 RH>>> It looks good but not the one I'm looking for.
 NB>>> Did you find it yet...?
 RH>> Not yet, I need to ask my SIL and/or MIL. Been too busy on other
 RH>> projects to think of it long enough to ask.
 NB>> I can relate to that...  :)   One has to think of things at the
 NB>> right time, too...  ;)

 RH> Yes, and this is the week end my in laws are going back to Florida.
 RH> I'll give them a few days to resettle before calling to ask about the
 RH> recipe. 

Good thinking.  :)

 NB>>>> the family had made her signature rhubarb dish, a rhubarb
 NB>>>> cream with meringue topping...
 RH>>> Sounds good enough to eat in short manner. (G)
 NB>>> It certainly was... she had made up a extra large baking dish
 NB>>> full, and it was pretty well vanished by the time we left...  :)
 RH>> Doing quite well for something with rhubarb! (G)
 NB>> It was quite tasty, and people went back for more.... and talked
 NB>> it up to others...  ;)

 RH> Making converts to rhubarb?
 
Perhaps...  or maybe they weren't really aware that it was rhubarb... ;)

 RH>> One of those you sigh over when you hear the news. Same as when we
 RH>> stopped in Savannah at the end of the year and found one of our
 RH>> favorite after church dinner places had closed.
 NB>> Most of the food establishments along W. Henrietta Rd run a similar
 NB>> risk... Some of them thrive over the years, becoming destination
 NB>> places... others only last a few years, and they are gone... like one
 NB>> we finally discovered (across from Seoul House) that served good
 NB>> Mexican food... it lasted maybe 3-4 years... it's closed already... 
 NB>> And one up on the corner of Crittendon has changed hands many times
 NB>> over the years, even though we'd patronized most of the different
 NB>> permutations, just couldn't make it long-term....  Further up (where
 NB>> it's actually Mt. Hope Ave) is where the little Thai restaurant I've
 NB>> been talking about with CT Ruth was...

 RH> We've been to the Seoul House, Texas Roadhouse, and Carrabba's in that
 RH> area. Of course the latter 2 are chain places that we've been to in
 RH> other locations but all were good.

And there's lots more chain places along Jefferson Rd, too... some
better than others...  ;)   Tandoor of India's in the same general area,
too...  If Alfano's isn't viable next time we try to connect, there's
some other good places in the Henrietta area... :)

 NB>> Of course, even the destination places have a lifespan... I think the
 NB>> only ones left there from my college/slightly after days are Jay's
 NB>> Diner and Friendly's...  Maybe the Amiel's dates back to close to
 NB>> that...  :)

 RH> Don't know if any of the few places there were in Houghton when I was
 RH> a student are still there. Doubt it.

Depends on whether or not the next generation (or a new owner) carried
on the business as it was...  Jay's Diner is definitely under new
ownership since my college days, but it doesn't appear to be changed
much all the same...  :)   Holloway House (I think the name is) in
Bloomfield is a local landmark restaurant that goes back quite a ways,
as I understand it...
