Steven was off today. We had fun. A friend of his (one of his nurses)
came over to visit. She's from Jefferson County. I recognized her. This
dear soul helped me out when I first got home from the hospital. She
actually helped me shave once. Yep. She was one of my keepers. I
recognized her. She's seen me naked but so has all of the North American
continent. She has kind of a southern drawl thing going and it's very
hillbillyish. Anyway, I loved her instantly.
Kathy and Steven went to Plaza Frontenac and Crestwood Plaza. They shopped
the sales. Kathy's SUV was full when they returned. She was hungry and I
suggested lunch. She insisted on this *new* place she heard about, "Sweet
Tomatoes." I could feel my skin crawling. A salad buffet is not what I
had in mind.
Kathy is a doll so I changed into the appropriate sweats and tennis shoes.
Off we went and I was pleasantly surprised. No kids in sight. Not one. It
might have been the time of day but the salad bar thingy was high up and
brats can not reach it easily.
They had signature salads so I took a scoop of the Santa Fe salad, it was
good but dripping in dressing. The rest of my plate was devoted to mixed
greens, red onion slivers, a ton of bleu cheese, black olives and a
dressing of olive oil and a red wine vinegar. It was divine.
The chicken noodle soup was good. Huge amounts of chicken in broth with
big noodles. I had 2 cups of it. The house chili was blase'. A lot like
the Wendy's fast food chain. I was disappointed they were not offering the
cream of mushroom soup. There were a couple of other soup choices which I
did not taste.
Their pasta sucked. Enuf said on that. Their Blueberry muffins were
wonderful.
Basically I ate 2 salads, 2 cups of chicken noodle soup, 1 cup of chili and
about 5 blueberry muffins.
I'll go back.
