It
has been raining ever since I complained that we weren't getting rain
during the rainy season!!! It did give me an opportunity to continue on a
major task--I have been deleting old blogs that aren't relevant any
more--so far about a thousand--when through with that I plan on
eliminating 'friends' that requested to be a friend and haven't been
here since--next is to get rid of subscriptions of people who aren't
here anymore or at least aren't posting anymore--last but not least will
be the elimination of photographs--amazing how it all accumulates!

Yes I LOVE food! There is no questioning that, though I do question where people get the idea I am always eating out . I,
generally, eat out on Thursdays when Allen takes me on my errands and
we will get a bite to eat on Friday after the movies. During theatre
season we will eat before going to see a show so the most we are talking
about is 3 times a week but mostly twice a week.

I
cook most of my suppers at home--usually 7 nights a week--and will
write about that at the end of this week or the beginning of next week. I
love to cook but as a single man I usually cook simple items where I
use to love to have dinner parties and cook a rack of primes ribs ,
shrimp scampi, linguini in white clam sauce, serving a made from scratch
Caesar salad, having various appetizers and what's not to love about
carrot cake with a scoop of ice cream for dessert.

This
summer Allen and I have been eating lunch at the Cafe Vico which are
doing 2-4-1 lunches and after 10 weeks we have yet to have less than a
great meal. Along with excellent, friendly service, an owner and his
wife on the premises helping, this is a restaurant to look forward to
going to. When they go back to regular prices I won't be able to eat
there as often because lunch at $16-$18, including tax and tip, would be
a bit high.

On
the other hand I am seriously thinking of having my 20th Leap Year
birthday party there on February 29, 2016. I am starting to save money
now just in case I haven't won the powerball by then!
