Foodies!


The paper today has a story about a cruise liner that hit a rock and capsized off of Tuscany. I don't need to tell you which country that is in because we all know it's about Italy and food. Certainly a scary experience and sad for the tourists that were killed but I can't get over that the story had to include the details of the food being eaten when the shudder and crash were felt by the diners.

Hammer, 65, told The Associated Press that she was eating her first course, an appetizer of cuttlefish, sauteed mushrooms and salad, on her first night aboard her first-ever cruise, which was a gift to her and her husband, Gert, from her local church where she volunteers.

As in: "Besides that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"

I'm glad the the locals on the small island opened up their homes and basically every building they had to take in the survivors. I would want to come back again in the daytime and thank my rescuers, maybe a year or so later. Perhaps with a bit more garlic this time.
