A Long Lost Menu



Dear Friends,

Dear Readers,

As many of you may already know,

I just endured

the pain and injustices

of moving.

If there could possibly be

any upside to all this upheaval,

it would be going through ones belongings

and stumbling upon

lost treasures.

If

you ever

have to move,

I hope you will make

some wonderful discoveries.


I found this menu

of a meal I created years ago.


Celebration Dinner

Saturday August 15, 1992


Peppered Seared Rare Tuna
