You remind me of this russian mom I knew in the US..she would say are you free this weekend, there is a nice little coffee shop over there, can we meet to discuss work. I would say, but I don't have a car..she would say no prob, I will come and pick you up. The best part of eating out with these moms is you don't have to pay for the coffee...you don't have to pay anything in cash.
