Friends part 1

This past weekend, we took out a friend of mine.  We taught together about 11 years ago in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for a year.  We had a great year together.  We suffered through Russian classes together, taught English classes, caught a lot of cheaters, and ate our share of lipioshka.  Almost every morning we would walk to the back field and buy a stack of lipioshka then slather it with fresh raspberry jam. 


This is how lipioshka is made...in a brick/clay oven.  Dough is shaped and then thrown on the inside roof of the oven.

I think together we consumed the countries supply of Lions bar. Have you had a Lion bar lately? It's a caramel, crunchy bet yet chewy, nutty bar of goodness!!!  See how everything always goes back to food for me :)


She decided to go abroad to teach English again.  I guess teaching at USC wasn't exciting enough.  Some of us took  her out for brunch and coffee. 

Dutch Apple! YUmmmmm :)


Then off to the Ritz for coffee.  


Flowers in the lobby do not disappoint.




Coffee, tea, desserts, and fries!
