………………….My nephew Matty, my brother Mauro’s youngest child, and his girlfriend of many years, Michelle, came to spend the weekend with Uncle Lou………They arrived about 2pm…..The plan was to have some snacks first, and then go to the store “TERRAIN” in Westport Ct……We had a 6pm dinner reservation at “Casa Me”, a relatively new, extremely popular restaurant in Westport, which was near Terrain. I hadn’t been there yet, so I thought it would be a fun place for us to experience together…..When we got on the road, in the pouring rain. the traffic on the highway was horrendous….bumper to bumper. It took so long we decided to skip Terrain for the next day, and go straight to the restaurant…..We found a spot in a packed parking lot and went into the packed restaurant…[photo bottom left]……They had outside dining under an awning, and the tables were almost all full, but it was damp and we really didn’t want to sit outside…….Uncle Lou screwed up!…..I thought our reservation was for 6pm, but the hostess told me it was made for 5pm [she was correct], and they didn’t have anything until 9pm….3 hours later….I said thanks, but no thanks…..I knew another relatively new restaurant in Westport, so we went. I noticed through the window, as we pulled into the lot, that the host was a young woman….so I sent Matty in to see if there was a table avail? I figured when she saw this extremely handsome, 6’6″, hazel eyed young man with salt and pepper hair come in, she couldn’t turn him away! He came out with two thumbs up! She squeezed us in!….I was right…he charmed her even thought she was fully booked!….[photos top and bottom center, and top right]……The dinner was wonderful…..Sometimes lemons do turn into lemonade……I thanked the hostess profusely and gave her a nice tip!…….We all knew we had RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE waiting for us at home……We got into our pjs, and started to watch the new movie…..”TWISTERS”……half way though we paused it…..We all went to the kitchen….I whipped up some fresh whipped cream and cut pieces of the cake….upstairs we went…cheesecake in hand, and finished watching the movie………….Both the movie and the cheesecake were FABULOUS!….We all went to bed happy campers…..Tomorrow was another day!
