Dinner Break, tales from the Watt.

   A dinner that is becoming annual. A break from the backbreaking hustle and bustle of surf travel (sound of a needle across a record). Not really backbreaking. We kinda enjoy it. Great way to observe hump day during the week, be it Wednesdays or Thursdays. We stick to Maryland's Eastern Shore, if one would classify that as "travel." Surf only our coast...sorta' kook-like. We are more about the lifestyle.

And, we spare no feelings in our critique of the establishments who's fares we sample. It's all part of the Journey. Plus, it provides the fodder for this blog. This evening too, subject to rating. However, once again I digress from rambling. Our annual lasagna dinner really is a meal enjoyed as family. On the weekend. No work the next day. Weather still chilled, in the upper 30s. Water below 40F. Sun was in and out during the day. Rain was expected in the evening. No matter. Daughter and Granddaughter joined us. Target brightened the atmosphere with sprouting bulbs; perennial shoots at the ready to announce the arrival of our season. Music provided the character of the evening. When it floundered, the selection was immediately upgraded upon request. Cold bottles of Longboard Island Lager were available to wet the palette. I indulged in a couple myself.

As to the Lasagna itself...my wife's touch to a family recipe exceeded expectations. Warm Italian bread accompanied a fresh Chopped Salad that added a cool side. For dessert, Iced Italian Ricotta Cookies. Perfect with a finishing coffee. Judging by Target's plate, he was quite satisfied. I thought it was fantastic. LWatt was pleased with her results. We ended the evening relaxing in the living room...fireplace, TV, the laughter of our grandchild. Everyone comfortable. Good friends, good conversation. Family. No wonder this is becoming annual.
