Girls Night!

My girl friend, Amy, I went went to Shecky's Girls Night Out a few
nights ago and had a fabulous time. Haven't been? Well, it's a shopping event
that happens twice a year in DC. Think: Brightly colored cocktails served by
cute bartenders, rows of vendors selling beautiful jewelry, bags and other
tempting accessories, and a goody bag full of every product sample you can
possibly think of! Shopping and cocktails... oh boy! It's trouble, let me tell you!

Afterwards, Amy and I made an impromptu trip to Equinox a few blocks away
for bite to eat. I was very impressed with our meal, which included a cauliflower-
curry soup with a crab pastry, grilled boneless pork over chanterelle mushrooms
with a squash puree and a panna cotta with apples and biscotti for desert. Oh, and
a big glass of chardonnay. Our server suggested the wine and it was spot-on.

Needless to say, it was a great night!
