Re: [FairfieldLife] So What Do You do?
Impressive, so perhaps you can help. For starters please clarify what you mean by Slice the vegetables on the bias because I just will not discriminate against any vegetable, green or blue, because vegetables are my friends. I love dairy. Got milk? Wanna eat out together sometime? I yearn (there's that word again) for restaurants. I believe it's because, knowing the time and place of my ioncarnation, I want to enjoy NYC to the max this time around. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, punditster@... wrote : On 8/27/2014 8:58 AM, danfriedman2002 wrote: I got the Deluxe Browser now.

Re: [FairfieldLife] So What Do You do?
Makin' me hungry! I used to eat lots of Macro in NYC restaurants, when it was trendy. Last time I got annoyed about the family-style seating and lousy wine list. Did sprout some in the closet for a while. Like gardening. Keep it green! Now I eat lots of Japanese (out). Mostly sushi. The best salad I have ever eaten (and vegetables are my friends). My wife comes from generations of vegetarians, and she's written about past times. Nice to talk food, although it's making me hungry!
