Lunch with Sam and Jonah Baker or The Caravan of Dreams-Adventures in Live Food while in a New York state of mind

We made a stop in New York City on our way back to warmer temps and met Sam and her boyfriend Jonah Baker. Meeting Sam for lunch is always an adventure. This time the place Sam choose for us to eat also served "live food". After eating "live" you might never want to go "dead" again. The food was fresh and delicious. I savored every bite and had to stop myself from saying yum yum yum with every single mouthful.

Dawn and I both had the "live" sampler which included a delicious vegetable lasagna, avocado, jicama, greens and fruits all heaped into a mound of lusciousness.

Sam looked lovely, happy and healthy and Jonah Baker seemed a very interesting sort of fellow. He designs websites to make ends meet and is working on his masters like Sam but is hoping to become a writer of comedy and satire. He is now writing a play about a cat messiah. If he becomes famous you heard it here first. OH one more interesting thing about Jonah...he is a finisher like Jeff. Jeff was squirming in his seat watching Jonah finish off Sam's rice with cilantro. I don't think Jonah realized at first he was trampling all over Jeff's territory.

The stop in New York was fun but brief. It was New Year's Day but all the stores were open and lots of people walking around. Of course whenever I am there I always wonder about everyone and where they work and were they live and how they got there and blah blah blah. Everything always seems so much more intense in the city.
