Forward to Today

2006-06-12T13:43:00.000-05:00

A picture that was taken at the restaurant today to contrast how we looked before and after.

A Blast from the Past

2006-06-12T09:28:00.000-05:00

I found this picture of what we looked like before. We don't look like this anymore!

Adding the inevitable counter

2006-06-11T23:29:00.000-05:00

Hope everyone had a terrific Sunday!

My family and fellow coworker's family did the local waterpark together.

Sunburns abound!!

What a night...

2006-06-09T22:29:00.000-05:00

Wow, what a wonderful Friday night.

Tonight's specials: Veal Marsala - that made me hungry when I first saw it, even though I had already eaten.

Paella - which I adore. A total favorite for anyone who tried it. Really, how can anyone go wrong with shrimp, scallops, fish, chicken, and chorizo in saffron butter broth over Basmati rice?

Haddock topped with apples, crab and hazelnuts. Yum!

I know I promised pics - coming soon!

When Computers Crash

2006-06-06T21:59:00.000-05:00

C program run

C program crash

C programmer Quit.

Why, oh why, do the computers alway hiccup when I am here? Total system lockup. I know the help desk at Aloha is tired of hearing my voice. Thankfully it happened before dinner service.

For dinner tonight a delicious pork chop with blackberry cranberry compote that brought tears to the eyes.

Me? I ate a Caesar salad with shrimp. Yum.

Hopefully pics coming tomorrow.

Just getting started

2006-06-06T17:48:00.000-05:00

Well, from the beginning of an idea -

to a concept -

to an actual restaurant.

We did it. We have been open for three weeks and things are settling in nicely. I hope this is going to be a home for all of us to share a little something of ourselves. What we are, and what we go through; tiny bits of what it is like to work, work hard, for a dream.

It has become our dream too.
