Potatoes
Maybe it’s my Irish heritage, but I never met a potato I didn’t like. And I search all the time. In super markets and restaurants and fast food stopovers.

                Bob Evans
Earl’s favorite restaurant for breakfast closed unceremoniously about a week ago, which left him at temporary loose ends for his usual daily ritual. And which is also why we found ourselves trying Bob Evans Restaurant before eight this morning.

                Waitressing
Last night Clara, Earl, and I went to dinner at a local restaurant whose name will be Anonymous. Not because the food was bad or the service lacked. But because our server was new, and I don’t want to cite

                Perch
It’s Friday; and, like many Fridays, Earl and I are planning where to go out to dinner. It’s become an end-of-the-work-week tradition.

Earl and I had a heart-to-heart about our dinner issues, and I am really surprised with the outcome. Surprised and pleased.
