I had an impromptu lunch with some friends yesterday. We usually get together before our kids break for Christmas but didn't manage to pull it off this year.

Sometimes the unexpected feast is the best. We created a little tapas of carrot cumin soup, sweet potato fries and tuna bites. There was a lot of catching up to do.

Some of us don't like to have their pictures taken. Note that she's still managing to get the soup to her mouth. Nice defensive move.

Was it worth it? Yeah, I'd say so!
