Only ever so often, you have true wonderful friends that enter your life. Our friend Mike and his lovely wife Elissa (and adorable daughter Edie!) are a perfect example of that. They are hilarious, fun and dependable (not only did they help us paint the clinic but came with homemade tiramisu!!). More importantly, you can just tell that these two love life and share that energy with everyone surrounding them.
We are most thankful to them for constantly inspiring us to enjoy food! Whether they have just come back from honeymooning in Morocco or from the local fish market, they are always trying new foods and recipes and prepare the most authentic and delicious dishes for their friends to enjoy. When it’s tempting to go eat out at a restaurant after work for convenience, we talk about Mike’s pasta that he whipped up for us in less than 10min while Elissa grabbed a handful of fresh sage from their garden to complete the dish. Thanks Mike and Elissa for keeping up inspired to eat fresh, delicious, hearty food!
Sniff, sniff. Touching words from some great friends. I have to admit that Mak and Aileen have been a great inspiration on us as well. How? Less cream butter sauces, more tangy salads on the side. Seeking ou the unsulphered dried fruits - much tastier than the sulphered ones. Also the occasional organic fruit and vegetable falls into our basket. Especially bananas which have a beautiful unique special. Thanks guys.
