My plate overfloweth


One of the benefits of being on the road in Chicagoland is the opportunity to dine with old pals. Last night Panda!!!! met up with Eden's Crush, Texy Lady, Lens and her hubby, Chembot for a lovely and large dinner at one of those chain restaurants that serves a trough of food per person.

With entree names like Lens's "macho salad" and my ginormous double pork chop with cornbread-sausage stuffing and a blob of purple, later identified as cabbage, it's no wonder Americans are so ... large.

We talked about old friends, new jobs, Rosh Hashanah, Chicago winters, work conferences, method cleaning products and people who dine with bluetooth devices in their ears.

Even though these visits are few and far-between and much too brief, it was great catching up with my old pals and gorging myself on cornbread-sausage stuffing!
