Hello, one and all.
Firstly, the most important. DR Elmore, Anthony and I had a wonderful time last evening. We had dinner at a lovely, quiet place called Wai Cafe? (pronounced Why although I don't know why, perhaps because a ? is part of the name). I had an excellent tortellini with salmon, Elmore had crab cakes and Anthony had gazpacho and a mushroom and a chicken crepe. We then went back to our apartment where much talk and laughter and dish ensued. We desserted on lovely Blueberry Cake, Peach Cake (from the Union Square greenmarket) and Haggen Daz vanilla ice cream. Ummm, ummm, ummm. Anthony and I will have more of the cake this evening (we had lovely broiled salmon, saffron rice and fresh steamed string beans, again from the Union Square greenmarket, for dinner) and perhaps watch something on television or video.
Much was learned about DR Elmore (I won't spill beans here ;-) and much was learned by him about us. He was the first guest to our newly re-decorated apartment and he did express some slight jealousy about the fact that we actually have a separate kitchen (oh, those poor people who live in studios). All in all, a grand time was had by all. Since DR Elmore works in the neighborhood (on world famous 14th Street, site of the long gone Harmonia Gardens) we will most likely see more of him in the future. A welcome thing, indeed.
And now, I must be off to ride the exercise bike, shower and then have our dessert (it's because I ride the exercise bike that I can have dessert, doncha know).
