| This is one of my favorite art pieces done by Art Head Studio...........could it be any clearer... hello TV newscasters, it is raining outside during a hurricane.......go inside. Who stands outside in a hurricane. The sensationalism all weekend with Hurricane Irma was over the top. There are people who lost everything and their lives were in peril...we don't need storm chasers being blown around searching for their 15 minutes of fame. TV people you want a story, cover the clean-up, and help expedite the funds to arrive and help. The people in Houston are cleaning up toxic sludge from their houses, and in need of help. It may not be dramatic, but certainly critical and necessary. My mother used to say "an empty truck makes a lot of noise". When news coverage is broadcasting 24/7 there really is nothing more to say. You have exhausted what's news worthy! |

IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE

DINNER WITH FRIENDS
IN MY OPINION..... I had dinner last night with friends at La Tavola in Grandview, Ohio. The atmosphere is rather "old school" Italian, however the restaurant is not old.
The food was mundane with a limited menu, and the service was adequate, but not great.
I did not order a salad, however the salads did look fresh, and well prepared. We shared bruschetta which was nice. It was served cold, which I prefer to have warm. The house bread they served with olive oil was delicious....great salty crust.
I ordered gnocchi, several ordered spaghetti with meat balls, and one ordered chicken parmesean by default, as he really wanted veal parmesean, which was not on the menu.
We had to ask for parmesean cheese which was not freshly grated.
The server was pleasant, but we never saw him again until we asked about dessert. We had to ask......don't servers know that if they sell dessert their tip will probably increase!
We did order several desserts which we all shared. The lemon tart was delicious, the tiramisu was very light and tasty, and the chocolate cake was fine. I ordered decaf coffee which was lukewarm and burnt. All in all, I would not rush back to this restaurant.
There is, however nothing better than having dinner with old friends, even if the dinner is just OK.........."it really doesn't matter so much what is on the table, as who is in the chair".
