Eating in a garden with friends again - this time in Switzerland.  At Katherine's with long time neighbor Erica Thiessen.  Katherine is a great cook and gardener and made a scrumptious salmon dinner with fresh green salad (the most nutritious of all foods) that included "mangetous" which I think were snap peas and endive which we ate a lot when we lived here.  Of course we had wine, rosé this evening.

Of course what was MOST important in this meal was the FRIENDSHIPS.  Jim, and Erica's partner Marco, and Katherine's son Tom (whom we knew as a newborn and is now 26) shared good feelings in an evening of conversation catching up.  Though the last time we were here was four years ago, we didn't skip a beat.  This kind of nourishment is called "Primary Food" by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I earned my counseling certification.
