“Are you from Texas?” A guest at the table asks Layla this while she's going through her mental list of the next several processes in line to achieve optimum server function. As she repeats one table’s order in her head, she's thinking about another table’s missing duck breast, the wine bottle she needed to retrieve from the cellar downstairs, and the dessert menu she needed to drop at a table of women whose teeth, she could assume, were beginning to sweeten by the sounds of curiosity about their dinner's epilogue. As her eyes flit around the room, she sees the bar-top is a full queue of drinks that are getting warm while the service bartender is all elbows- shaking like his lil’ life depends on it. She can't tell if it’s condensation from the shaker tins or sweat flying but it is wet back there. She's relieved to notice someone is clearing one of her tables for her then immediately less relieved that every table in sight needs either water or bread and people are fanning themselves with menus. She hears more drink tickets printing and bows her head to give the bartender psychic regards.

Lenny's in Clearwater, Florida
I love making good memories and I love eating good food. When you go to a good restaurant with someone you love, to me that's creating a good memory. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way and some restaurants have to suffer someone having a bad memory of the place simply because the company that came together weren't in harmony. Recently I went to Lenny's restaurant in Clearwater, Florida with my husband. We were on our way to the mall, had some time to kill and we were feeling hungry. I knew we had passed Lenny's while we were driving up Highway 19 and I suggested we go there for breakfast while we waited for the mall to open. We had just stocked our kitchen with groceries, so it wasn't about the food. It was about having a nice time and making a memory. However, Lenny's food is delicious and so worth whatever they charge.

Night for The Stars
Charlotte Henderson was looking for her little black book. She had all her notes and her recipes in that book. It was her little book of treasures. Over the years she had accumulated recipes from different countries. It had a wealth of information. Now, where had she put it she wondered. It had taken 10 years to gather all that information and for her the book was priceless.
