DINNER 32: Wednesday, February 1, 2006

Tonight, we took a short break from left-overs to quickly dine together at Frisch’s. Wendy had a turkey wrap and I had a cheeseburger & some of their great onion rings. After dinner, Wendy headed down to the theater for a rehearsal of IRMA VEP…

It's Groundhog Day!

It's Groundhog Day!

Happy Groundhog Day everyone! Yes, it’s that time of year once again.  A time for that most pint sized of meteorological prognosticators, Puxatawny Phil, to use his magical powers for the good, or at least amusement, of mankind. But as you’re enjoying your celebrations this…

DINNER 33: Thursday, February 2, 2006

Wendy had rehearsal for IRMA VEP at Falcon Theater tonight, so I was on my own for dinner. That meant leftovers! Yup, the never-ending stream of stuffed, roasted pork from our dinner party continues. I ate that along with some cottage cheese and potato chips.…

DINNER 34: Friday, February 3, 2006

Tonight, we ate at CRAZY BUFFET with Dave & Robin. Robin carefully selected tonight’s destination after last week’s restaurant confusion. He seemed much more comfortable in the familiar (but crazy) surroundings of the giant buffet. We dined on loads of decent Chinese-ish food, and sat…

DINNER 35: Saturday, February 4, 2006

This evening, we went to dinner with our friends Ed & Holly to Nick’s Chops & Chasers, where we enjoyed our appetizer of stuffed mushrooms, our soups & salads, and thick, boneless, and well-prepared pork chops prepared a variety of ways (Jack Daniel’s glazed, garlic & onion, spiced apple, and normandy). All were excellent.

We decided to take advantage of some of the other culinary offerings in the immediate area (Oakley) and left Nick’s for dessert at Pho Paris, just a block or two down the road. After a brief wait for our table, we were seated and enjoyed wonderful desserts prepared by Summer, the pastry chef at Pho Paris. We sampled the majority of the desserts being offered: Lemongrass Crème Brulee; Bavarois de Vanille; Curried Chocolate Banana Cake; and White Chocolate Passion Fruit Mousse Cake. All were exceptional! We stopped back in the kitchen to offer our congratulations to Summer.

As you may have noticed from some of the posts, we’ve added another castmember to our bumbling little circus here at the house. The newest is an as-yet-unnamed Little White Cat. He’s about 4 months old and showed up on the doorstep of a friend…
