Lost Heaven

Monday my friend Kathi took me antique furniture shopping and then we went to lunch at a beautiful restaurant called Lost Heaven. Kathi is currently building a house in Richmond, VA and so she is always on the look out for the next 'great piece' to fill her new home. We visited 2 wonderful shops that had rooms and rooms of furniture, some were reproductions of antiques and some real antiques. I made a note of the locations and took the business cards in case I feel like I need a piece to take home with us. Right now though I am not in need of anything so I just enjoyed browsing around.

The lunch was 'heaven', atmosphere, food and company all heaven sent. We celebrated my good fortune in obtaining employment and we wondered what I was going to learn from the students. We agreed that I was probably going to learn more than they will. What a cultural boon for me!! Kathi is a great companion to go to lunch with. She orders all the really good things that are bad for you.

We ate Spring rolls, veggie filled, crab cakes with spinach, sauteed broccoli and a lovely sliced chicken with what I will call an Asian salsa on top. This was made up of finely chopped spring onions, cilantro, red pepper (not too much) and some other leafy veg. Yum yum yummy. Oh and a bottle of white wine. We sat and talked and ate for about 3 hours, enjoying the wine and the feast in front of us. I took the left overs home to serve Tony, which he enjoyed immensely.

I did take a picture of the bathroom sink in the restaurant as I thought it was beautiful. As I was preparing for the shot I turned off the flash as I didn't want to get the reflection of the mirror. As I was standing there studying this beautiful sink I realized that the 'reverse' faucet was not a reflection but the men's room side of the washing up area.
