Today I had to rush off from water exercise class to get over to Wells Road for lunch. The Over 50 Lunch Bunch was gathering at Rosina's Italian Restaurant, our first time dining there. I was the last one in the door, though I was a few minutes earlier than the set time of noon. From the menu I chose an order of garlic knots to have as an appetizer and to sop up my sauce from my meal. For 16 of us, the service was not bad, considering there were only two waitresses. I can't tell you how many folks were at work in the kitchen but the pizza ovens seemed busy enough. And, we were not the only customers in the restaurant!
My red purse marks the spot where I was seated
We had three men dining with us, the rest were women (Gordon had left the table before I took the picture). Judy J. was seated across from me. We frequently dined at Aron's Pizza before attending Bible Information Classes several years ago. I know how much she loves garlic and she was blown away by my garlic knots. They reeked! I took along more than half of my lasagna and three of the knots. When I got home from lunch, I put the knots in a Ziploc bag to have another time. Later on, I went into the kitchen for something and was surprised that I could smell the knots right through the bag! I went back to my room and brushed my teeth as I am sure the garlic smell lingers in my mouth and breath. That means nothing but good!
This evening Justin and I went to have dinner at Saigon Tokyo (Koko's). He gets paid on Mondays and likes to eat out then but he was too pooped to go last night. Tracy makes a Tuesday Special but neither of us ordered, having our usual teriyaki chicken and fried rice. Most of mine came home as did some of Justin's so our fridge is going to smell interesting in the morning! Leftovers for dinner tomorrow or the next day, for sure.
