Last night a couple of my girlfriends and I met for dinner at an organic diner/restaurant called Red Light. The three of us all had our first babies within months of each other so every once in a while we like to get together without the babies -- there are plenty of time when they come with us too -- and talk about how things are going.
The Red Light is a pretty cool spot on Biscayne Boulevard. It's nestled between a dingy motel and a strip club right on the Miami River. The place is pretty small but it's got a great retro diner feel and hipster wait staff. I liked it. The food was...okay. Two of us had the warm spinach salad which I really liked (it has bacon in it), while the third ordered a vegetarian plate that they specially put together for her. We also shared an artichoke appetizer and a fish dip that was pretty tasty. Unfortunately they brought a butternut squash soup way too late so we didn't even eat it.
But the best part of the night was definitely catching up with my new Miami mom friends. I may not have known them for long, but we've been through a lot together in this limited time. God, this whole motherhood thing has just been insane. It's not only introduced us to a new part of ourselves, but it's changed who we are as career women, as wives, as friends. So every once in a while it feels really nice to get together and hash some things out.
