• Celebrate good times

• Food, Glorious Food. Always Food. If I had to drink I’d have half of one very weak Amaretto Sour, which I learned about from my college age kids.I would then quickly change to cranberry-pineapple juice. Several, no ice, please. But, celebration and happiness go hand in hand with a really good meal with my family at a fabulous restaurant.

  Some of the choices would be:

  Hot French Dinner Rolls, with (Soft) Butter

  Appetizers: Shrimp Cocktail (the shrimp is just a vehicle for the cocktail sauce) salad, small but entertaining with many ingredients i(.e. raisins, avocado, cheese, fresh tomatoes,) creamy leek soup, crunchy lamb spring rolls with a yogurt dill sauce. All of the above.

  Entrée:
  Beef Wellington
  Filet Mignon
  Chicken (the one with the fresh lemon sauce and capers)
  Lobster (out of the shell, grilled, buttered with cream sauce if or plain.

  Side orders of:
  Rice, Grilled Asparagus, glazed carrots, roasted baby brussel sprouts with carmelized onions, creamed spinach

  Dessert:
  Chocolate layer cake (Hazelnut mousse inside)
  Blueberry and almond bread pudding, marzipan
  Vanilla/almond cake
  Vanilla/Chocolate ice cream
  Fresh berries in season (ha ha ha)

• Oh, and the meal is free. Congratulations to me.
