Finally had bread and pasta and vodka again tonight after a week off. SO much happier now.

Had our regular waiter at my regular Italian restaurant. The bill reflected approximately half the alcohol consumed. The tip was quite generous in reflection of said fact. Being a regular certainly has its benefits.

Oh, and the waiter started the conversation by mentioning that he saw the segment on NY1 about miles that had me in it. :cool:

Mmm - that is such a cool restaurant!^;)

I agree I did miss my bread fix for the last week . However I did find a good brand of Slivovitz (plum brandy) which is Kosher for passover to satisfy my quest for a drink (its only 80 proof ) .

There are actually a couple good vodkas that are kosher in my book (all kosher ingredients and process but no heksher): Chopin and Ciroc. But they just aren't the same flavor as my beloved Kettle One.

I cannot really complain about food for the week. We made some absolutely delicious meals. But still, no bread, pasta or rice is rough. I survive just fine, but it is definitely "work" to make it through.

You know it's close to summer when you have a hankerin' for a cold beer!:D

EWR-ANU on the weekend specials. At $275 not a huge bargain, but 2x daily flights and way cheaper than the normal published fares. If I wasn't GEG'ing it up I'd be all over that.

I considered it, but Antigua hotels seem to be pretty pricey.

ETA: Nevermind. I'm getting ANU confused with another island I was looking at earlier today.

Desire for beer knows no seasonal limitations. :-:

Sadly had to cancel my tkt for this weekend to DEN/COS -- esp. after getting a 5-day EUA!:(

True, but I am generally a wine/champagne drinker!;) So, beer is not a typical beverage of choice, for me!:rolleyes:

I'm going to guess we didn't have your usual waiter at the micro do the other week with FT Lurker and mnmag judging by your reaction of "yep we did order all of that."

I'm really hoping that my son moves on from his 'don't want to stay w/dad' phase -- I'm starting to feel a l'il stranded!:eek:

On the bright side, I've got my first free Hyatt night (in the current promo)!^

Due to 'diamond trial' & need to book stays -- I converted rest of the free nts earned in last promo - to points!:rolleyes:

I had two Guinness with dinner.

How does one get a Diamond Match/Trial/Challenge with Hyatt? I'm thinking of trying them out (made my 25 stays with SPG, am cleaning out my HHonors account soon, and like teh Hyatt promo).
