a great meal

i recently read that the difference between a good meal and a great meal is an hour and a half.

mary and i were powerfully reminded of that thursday nite after our three-hour dinner with eric and danna at cafe pacific. how refreshing it was to enjoy first-class food and world-class conversation at a leisurely pace. it served as a sharp and most welcome contrast to our day, our week, our lives of rushing and busy-ness.

and a testament to the benefits of slow eating, savoring the flavors and the spirits of an evening not soon forgotten.

a great meal, indeed.
