Kobe Jones

My good friend Evita is back from China for a month for the Christmas and New Year period. She's been working over there for almost 2 years now and last night reminded me how much I miss her.

We used to have a ritual of weekly dinners at the Sushi Train next to George St. Cinema's and instead of carrying on with our cheap (but ever so yummy) tradition, I decided to take her to Kobe Jones on King St. Wharf.

Even though she got slightly tipsy after a few sips of her cocktail it was a great night. I had forgotten how much alike we are. We talk about being old (she just turned 26 and I turn 26 in March. Eeek!). She told me how she wants me to start having babies so she can have something to play with, and how I need to make sure that I get married when she is in the country so she can plan my hens night and kitchen tea...I guess it's always good to have a friend who is prepared? Heh.

The food was to die for, we were both practically licking the plates to make sure we got every last piece. However by the end of dinner my skirt felt 2 sizes too tight and she needed to un-do the button of her pants. Both of us are totally classy ladies.
