Rainy Days and Mondays

Hi Sweet Friends! Raise your hand if you love Mondays. No one? Maybe it's because of long held impressions of the end of the weekend and you haven't completed your homework or you have to (sigh) go back to work to a job you hate.

I am fortunate in that I am retired and don't have a set schedule. But I still have those same feelings as you may have. So how do I overcome the Monday Blues? I went to lunch with my darling husband at Ted's Montana Grill.

After a perfect lunch of a Bison Burger atop a myriad (bet you didn't know I knew a big word like that, did you?) of greens, bacon and cheddar cheese, we headed to the movie theater to see " Beasts of the Southern Wild". It sure took my mind off of my own self.

It is a story about love and survival. That is all I will say. Here is the trailer if you care to watch:

Have a lovely week! I will catch up with your blog this week! Peace and Love!

Lunch at Brio's

My sweet husband and I were asked to assist as ushers at the ordinations of 3 priests at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Atlanta last month. It was a joy and a privilege to be there. Since I was working, I didn't have a chance to take photos with my good camera. So...no pictures of the church.

Since we  had been on our feet for quite a long time (several hours) we were all exhausted at the end. It was a surprise when we were told that lunch reservations had been made for the eight of us at Brio's. We were tempted to just beg off and go home to rest before our ushering at St. Catherine's. 

Please excuse these photos taken with my cell phone. 

We had a delightful lunch....so delicious and the ambiance was wonderful.
 

Citrus Garden Salad

Fresh linguine tossed with spinach, peppers, carrots, scallions, basil, cilantro, dried cranberries, candied pecans, lemon vinaigrette and topped with a spicy citrus glaze.

9.95 Add Chicken or Shrimp - 12.25

This was the best salad I have ever had in my life. And there was crusty bread and butter on the table too.

Grilled Chicken Club

Applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, Provolone and roasted tomato mayonnaise 11.95

This is what my husband, Jim, ordered.

 

Sliced Steak Bruschetta*

With Gorgonzola Dolce, arugula, fennel, charred tomato, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Tuscan Italian dressing 12.75

I didn't get pictures of everyone's dishes but they all were so attractively presented.

Maureen, what was that? It sure looks good!

Outside, we waited for valet to bring us our cars. It was lovely. Thanks, Gary and Diane!
