May The Stars Light Your Way
We have just returned from our second year in a row at the Palace, and we were not disappointed. Last year my fiance and I went in October and met 6 new friends from the US and Canada. We all had such a great time that we returned this year together for another great week. What follows are all the details I can think of to tell you about the Palace, and my own little tips for having a great DR vacation.
Tonight was the October meeting of the HAPPY MOUTH SUPPER CLUB and we (Ted, Holly, Ed, Jay, Meg, Doug, Kristi, Chuck, Ron (our newest member), Wendy, and Drew) dined at the Chokolate Morel in Mason Ohio. This is a chef-owned restaurant in an old house…
After Culinary Theory class ended early, I decided to stop for sushi at SCILLA. What a nice surprise to find Wendy & a bunch of her co-workers already there! I had a lovely Yaki Soba, some Miso soup, Tuna Nigiri, and Eel Sushi. The chef sent over a "Mango Crunch Roll" that was awesome!
We had Chris & Rebecca and Jessica (minus Chad, who was working) over for dinner this evening. Drew made an Cucumber Mango Amuse-Bouche, Apple Chestnut Soup with Spiced Cream, a Mandarin Orange, Almond, and Onion Salad, and an entree of roasted Salmon with Bleu Cheese,…
Tonight was French Bread Pizzas while we got ready for dinner guests tomorrow night!
For our dinner this evening, we went to Wendy’s parent’s house for a combination celebration. We were celebrating Wendy’s birthday (Sept 17), Drew’s birthday (Oct 23), and the arrival at Wendy’s parent’s house of Missy, their new cat, who is hopefully a snake killer.
Ginny made nice braised beef, baked potato, glazed carrot, and salad in addition to a wonderful cake!
Tonight we ate at Tri-State Scuba’s first-ever Family Reunion. The dive shop hosted about 125 people for an evening of companionship, fun, music, and food. We enjoyed the corn on the cob, potatos, and fried fish that the shop provided!
