    Neighbor and I are heading to an Italian restaurant for
    dinner, her treat.  She feels she needs to repay me when
    I look after her cats, clean their litter box, and
    collect her mail.  I honestly do not mind doing this,
    but she feels she owes me.

    I'm getting to try a restaurant I've not been to and
    will report back later.

    That sounds like a good deal.
    I am still full from today's buffet lunch. I have made up some burgers
    so they are ready to throw on the grill when/if we get hungry.

    Last night my DIL sent over a very nice turkey platter, but it was after
    my dinner. Had it tonight and it was very good.
    Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce. Had a wee sip of
    chardonnay to wash it down.

    I'm still on soft, fairly bland food. I made yellow squash casserole.
    A few months ago I printed the recipe and put it on the table in the
    break room at the office building where I work. A woman who recently
    rented an office there found it. She walked up and down the halls
    asking whose recipe was it? She made it and absolutely loved it. She's
    been asking me for recipes ever since. :) Last week I gave her the
    recipe for potato leek soup. For some reason she thought it would be complicated...

    I hope you enjoyed your dinner! I can't think of any decent Italian restaurants in my area. 'Panini's on the Waterfront' downtown might
    qualify but the building is more interesting than the food was:

    The building dates to the late 19th century. It was at one time a bank
    and the full size bank vault is still intact on the lower floor of the building. The restaurant itself is upstairs with sweeping views of the Beaufort harbor.
