I can understand why you'd want to turn down the invitations. These
country club places seem to change chefs (and menus) as often as we
change underwear. Your friends probably have to meet dining minimums,
too. There is no guarantee the food will be good from month to month.

Still, the Club seems to have nailed this particular meal. Very good!
I told Marina it was great.

What strikes me as interesting is many of the people who work there
recognize me when I come in. They know my name.

I don't eat at the Club very often. I'm making more of a concerted
effort this year to use the dining minumum. Still, I hardly ever eat
there. Yet they know who I am. That's either pretty neat or rathr
scary.
