After another long day of hard labor around the house (what's
up with that? I'm cut out for a life of leisure, not this nonsense)
we decided to go out to this place for ribs.

I ordered spare ribs and pulled pork and Ron ordered the spare
ribs and lobster tail. Everything was excellent. I even ordered
turnip greens (is that one word?) for the first time. Not bad at
all, considering I despise turnips beyond reason.

Ordered dessert, too. Tennessee hot fudge cake ... thing. Very
good, real whipped cream and all.

(laugh) That would have sounded good to me, too, kili.

Sounds tasty. I had rib-eyes, cooked on the grill, salad and
"supersweet" corn ("supersweet", according to Kroger's). It was good,
but the corn was not supersweet.

Sounds very decadent, I'm jealous!

Have you ever eaten collard greens? With some onions and ham hock,
they are delicious.

Lin had an arduous afternoon getting a manicure, pedicure, and hair cut &
color, so we decided to show her off by going out to eat, too. We went to a
Moroccan restaurant in Sacramento, and had (in order):

Lentil soup

Moroccan salads (with Moroccan bread):
* cold stewed herbed asparagus
* a Moroccan version of baba gannouj
* a tomato-cucumber salad with a light herb vinaigrette
* cumin-scented carrot chunks
* herbed boiled potato chunks

B'stilla (a phyllo-wrapped pie of chicken, scrambled eggs, and other things,
sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon)

Braised lamb with onions and raisins

Braised hare with paprika

A one-inch square of a baklava-like pastry with sweet mint tea

We also had most of a bottle of Moroccan red wine.

Although I don't eat red meat and haven't since the late-sixties, I
eat just about everything else - including red meat if I'm a guest
somewhere where the hosts don't know of my preference or don't take it
seriously.

The only thing I draw the line on is turnips. The mere thought makes
my stomach churn.

PS - Bacon is honorary lettuce.

Sounds great...we had tuna salad sandwiches at a softball game...

Tonight is Tilapia tacos with corn relish.

I can't stand turnips either..and my grandmother was actually able to
make them worse than normal..boiled them in water all day until they
were mush. Then she wondered why I hated them.

You know, I never see them on the menu around here, if I ever
head south, I will most definitely look for them. I'll like them, I'm
sure, I like greens in general.

It was a nice meal, then came the bill. Not bad, just this one thing.
Small detail, they only take cash. (laugh) Uh ... is there an ATM
around here?

See? That's more like it! Enough with painting and planting.

And that sounds like a delicious dinner.
