Gen X and Millennial Ladies: Broad Squad

If you have never tried Shabu Shabu, you must!

Shabu shabu is a Japanese hot pot dish where thinly sliced meat and vegetables are cooked in a boiling broth at the table and then dipped in various sauces.

The name "shabu shabu" meams “swish swish" for sound of the ingredients being swished in the broth.

It’s a communal dining experience where everyone cooks their own ingredients in the pot.

In other words it fun and delicious!

The Lafayette Art & Wine Festival is the largest event in Lamorinda and one of the five biggest outdoor festivals in Contra Costa County.

The event features four stages with continuous music and four kid zones! Admission, parking and bike parking/valet are free!

Let’s dress up and visit the new Original Joe’s !

Original Joe’s in North Beach has always been one of my very favorite restaurants in the city. If you’ve never been or if you’ve been many times, it’s a must visit (or visit again)

I think it’d be fun for us all to dress up a little (think business casual or cocktail “light”aka no jeans or similar)

See you then!
