On a Sunday Afternoon

A few things were missing: the sandy beach outside and my man.

Otherwise, I don't know how a girl got to be so lucky on a slow, loungy afternoon:

• Old friends around the table + a yearbook from 1995 = lots of teasing = lots of laughs
  
• An extensive spread of high quality food. You name it. Foie gras? Peking duck? Oyster bar? Noodle bar? Dessert table? Pastries? Omelette? Pasta?
  
• Bottomless coffee and champagne. Kid you not
  
• A Jazz band (with an upright bass. Oh man)
• A chocolate fountain
• The best orange juice in town (right, E?)
• The non-smoking section (so rare in Jakarta!)
  
• Sudoku
• All for free (for I have generous friends)

We all need a break from being busy, or wise, or proper; from life as usual, just for a few hours. I highly recommend the above recipe.
