Jeni and I had a nice weekend as we got out and about and experienced the flavors of summer.
Saturday,we went to the Farmers Market in Redlands Ca.We savored the many fruits and vegetables they offered and the beautiful bouquets of flowers they sold were bright and very aromatic.The market was in the quaint down town area with lots of shops and eateries.Jeni had her eye on eating at one of the cool little eateries but I found an old favorite,"Denny's".It's always open!I felt a little guilty,but I'm a" simple man"!
We did some shopping after brunch and checked on some places we might take our Grandaughter Alyx to when she arrives.I don't remember if I posted it but Alyx is flying down to San Diego today to spend a few days with my brother Gary and his wife Martha then she will be down here next week with us
Speaking of San Diego,thats where Jeni and I headed Sunday.Gary and Martha were taking Alyx to lunch and invited us to join them.We jumped on the 15 and in an hour and a half we were there.They took us to the" Brazilian Barbecue"in the downtown area of S.D.It's a buffet style bistro but upscale.And my favorite part,"all you can eat!"! You get your plate and get what you like then,when your ready for the main course(MEAT),you turn this little salt shaker looking thing on your table over from red to green(it's green on one end and red on the other)and here comes the waiters with each one carrying a different kind of meat.Top sirloin,bacon wrapped fillet Minon,tri tip,pork tenderloin,beef ribs,chicken,and on and on .13 types in all.they have it on this rod looking thing and they carve off a slice of meat and you take these little ice tongs and grab it and put it on your plate!Some of the best food we have ever tasted.And they just keep coming til you turn that little salt shaker thing over to Red!It was terrific.After we" waddled"out of the restaurant,overly satisfied,we went across the street to the downtown mall for a little shopping as Alyx had some spending money that was "burning a hole in her pocket"!After that we headed back to Gary and Martha's house which sets on a hill overlooking the canyon below and part of the city.We just love their place.We caught up on current events,visited with Alyx,and my favorite, we had "Ice cream"! Before we knew it,it was 8pm.So we motored back to Riverside.
I dreamed of Meat-meat -and more meat last night.and this morning I still have visions of that darn little salt shaker thing being green,and waiters lined up bringing meat-meat and more meat! JEN! wheres the "fiber pills"!
