My sister is a producer in Toronto's advertising industry. Clair's job is to coordinate people who can sufficiently complete a job under a set budget.In a way, taking her work home means organizing social gatherings after hours. Tonight, the budget was flexible and the task at hand required polishing off a few rounds of Tapas and a couple bottles of white wine. Piece of cake.
Actually, we had just about everything besides a piece of cake, from salmon tapenade to curried lamb tips. I even tasted soft boiled quail eggs. The food at Kultura was delicious but, as I mentioned to her friend Thierry, even a dish as scrumptious as strawberries and cream is improved with good company.
And amidst superb company is where Thierry found himself this evening. He was the Snow White among seven lovely ladies, none of whom were Bashful or Grumpy. We all may as well have been called Happy-it must have been the Pinot Gris. The assembly included Clair's invites along with a few of my good friends who have migrated from Windsor to Hamilton over the years.
Good food and good company. No leftovers.
Job well done sis.
