I also remember good o'l Swiss chalet! Wow! I am seriously glad I have revised my diet these days. Not that I complained about the food back then, it was cheap, fast and filling and to be honest that's all I needed it to be. :)<br /><br />Now I have to watch my figure so carefully I cherish everything I eat and have become extremely particular. Im glad that you had that time together though. Time moves so fast nowadays.<br /><br />Thinking of you<br />helen xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-43800303493526947422011-01-05T12:49:30.305-05:002011-01-05T12:49:30.305-05:00http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/episodes/celebration...http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/episodes/celebration-gustavo-dudamel-and-the-la-phil-with-juan-diego-florez/watch-the-concert/1061/<br /><br />Happy New YearEllenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-78847368629835851162011-01-05T10:38:07.556-05:002011-01-05T10:38:07.556-05:00I can just imagine how uncomfortable that period w...I can just imagine how uncomfortable that period was prior to the rest arriving.<br /><br />90 years young!

Oooh, so yummy. I'm surprised they didn't offer you rice pilaf as a side though. I always order that. Oh, and I never let restaurants get away with anything. I would've had them come back with the broccoli on a separate plate. ;)<br /><br />As far as your brother-in-law, he sounds like my brother... when he does anything besides grunt, I mean.Amy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01731056254476935306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-38445281400143652282011-01-04T10:12:22.982-05:002011-01-04T10:12:22.982-05:00Having always lived on one coast of North America ...Having always lived on one coast of North America or the other, I've never been to Red Lobster. For seafood, I've always been to local establishments or at least local chains. Lucky me! What I might be tempted to do it make a meal out of appetizers, especially if those are what you like best.<br /><br />Glad your mother enjoyed it anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-71094899367559692652011-01-04T08:51:35.022-05:002011-01-04T08:51:35.022-05:00I have an uncle who resembles the b-i-l. My saying...I have an uncle who resembles the b-i-l. My saying about how I behave with him: "nod and smile". People like that do not appreciate a conversation anyway, so why bother?<br /><br />Ah Red Slobster.... we are so lucky up here in Canada because of our geriatric alternative: The Swiss Chalet. They have been serving charcoal grilled chicken for over fifty years and it is consistently reliable. The good items at the Slobster are their cheese biscuits and the chowder... after that, as you suggest salt floating in butter.<br /><br />You made your mother happy, and that is so good.Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-84565212914051837372011-01-04T08:16:43.479-05:002011-01-04T08:16:43.479-05:00I know what you mean about Red Lobster.

Red Lobster is especially guilty when it comes to anything in a butter sauce. I just won't go there if I want to eat fish (although their cheese biscuits are quite good).<br /><br />But,like Elizabeth, you've still gone and made me hungry... :D<br /><br />xoxo-https://www.blogger.com/profile/12678823555927806259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-64224522455926291842011-01-04T07:28:48.657-05:002011-01-04T07:28:48.657-05:00Melissa,

Thanks, Melissa :P<br /><br />In all seriousness, I'm glad your Mom had a good night out and, at 90, she deserves it, and like you said, that really is what it was all about.<br /><br />Just stick to trite nonsense conversation with your b-in-law... sometimes family can be the hardest people to talk to. I can talk to strangers on Hollywood Blvd for hours, but find it hard to string together three words when talking to my brother or Dad :P<br /><br />Love,<br />E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
