Simple fair and tastes but oh so guilty and pleasurable.

Meal:
A small plate of Caesar Salad - glass of Pinot Grigio
A cup of New England Clam Chowder - glass of Pinot Noir
A small plate of angel hair pasta pomodoro - glass of Chianti

Basket of Warm Italian Bread with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar or Danish Butter

Either a Grilled Rib Eye Steak with Sauteed Mushrooms - glass of Cabernet or Merlot
Steamed fresh vegetables w/lemon & garlic
Basmanti Rice Pilaf or Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Or a 2lb Maine Lobster with warm butter on side. - glass of Chardonnay
Basket of Steamers
Homemade Cole Slaw
Grilled Corn on the Cob

Dessert:
Soufflle Grand Marnier drizzled with bavarian cream sauce and Grand Marnier Liquor
Coffee

And to top it off, a glass of porto or madeira with a good cigar or pipe.

Throw in a bag of CA plump, ripe, pistachio nuts and I'm in heaven.

Buddy Day at Tae Kwan Do

I took Ana to Tae Kwon Do yesterday and it was buddy day so, I got to be her buddy for the class. Always nice to be able to do something with my daughter. We played a couple of games. Duck, Duck, Goose and Dodgeball. I found out how old I was when I ran around the circle and my mind said go this fast and my feet said no way. Needless to say, I over balanced and wiped out on a turn. Nothing hurt but pride. I did slide into my spot on another round and ended up with road rash on my left knee and jambed a couple of toes on my left foot. Nice pretty purple now. Advil helped and Aloe99 helped on the road rash. I'll survive. I had a good time. I won the Dodgeball game at the end for our team. It was just me and David and he is real short and fast. I got lucky. Ana had a good time too but today she is the walking wounded. She twisted her ankle I think.
