Oh, how I miss having cousin Bridget live right across the street from me!! Back in December, she and Joe moved to North Carolina and I had not seen her since! Well, tonight she flew into town for business so she picked me up downtown and we had a lovely dinner uptown at the French Meadow together tonight!

They had the most fabulous rainbow trout w/beans and spinach and Bridget had the Nicoise salad. We both drank our red wine and dipped the fabulous bread in the fresh olive oil.

Since I had an entree, I was entitled a free dessert and decided to go for the vegan apple crisp. It was so perfectly fresh with mint as part of the fruit "salsa" on top of the crisp.

It was fun to catch up with her and tell her all the crazy dramas in my life. As author Neal Karlen and I would agree, there is so much more to the "back story." (Hi Neal! Don't worry, it's all good!)

Well, off to bed now I guess. Life: decisions, decisions. Ugh. Not so much into that decision-making process. Some people would consider getting a job or paying taxes or having a kid the trademark of entering adulthood. For me, it's making decisions. Decisions, decisions.

Decisions....
