===============================
Bonjour Michael!

->  -> I always enjoy the choices you set out for us when we go
->  -> out restaurant hunting.
->  HN> So do I...we do have some interesting choices for 
->  HN> your next visit...whenever that is!
-> 
-> Hoping to clear June out but am also looking at music
-> festivals and such so won't know exactly when where who
-> how or why. The one that I know I could do would conflict
-> with my usual July 4 gig, but it's 40 services or so,
-> so that might be a draw.
-> 
Keep me posted! Mariners are intown June 1-4 and  13-18. Convention 
is June 11-15.

->  -> It was a very complex wine. I wasn't completely bowled over
->  -> by it, as some of the tastes don't strike me as belonging in
->  -> wine, but I did enjoy it pretty well on the whole.
->  HN> As did I, I'm working on the Norton Agentinian Malbec now
->  HN> and I like it well enough that I might look for it again!
-> 
-> I've been an advocate for Norton Malbec, which was my sister's
-> and my daily wine when she was sick. I find it a bit too
-> amabile but quite nice with food. It was $6.99 on special -
-> a good deal, cheaper than the inferior Finca Flichman and
-> much cheaper than Catena and the big names - around the turn
-> of the millennium; what's it now?
-> 
Not sure!

->  HN> Yay for more time! I'd like to go travelling a bit more
->  HN> but $$ and time...and most importanly time away from
->  HN> Anne keeps me closer to home.
-> 
-> Of course, you could drag Anne along.
-> 
She's in school most of the time I wanna go somewhere, and 
during the summer it's often too hot where I'd be going (earlier)
and if we go anywhere, she want's it to be to see Amanda.
Which I certianly have no argument with, but it does seem 
to limit our destinations somewhat!

->  -> Not only was it a filet (not my favorite cut, under normal
->  -> circumstances), but it was a fork-tender one, so it wasn't
->  -> exactly a tough test on the teeth.
->  HN> Sounds yummy enough though!
->  
-> My friend Ella, who is a music teacher, got a gift certificate
-> for Applebee's from a student, so we went there the other night.
-> I had the "house sirloin" with "creamed spinach" and "onion
-> rings" with "buffalo chicken tenders" for starters and a "key
-> lime pie shooter" for dessert, $12.99. The chicken tenders
-> were the best part, though the "extra hot" heat came from a
-> sprinkle of maybe 1% cayenne, 2% pepper, and 97% salt. The
-> steak was 9 oz from what we know as "shell sirloin," marinated
-> in a mixture of artificial soy sauce and battery acid, and none
-> too tender nor too tasty; the rings had a pathetic shred of
-> onion in the middle of a huge wad of batter. The vegetable was
-> a quite large quantity of good spinach ruined by some kind of
-> white cheese melted over it. The key lime stuff was: one layer
-> of graham cracker crumbs, one layer of lemon-lime mix pudding
-> (though not bad for that), another layer of graham cracker
-> crumbs, and a splotch of Reddi-Wip analogue, served in an
-> about 6 oz shot glass - I gave much of this away. The point
-> being that I negotiated the none-too-tender steak quite well
-> with my defective dental apparatus.
-> 
Yeh, but you probably cut that steak with your knife
not your incisors! 
chat with you soon
