"Dining on my own, I was greeted warmly:\nFor yourself?\n\nNotice she did NOT say:\nJust for yourself? (As if a woman dining alone is a woeful soul to be pitied)\n\nSo refreshing!\nImmediately I relaxed. \nWelcomed.\nI lingered. \nThe pasta special enticed me into Fiore's.\n\nDespite devouring the ENTIRE lasagne, the tiramisu \nwhispered my name, as did the decaf cappuccino.\n\nI cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a dining experience\nas I did at Fiore's today.\n\nSO R-E-L-A-X-I-N-G\n\nLuckily I don't eat like that everyday, but every so often \nit's the best Rx for whatever ails you.\n\nOh the Ruby Relaxer was a delicious cocktail.\n\nTo the hostess, and chef, \n\nThank you."^^ . .
