Every once in a while one stumbles upon a simple life changing thing or idea. This is one of those. I slipped the magnet in my phone case a few years back and now I can’t live with out it. My phone is always in view, I hang it when I get in the car so I don’t leave home without it. I do use the phone in the car more often than I should and I am a WAZE addict. Mostly I ignore the waze advice and try to beat its estimate home.

Maurice
With a young Hugh Grant, Maurice, adapted from a novel by E.M. Forster about Gay love at the turn of the 20th century. How far we have come. What a heartbreaking and thought provoking tale.
Before The Fall
I couldn’t put it down. Not because of the mystery but because I loved the people and i loved the writing. The main character was a man which is unusual for me and I worried for him and just really needed to know what was going to happen with him. I hesitate to tell the story as I prefer to pick up a book that has been recommended and read it with no idea what its about. Interested in more, click the book and it will link you to amazon.
Another Wednesday
I do love BBQ. And Dickey’s did not disappoint. The pork and brisket may have been too moist if that’s possible. All three sauces- sweet, hot, regular- were good, really good. As was the brownie I had for dessert.
“What could they do better?” I asked myself. Not much.. maybe clear the table for me as this is a self serve self clear joint.
For You Judie
My friend Judie admired my pants the other day, I told her I loved them. Cool comfy, good for any day, any way though, they do need ironing. At the same time I am learning how to link this website to amazon. And this is the result!!!!!
Blue Ribbon Sushi
Beautiful! Delicious! A Perfect 10!
At the Plymouth hotel Miami Beach. No valet. Street parking. 
Fi’lia
One of the most well balanced Ceasar Salads I have ever had.
And here is the remnants of the lamb sandwich .
At the new SLS Brickell.
We enjoyed a really relaxing lunch. It was one of those menus where you really had no idea what you were ordering but the waitress explained each dish with gusto and the food was good, the place cheerful and we did get cloth napkins.
Marie Belle Chocolate
484 Broome Street
And Its all about the box. The chocolate are very good and really beautiful, but you actually need to pay for that box. The place has rules. They will sell you a maximum of 2 chocolates at $2.50 apiece, If you want more, You need to buy the box. At Marie Belle the box is the “concept”.
Do the Math.. 4 chocolates at $2.50 each cost $10. But if you want to buy 4 Chocolate you will need to purchase a box of 4 for $20.
Needless to say this did not sit well with me and after speaking to the young manager who refused to give me his name, nor did he seem to know the words “I’m very sorry” , I eventually walked out with a free $45 box of chocolates. Don’t ask. And yes, that would be $40 worth of chocolate and a $5 box! I will go back, to try the hot chocolate. I hear it is great… I may bring back my box and see what they do? hehehehehe
OSLO
I have started wonderful visits to NYC. Tonight I saw OSLO and I must say it was overwhelming. I don’t think it will playing for long but if you can, make a special trip to see it .
I had never been to the Theater at Lincoln Center and I couldn’t have been more pleased. Not only do you get to leave the theater and see the people and fountain, but with stadium seating there doesn’t appear to be a bad seat in the house.
Teuscher’s Chocolate
At about $4.75 a bite I thought it was crazy but went in to buy for a friend. Then I tasted a sample. It took a moment but it was $6.25 worth of pleasure. “Teuscher’s” I was dreaming the name in my sleep.
