Last night we all joined Caroline in a continuation of the Birthday celebrations bear in mind we started on Thursday evening, and spent all day group e-mailing each other about who had the biggest hangover, brain, etc.... All of us barely getting work done. There was one person whom I'll call 'Richie Rich' on the email thread , who was kicking himself that he missed out on the highjinks.But I digress... So we went to Le Sardine and were quite tame with the alcohol consumption, and more focused on the food. Gabi and Nicolette had rabbit, 'Richie Rich', the garangutan lamb shank,steak et frites for Racklesh and Caro, and a cuisse de canard pour moi. And I got my fix of seared foie gras, before the City of Chicago bans it (politicians should stay out of food matters). We all finished of with brandies, liquors, espressos, chocolate and blueberry souffles. I'm sure I gained 20 lbs.
After we ate I went around snapping photos, but my camera went out due to low batteries. Caros friend immediatley whipped out two AA batteries. I made a joke about her needing it for her 'Personal appliance ' later on. With no embarrassment she admitted that was what they for,and she'd like them back when we were done. Needless to say at the end of the evening ,she went on her way, and we went onto another venue. All of us , I'm sure, had a satisfactory night. Nudge, Nudge, wink, wink...
Amazing how much of the world revolves around a battery.... and how important they are if you are going to have any fun at all ..... and as a battery technician I should have been there to make sure your friend put them back properly in her [um] device. Nasty accidents can happen if they are not inserted correctly.
