I love to eat in Italian restaurants. The following poem from How to Build a Better Mousetrap: Recollections and Reflections of a Family Caregiver explains what I like to eat and notes that unlike the Italians, I don’t drink wine with my meal.
An Italian Meal Without Wine
I love to eat seafood fettuccini Alfredo,
taste the shrimp, crab, scallops
in a rich, creamy sauce
on a bed of fettuccini noodles,
slurp the noodles into my mouth,
savor the flavor,
garnish it with garlic bread,
chase it down with water.
What kind of restaurants do you like: Italian, Mexican, Chinese? When you were growing up, did your family eat out often or just once in a blue moon when you could afford it? Do you remember any favorite dishes you liked to order?

We used to eat out maybe twice a year, on Mother's and Father's Day. Often at a restaurant called Po Folks, man that was my favorite! Lot of seafood and stuff like that. I therefore love eating shrimp. I can put away some Italian also, such that I sometimes think I am half Italian. Smiles. Lasagna, spaghetti, you name it.
ReplyDeleteHi John, I also like lasagna, spaghetti, and pizza. My husband Bill and I sometimes order pizza from Domino's, and they make really good cheesy bread. Thanks for posting.
