Takeout dinner for 15 tonight from Carmelos on Center Street in Lewiston...Carmelo's foccacia with gorgonzola and carmelized onions...love those carmelized babies. Next the Carmelo's salad with the little "yam sticks" and his awesome dressing. And the main course Vodka Penne with chicken. Oh my it was good...kept going back for just a little bit more. To finish off the night, we decided on a fun dessert. A sundae bar with a base of Hibbard's vanilla custard, soft pack...mmmmmm good.

Since I last wrote, enjoyed a birthday celebration for our daughter's 21st...at the Rue. They had just reopened after a 3 week hiatus. It never ceases to please...food, ambience, service and wine list and to be greeted with familiarity. Our family had a thoroughly enjoyable leisurely meal start to finish and how kind of our publisher and his wife to gift us with a fine bottle of wine !! Oh yes, the Rue..

Vicki and I are having a fun time doing Mexican...we have so much information to impart... Amazing how many new Mexican places have sprung up in the last year. Holy Guacamole !!

Question for all of you Mexican food lovers, in particular, you, Mark...is is true that this cute little Mexican place on Connecticut St is only open until 6PM??? Arrived tonight at 6:50 and found it closed. Margy

We just had the clam foccacia at La Hacienda on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls. If you like thin, New York style pizza, run, don't walk to this long standing restaurant. A favorite for many years, after you've tried their pizza dreams of thin crust will dance in your head. The clam pizza was thin, crisp, spicy, and perfect. vm
