 RH>>> until you give a report. Good incentive to get it done soon
 RH>>> after as you'll remember it better.
 NB>>> As long as I mention the meal, I'd likely give some sort of
 NB>>> report on it.  :)
 RH>> And we will enjoy reading it.
 NB>> It's coming up this weekend... dunno for sure that we'll be going to
 NB>> Olives, but I'll try to remember to at least suggest it... ;)  I'll be
 NB>> quite sad if it turns out that it is yet another one that has bit the
 NB>> dust in the time since I was last there...

 RH> Let's hope all works out this time.
 
Nope, postponed again... between my dizzies and my friend having a badly
pinched nerve in her neck, we decided to postpone 'til Thanksgiving
break... decided that would be a somewhat wiser path, although we really
wanted to do it now... Turns out she was thinking Olives, too... so, as
long as it doesn't/hasn't died in the meantime, that is the plan...  :)

 NB>> It's all in what one enjoys eating, after all...  :)  We found TR ok,
 NB>> but I would far prefer Seoul House or Cantonese House, or the Indian

 RH> Got to go where the crowd wants. In this case, we knew American food
 RH> (meat & potatoes) would be the best choice.

Yup, gotta know your territory..  ;)
 
 NB>> or Asian buffets...  Tonight our young Chinese friend Xian treated us
 NB>> to dinner at D'Mangu, another Dominican restaurant.  Pretty standard
 NB>> fare, pulled pork, rice and black beans, fried sweet plantain... not
 NB>> quite as nice as what we get at El Latino, but she prefers that one

 RH> Sounds good. There's a place here in WF called Tropical Pickin'
 RH> Chicken that's very much on that line. We've gotten take out from them
 RH> several times and not been disappointed.
 
El Latino also has a pretty good baked chicken...  :) 

 NB>> for its classier atmosphere (and for being a little warmer, as it has
 NB>> a foyer that blocks outside air from hitting the diners everytime the
 NB>> door opens).  She jokingly made the comment that I seem to prefer
 NB>> "alien" food... and I had to agree...  ;)

 RH> Alien to a lot of folks but good as home cooking to you. (G)

She knows well my predilection for Asian etc foods over American...
She's still working on her English... I'm sure that what she intended to
say was foreign foods, but yes, alien to many folk around here..  :)

... We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Common Sense?
