Celebration

A few of us at work went out to lunch today for Russian food. It's surprisingly like normal food.

The occasion was a going-away lunch for someone at work. The rumor reached us that this person, who is not in our group but who we need to work with quite a bit and who makes our lives...challenging, may be leaving. So we didn't invite the person to lunch. We just went out to celebrate.

The food was great. I had a galumka (that's the Hungarian name--I don't know the Russian name) and a potato pancake with mushrooms and some mushroom soup (I didn't have borsht, because I don't do beets). Wonderful! And the person, who hasn't gone away yet, wasn't there but was celebrated.

Fresh air. Sunshine. Sour cream. It doesn't get much better than that.
