OTOH, I know people who go there annually or even more often, so clearly they're doing something right. <br /><br />Sounds like the Steinbergs will remember this evening for some time. <br /><br />Coeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06130250489695215525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-9517182937598505232018-06-08T21:34:46.228-05:002018-06-08T21:34:46.228-05:00Even a great meal comes to an end after the conten...Even a great meal comes to an end after the contents make their way through your body.

While the Republic is in grave danger you should not feel guilty about the excess. Pardon the interruption but I can't get a different thought out of my head. I believe torture has no place in a country claiming to be christian and democratic. Our president disagrees, avowing that torture is productive. Now I am not saying that he should be tortured to give up the secret that connects him to Putin, I just think a waterboarding session for that purpose would involve about 2 cups of liquid to get him chatting like Rush Limbaugh about feminazis.

The place and food and staff were so full of themselves that I had to stop off at a Burger King to get something to eat on the way home. No lie. It is sad what happened to him and I have to wonder if things were already going downhill for him when I ate there.
