Our Family: Connecting

My 10 year old, Sienna, had a report/PowerPoint to do for her class…a restaurant review. Where’d she choose to go, why Benehana’s of course.  The food IS good and fun to watch…they cook it right in front of you, chop, cook, season, all of it. The chef’s like to flip the food around and make a big show out of banging around their spatulas…ours flipped the ends of the shrimp he cut off into his pockets and onto the top of his chef’s hat…lots of fun…pretty good food.

Most interesting, we shared a “table” with another family…sort of funny to feel that barrier broken down, sit right next to a total stranger and eat…hear what they order, hear them eat…sort of interesting. I’m sure there’s some sort of spiritual “thing” here, but I’m too tired to think of it.

Here we are awaiting our chef…

My brother-in-law talks about his new book, “The Concise Guide to Sounding Smart at Parties.” Check out a preview of the book (due to hit shelves in October) HERE. Listen to the PODcast HERE.

Enjoy!

What are you going to do for vacation (or holiday, as my European friends say) this year, give us some ideas for the future!

Our standard (and quite necessary) is a trip to the ocean, usually Capitola/Santa cruz area and a trip to Lake Tahoe to camp–these are “no miss” each year for us.

So check out all our links and tell me what you’d like to see on this page.  Leave any ideas or links you’d like me to add.
