I'm rethinking that waiter blog. It was funny the first couple of times I went but I just went again and am not sure now.

I'm not really into blogs and frankly, I don't get all the hoopla. There are tons of people who belong to another community I frequent and they are all blog-crazy. So many of them have LiveJournals and upon meeting someone, they'll ask if you have a LiveJournal account.

I do have a journal, but it's in a notebook and it's not stuff that I ever share with anyone. To put my private thoughts online for all the world (or the selected few that I grant access) to read seems odd.

Seems like most people grant access to friends/family. If I'm mad at Friend A, I certainly can't blog about it because she would most certainly read it. I guess that's the part I don't understand.

Or is that the point for some people to rant about others with the hope they might see themselves?

SF was very ... colorful, and a food paradise! :-) How was your Thanksgiving??

Thanksgiving dinner at Millennium was awesome!

Here's what they served up:

THE MENU, entirely vegan of course

olives and roasted peppers at the bar, DH had wine & I had a
gingery-chamomile tea

Starter: Cornucopia Medley
roasted chestnuts, artichoke pepperonata, lentil-wild rice salad, a
chutney, spicy toasted almonds, bread

Soup:
roasted corn, butternut squash and anasazi bean chowder, with grilled
oyster mushroom relish

Salad:
baby spinach and winter greens with thin sliced Fuji apples, shaved
fennel, red cabbage, a pomegranate-ginger vinaigrette, and toasted almonds

Entrees: Roasted Sweet Sumpling Squash or Wild Mushroom "Wellington"

I had the squash: roasted and filled with - chestnut cornbread
stuffing, smoked tempeh (OMG this was good), root vegetable and
shelling bean ragout, then topped with sherried parsnip cream

He had the Wellington - marinated seitan, portobello & shiitake
mushrooms, topped with a custard of truffled Yukon Gold potato,
wrapped and baked in a crisp yuba skin (the stuff "yellow bird" is
madefrom - part of tofu making I believe), and topped with porcini
mushroom gravy.

The sides that came with both entrees:
maple pecan roasted yams - oh yum.... chunks of yam, roasted in maple
something or other, with bits of pecan too

roasted shallot brassica vegetable medley - roasted shallots, garlic,
cauliflowerets, and Brussels sprouts...

cranberry-Satsuma mandarin relish - what can I say? YUM!!!
cranberries, mandarin oranges, walnuts....

Dessert:
Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with pomegranate reduction

The other choice was a chocolate pecan torta, but they ran out before
DH got his piece... so they raided the fridge and brought him a pumpkin
creme brulee
