Dear Moose,
The times DOES come when you wish to be waited on in style and served
a decent meal. Plus, I believe in supporting these independent
restaurants. Plus, I was treating someone I hadn't seen in over a
year and was in a distant state. Plus it was his birthday. Should I
have hauled the couple to BK or tried to make them a meal in their
house? Which would YOU do?
The whole experience WAS 'wunderbar'.
