Yesterday and today I made all my yearly checkup appointments. Sise for the blocked arteries, the heart doc, teeth to get the new partial correctly fitted, and the derm doc. I can do all but the derm man via phone. Two wanted me to do “facetime.” I told them I had ZOOM, and they said they had a land line. At the end I felt like a very responsible old lady.
Covid weight has won. I announced that we were going on a diet, but we were starting out at “Casarina.” He had squid ravioli. They had taken my beet salad off the menu, but a very glorious Caprese salad made me very happy. Three kinds of very ripe tomatoes with fresh Mozzarella made for a delightful start to the evening.
For desert we both were suckered in by the Crème Brule topped cheesecake.
Since then we have been dieting. Yes, I said that. James Beard’s Spicy Chicken and his sliced tomato salad. My mouth is watering just typing those words. Joy truly can be found in old cook books.

The cheesecake looks scrumptious. I have an old cookbook probably from the 70s of nothing but cheesecakes every style every topping everything you could ever imagine and a cheesecake. Some nights I just sit and read that book like a novel. I’d love to eat out with you as you appreciateGood food.
