I would be appalled at the choice of food, of course, (One rib per year is all I could handle) but the company of all of you carnivores reads like an adventure not to be missed. Will pass this along to Mary, my Chicagoan neighbor and friend, she will feel nostalgic for her city all over again, I'm sure.tasteofbeiruthttp://www.tasteofbeirut.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-14016802520821971662011-06-16T12:19:12.311-04:002011-06-16T12:19:12.311-04:00I could have sworn I left a comment on this post b...I could have sworn I left a comment on this post because that is quite a reunion you all had.

Off went the computer and out we went.<br /><br />While I was sitting in the office, waiting for Marion, I just <b>could not</b> stop thinking about your reunion escapade, those bubble quotes AND, those fried devil-led eggs. I'm sure anyone in the office was thinking "naughty" things when they saw flashes of smiles as I reminisced this post. Wonderful!<br /><br />As delicious as the food may have been, lardo crostini included, I bet, the highlight of your day was being back with your pals:) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-79720116987693156822011-06-15T18:53:19.143-04:002011-06-15T18:53:19.143-04:00Although I live in LA now, Chicago is my foodie st...Although I live in LA now, Chicago is my foodie stompin' ground.

Well, with the awfulness of the show and the recurring visions of that four hour marinated meat frenzy (not to mention lingering doubts I was having about the white sports jacket with bold vertical black stripes that I unfortunately felt compelled to buy on sale over the weekend--and can't return), I found myself involuntarily screaming, "MY GOD!
