful, positive news, a positive force for good. We tried this new restaurant referred by another friend. It was so yummy. I noticed the crowd was young, eclectic, funky folks – with all kinds of earrings, bodies tattooed, and boy does she know what to order, she said she comes several times a week. I glanced at her table with little gem salad, wagyu steak and hummus with freshly baked, piping hot flat bread.

Ours was too sumptuous and generous: cauliflower, Mac and cheese, two kinds of hummus, corn ribs, branzino and so so delicious porkchop marinated in lime and fish sauce. And to end it with peach on a pavlova meringue boat. Oh so so nice – to talk about parenting, family, community building, music, high quality loving marriage, God’s miracles. So blessed to have this positive experience and to be sang Happy Birthday to in Korean. Kamsamidah! Thank you so much for this royal treatment, Cora!
