Not In The Mood

Posted by bec on Jan 27, 2008 in Friends |

Why is it whenever I am not in the mood to go out I have a good time? It was he turn of the Scout New Year’s Meal today. Yes, I know that New Years was nearly four weeks ago but, well,, that’s just the way we roll.

We went to Cube in Kirkham - a place that I had heard both good and terrible things about, but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed myself. the service was excellent, food plentiful, hot and tasty; and the drink prices very very reasonable. All in all very good quality.

The conversation on our table drifted through a number of weird and wonderful topics including how many balloons would it take to lift a wine glass? Then how many balloons would it take to float the kids away? And finally what the hell was the fruit on top of the desserts called? Yeah, no one took a photo of it because no one had a camera. but it was small (about the size of a big grape), yellow think unripened tomato yellow not lemon yellow), had long thin leaves on top and tasted like a slightly sour kiwi fruit. Any ideas?

Anyway, a good time was had by all - far better than the god awful time we had last year. Will definitely be going there again! And now to bed for there is a place I will be visiting in the morning called… work!

I think those fruits may be called Cape Goosberries, but I’m not entirely sure.
