Dining on my own, I was greeted warmly:
For yourself?
Notice she did NOT say:
Just for yourself? (As if a woman dining alone is a woeful soul to be pitied)
So refreshing!
Immediately I relaxed.
Welcomed.
I lingered.
The pasta special enticed me into Fiore's.
Despite devouring the ENTIRE lasagne, the tiramisu
whispered my name, as did the decaf cappuccino.
I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a dining experience
as I did at Fiore's today.
SO R-E-L-A-X-I-N-G
Luckily I don't eat like that everyday, but every so often
it's the best Rx for whatever ails you.
Oh the Ruby Relaxer was a delicious cocktail.
To the hostess, and chef,
Thank you.
