What to Choose?

The whole time I was riding my bike tonight, I kept myself going by thinking about more bread pudding which I will have guilt-free since I worked it off already.

I haven't decided on my other two courses at Cowboy Ciao, though. My friend T told me the Chopped Salad was amazing and that I must have it. Unfortunately, it has salmon in it. Blech. I think I'll have to wait and see if the soup entices me else it will be salad for the First Course. The Testosterone Salad for the Second Course is where I'm leaning right now. The Bourbon-Soaked Cherries are calling my name.

Here's what's on the menu:

First Course (choice of):
• Daily Soup
• Ciao Mixed Greens with Tomatoes, Dried Cranberries, Pepitas and Gorgonzola
• Chef Bernie’s Unusual, Addictive, Original (and widely imitated), Stetson Chopped Salad with Smoked Salmon

Second Course (choice of):
• Testosterone Salad with Port-Charred Tenderloin, Bourbon-Soaked Cherries and Maytag Blue Dressing
• Crispy Black Tiger Shrimp with Sweet Corn Grits and Chile Sauce
• Exotic Mushroom Pan Fry With Avocado, Tomato, Cotija Cheese and Grilled Polenta

Third Course (choice of):
• Boda-licious Bread Pudding: with Dried Cherries, Cranberries and Pine Nuts, Honey/Orange Ice cream and Praline Sauce
• Elvis at the Diner: Banana Cake with Peanut Butter/Chocolate
Mousse, Malted Ice Cream in Chocolate Cream soda, Fleur de sel Potato Chips
• Le Lap of Luxury: Lemon Tart, Lavender Shortbread Crust, Seasonal Berries in Lavender Syrup, Lemon/Lavender Crème Fraiche Ice Cream

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down.

(Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) The home improvements continued in March. More complaining from Steven continued as well. Bzzzz. Bzzzz. Party lights on the back patio. Solar lights on the driveway and front patio. Hanging the lights was easy. The front lights were more challenging. Apparently, my front yard is a shallow layer of gravel on top of packed dirt impersonating concrete. Steven ended up digging holes with a screwdriver then shoving the bases of the lights in while I followed behind and attached the actual light part. It looks great except that I think all of the batteries (yep, solar lights with batteries) have worn out now so I need to replace them. It sure made my house easier to find at night. As is my way, I waited until the last minu

(Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) My birthday is in May. I don't make a big deal out of it because I don't want to do the math. Seriously. It's just not possible that I'm this old. Celebrating in a quarantine is right up my alley. However, my friends and family thought differently. Birthday cards from around the country. My friend Jim started a secret (to me) Facebook event and asked mutual friends to mail me a card. Funny side story, he put the wrong ZIP for my address. I imagine the post office staff in 85033 enjoyed processing those forwards a lot. It was very thoughtful and fun and my pals Brenda and Scott sent me a new game to play as well. Have I mentioned lately that my friends are better humans than I? They are. Drop offs and
