Fridays, Feasting With Friends- Featuring Medeana Hobar

One of the delights of life is eating with friends, second to that is talking about eating. And, for an unsurpassed double whammy, there is talking about eating while you are eating with friends.” 

~Laurie Colwin'Home Cooking'

For today's segment of Friday's Feasting with Friends I would like to introduce you to my friend Medeana.  She is full of life, joy and brings sunshine wherever she goes.  I honestly don't think I have ever met a more uplifting and positive person then I did with Medeana.  I met Medeana through my sister, and am so thrilled with the friendship that I have developing with her myself.  She is my first "vegan" friend, and I always love hearing about the amazing and wonderful things her family enjoys at each meal.  Sometimes they might sound a bit strange, but all of them I would love to give a taste and see for myself.  (So Medeana, if you ever have any leftovers you are more then welcome to send them my way *grin*.)  Her family lives on an Organic Farm (lucky girl!!!) and she is a self-proclaimed Tree-hugger (some of my favorite kinds of people!)  She is just an all around fun girl, and will guarantee to make you feel at ease and in turn make you laugh until your sides hurt.
