Restaurant #1
My original thought was try a new restaurant a month but that might be too limiting. I don't want to have to run out on the last day of the month just to fulfill a challenge. So twelve restaurants in a year, sounds doable and just enough fun to keep it interesting.
It also goes along with my desire to reconnect with people that I haven't seen in a while or people I "talk to" on Facebook but don't actually see in real life.This gives me an excuse to get out of my comfort zone and go....(Like I need an excuse!)
Anyhooo....
A couple of weeks ago a sweet friend from High School asked me when I was going back to Colorado and if we could have lunch first. Confessing that I wasn't going back anytime soon did not get me knocked off the lunch invite AND she even planned where we were going. That was a huge relief as I have been getting lost in my little tiny space that I drive everyday. It's funny how things can look unfamiliar so quickly.
We met at State of Grace which was so perfect and trendy and oo-la-la that it almost hurt.
Snapped a quick pic before I left... even the entry is perfect.
A lovely private-ish dining area, excellent food and eh...a little spotty service. Hey! You can't have everything, I guess.
There was a queso fundido to start, although it did not come with serving ware or plates. Details. The second time we requested plates and spoons, someone actually came and assembled tortillas full of yummy cheese for us.
We both had a Shrimp Cobb salad with Green Goddess dressing which I am pretty sure is a throwback to the sixties, but Man! it was good.
The cute lady at the table next to us snapped our picture. She had a delightful English(?)/ Caribbean(?) accent. She did a good job, no?!
My fabulous luncheon partner, Ann.

And look who my new writing buddy is- at least for the time being.
No more wild animals out my window but instead I have sweet Ruby sitting next to me.
Moving all the furniture and animals around, chinchilla included. (Stinky the turtle also got a new location but not near me. Not yet.)
Ruby Roo. Never dreamed chinchillas had such personalities.
Carlos and Ruby love to play chase.
