Can You Hear Me Now?

Ok, gang. I've been posting here for almost two months now and it's getting lonely out here. Did you ever notice that at the bottom of each and every post on the line that says "Posted by DeborahB" there is also a note that says (usually) "0 Comments"? That's where you can have your say!! Click on that link to read comments and post your own thoughts, rants, or off-the-wall remarks.

Give it a try. Use it today to let me know if there are any food allergies or other dietary things I need to know about as I'm working on the menus for Saturday's picnic or Sunday evening's dinner. Or send me an email if you prefer to divulge your dietary irregularities in private.

Thanks!

P.S. Just think . . . in two months you'll be in Louisville!

For Your Dining Pleasure

On Sunday evening we'll be dining at Volare, an excellent Italian Ristorante. (Trust me--the food and service are far superior to their web site!) Volare is located on historic Frankfort Avenue. An addition to their building was just completed providing a private dining room perfect for family reunions. Menu choices and other details to come. I only hope that the owner, Mr. Hospitality himself, will be there to greet us.
