Food, Fun & Fellowship!




Meocha Belle 6/24

Yesterday class was cancelled because of transportation strikes. This gave me a chance to catch up on my personal responsibilities and get ahead on my course readings, so I appreciated the time.
Thankfully, we still had our weekly dinner at L'Equator- a Cameroonian restaurant. It ranked next to my previous meal had on the first day of Paris Noir! From start to finish, my meal, company and service was great! The plantains were the sweetest I have had and just the right texture, the hibiscus juice had the perfect twist of tang, my chicken was flavorful, tender and juicy, and the macaroon and sorbet was sweet and crisp! The guests and my fellows at my table kept me laughing and also educated on the transportation strikes in the winter of 1995 in Paris. The restaurant staff was pleasant and complimentary of special needs. We had such a good time that we stayed at L'Equator until 11:30pm after taking our seats at 8pm. We would have stayed longer if the metro station did not close at 12am, because we all were enjoying each other's company and sharing our research project ideas and findings.
We did end up getting the last train in time and decided to all go out to the club together.
