……………Sunday, early evening, I went to dinner with my friends Alicia and her husband Mike……..We went to a restaurant on the water called….”THE WHEEL”……….Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t good so we couldn’t dine outside, but from the inside there were beautiful views of the water…….For our first course Alicia had a huge chopped salad, Mike had the steak tartar, and I had the beet salad with goat’s cheese and chopped pistachio nuts….For our main course Alicia and I had the pork chop with a peach compote…..and Mike had the scallops…..It was all delicious!……..After dinner we went back to my home for desert……….I made an Oreo cookie chocolate cheesecake……We talked and talked, and planned a trip together in the fall….We are going to Paris….the French wine country, and a few days in Strasburg!…..I haven’t been to Paris in EIGHT years so I’m really looking forward to the trip!!
