May The Stars Light Your Way
Tonight was a simple dinner because I was very tired… Last night’s heavy thunderstorm seems to have frightened …some animal… into our attic and the scared little critter was pawing at the ceiling drywall, which woke Wendy up. To her, the noise was so distracting…
After class (in which we worked on cheese items — we made Mascarpone, Mozzarella, Lemon Cheese, and a very nice Blue Cheese Tart with Dill), I was very hungry so I stopped at McDonald’s for what has become a standard meal there — a couple…
A surprise evening without plans (since the monthly Wine Dinner at the IRON HORSE INN was cancelled this month), so what do we do? MAKE PLANS!
We got together with Dave & Robin for dinner at Ramono’s Macaroni Grill. We enjoyed appetizers of Mozzarella alla Caprese, a spicy Sicilian Pizza, and then entrees of Penne Rustica (which Wendy loves) and a Penne with Roasted Chicken special for me.
The conversation was nice, and it was good to spend some quiet time together around a table.
YaNoWhatIMean wants to know what 10 things do you do every day. Here’s my list: * Brush my teeth. * Shower. I cannot get my day started without a hot shower. * Pet my animals — all 5 cats and two dogs. * Read. Usually…
I was scheduled to have class this evening from 3:00pm until 9:30pm. I arrived to class around 2:45 to find that Chef Kinsella wasn’t there; we were having Chef Grace Yek as a substitute. Due to the normal lack of communication around there, Chef Yek…
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, moms!
Today, we celebrated Mother’s Day by taking the moms (and dads!) to a late (2:00) brunch at the IRON HORSE INN in Glendale. The moms & dads, Ted, Wendy, and I sampled their selection of breakfast and lunch items. Everything from made-to-order omlettes to roasted leg of lamb with mint sauce, and much more. We were just giving Jeff, the manager at the restaurant, a bit of grief because they were sold out of the Lobster Cheese Grits, one of Wendy’s favorites. Jeff let us stew for a moment before telling us that he’d put a plate of the Grits aside for us! He brought out a heaping plate of the grits (he knows us and our appetites), plenty for everyone at the table to get all they wanted. Well, maybe Wendy wanted more… We were so full from brunch that we didn’t eat dinner at all… That was it. Our only meal of the day.
I decided not to join Wendy at this evening’s performance of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Falcon Theater, because the show was sold out (yeah!) and I didn’t feel like adding to the mass of humanity. So I stayed home and did my own thing…
