What a great night. Some of my dearest ladies and I got together tonight. We needed a ladies night out and wanted to support some establishments that are honoring Breast Cancer Awareness this month. So, off we went ...
First up: John Howie's new restaurant in Bellevue. Not only was the place gorgeous, but they had created a signature drink (with the help of Colie) to honor the breast cancer cause. John Howie, himself, was there and came out of the kitchen to chat with us and take some pics. He was a doll and so, so gracious. It was such a treat to meet him. No pretensions, no attitude, no "hurry it up ... I've got better things to do, like yell at my minions." He took his time and chatted with all of us. Carrie told him that she'd like him to get hooked up with an interview on Q13, as they have been huge advocates of ours. He seemed very interested. So, if you're in Seattle, do visit one of his establishments ... and he owns many. The food is always fantastic and the staff is ALWAYS amazing. What a stellar man.
Then: off to Palomino. We visited this restaurant this very same time last year. They have their own signature "pink" drink there as well during the month of October. Last year we had a huge table reserved for the "Cancer Club." This year, we bum-rushed the bar. Just grabbed some booths as people were leaving. It was, again, an amazing night.
K-Dawg wasn't there with us tonight. It was surreal. She gave me my beautiful "two-bird" necklace last year when we made our first trip to Palomino. The same necklace that broke (as I slept) the night she died. Though she wasn't there, physically, I cannot help but believe that her sweet spirit was there the whole time. We all felt it.
