DINNER: Friday, April 4, 2003
Tonight was another Lean Cuisine night, and that felt especially inappropriate for a follow-up meal from the JAMES BEARD dinner. Ah well. Reality had to set in sometime.

First JAMES BEARD dinner in Cincinnati, April 3, 2003
On April 3, 2003, Wendy & I attended the first-ever James Beard Dinner in Cincinnati, Ohio to benefit the James Beard Foundation.
DINNER: Wednesday, April 2, 2003
Tonight, we were supposed to meet Wendy's mother at Mt. Adams Bar & Grill at 5:45 for dinner before heading over to the Playhouse in the Park to see PACIFIC OVERTURES.
We arrived in Mt. Adams a bit early, found a great parking place, and walked around for about 20 minutes before heading toward the Bar & Grill, still a few minutes early. While we were waiting for Ginny to arrive, we enjoyed their Greek Plate — hummus and tabouleh served with pita, olives, and tomato.
Before long, we noticed that Ginny, normally quite punctual, wasn't there. Wendy made a couple of calls and couldn't find Ginny. We delayed ordering our dinner for a bit, and then, around 6:15 decided that we would go ahead and eat and go see CORAL REEF ADVENTURE at the Cincinnati Museum Center instead of seeing PACIFIC OVERTURES.
Wendy had their Tuna Salad Sandwich, and I had a nice piece of grilled Tuna. We shared some of their very-good fries.
As it turns out, the performance of PACIFIC OVERTURES was cancelled due to a family emergency in the cast. Ginny had sent Wendy an email, which must have gotten lost in the bitstream. Still, Wendy and I enjoyed CORAL REEF very much, and had a nice evening, even though plans changed.

Tonight, we had some more work to do around the house. Seems that pulling down the masking tape in our guest room also pulled off a fair amount of the new paint, so there was loads of touching up to do. We ate frozen meals…

Tonight, I tried to cook something akin to Chicken Fried Rice, but it didn't go too well because Wendy & I own the rice cooker from HELL. Instead of making lovely discreet grains of rice, this demonic contraption turns out clumpy, pasty, and shapeless rice.…

Tonight, we ate with several of Wendy's co-workers at the Taj Mahal, a local Indian restaurant that Wendy & I enjoy very much.
We dined on their excellent samosas, fried 'unmeltable' cheese, and paneer makahani, along with saag bihrani, and several other dishes. Naan and batura breads were in abundance, too!
Delicious food all around!
DINNER: Saturday, March 29, 2003
Another meal out, our third (in a row) this week. Tonight we ate at our favorite Cincinnati sushi place, SILLA. We ate there as a reward for successfully building (with only one washer left over!) our new Nautilus machine. MAN was that a bear. About…
