Repost: Quizás, Quizás, Quizás

I thought it would be appropriate to add a post from a previous entry that was in the archives. Sometimes people change and not always for the better.... Sometimes being too selfish is not always a solution. Sometimes words can hurt. Sometimes being too 'playful' is perceived as being insensitive. Sometimes lack of good conversations makes it boring. Sometimes when intentions can't be read/perceived are seen as wasting each other's time. There are many "sometimes", but I'm only interested in this time. I look for genuineness, integrity, dignity, intelligence, honesty, wit, humor and the list goes on....but I'm too lazy to write more so some reminders I think would be befitting and useful:

How to be a good lover...

Be interested. Someone who gives off vibes of not giving a shit, well obviously the other person isn't going to either. If you're not interested, you're wasting your time and their's. Talk about rude.

Be sincere. You can say nice things, but make them mean something. Even if you're saying something they don't want to hear, it's better than lying. You'll also receive their respect for standing your grounds and saying your mind.

Be loving. You don't have to be in love to be loving. You don't have to be committed or seriously involved. To be loving is to have your precious attention solely focused on the person in front of you, to listen to them, to touch them, hold them and kiss them.

Be tactful. There is no need for awkward moments. Have a goal in your mind, get to it, even if you have to circumambulate. If you have something in mind, there will be no awkward moments.

Be sweet. Anyone can be nice, but only a few can be sweet. Flowers and candy are often clichés, but hey, they're tried and true and better than nothing at all.

Be happy. Smile. Laugh. Happiness is a contagious thing that's too few and far between the hectic life of too much business and not enough pleasure. Everyone wants to be with someone who makes them laugh.

Be intelligent. No high IQ's are needed, just good conversation that bounces back and forth.

Be unselfish. Give. Give gifts, give time, give pleasure, when you can, where you can, with what you can.

I'm sure there's a million more, but let's just stop here for now.

I remembered I sent the same list once to my lover years ago in a very long email. It still makes me feel good whenever I think about it...the whole thing, definitely a rarity. I wonder if he remembers, he must since he has a good memory. I sigh when I lingered on memories here and there.

Maybe I should be a vegetarian....

Haute Dish

This was the second time I've been to Haute Dish. I chose this restaurant mainly because I couldn't get the right reservation times at 112 Eatery or Restaurant Alma at the last minute. I had a great time at Haute Dish the last time I went with some friends and Theresa haven.t been to the restaurants yet so I was excited to show her. We shared three courses but skipped dessert since we were going to my client's house opening right after dinner and we figured there'd be more food there.

For the first course, we got the House Salad.




For the second course, we shared the Green Noodles. Theresa never had snails before and was nervous about this dish, but I pushed her to try it, and in the end she actually liked it.





We shared the Tator Tot Haute Dish, which is a specialty of the restaurant.






I ordered a Rootbeer Float, it tasted just like its name with barely any hint of alcohol, which I like. Theresa got a glass of white wine.





My favorite girl










The honeyed whipped butter goes perfectly with the selected bread.





Salad is good but nothing notable.





Decent pasta dish but a bit tangy for my taste.





Theresa loved the Tater Tot Haute Dish, especially the potato croquettes.





Potato croquette is crispy on the outside, rich and creamy on the inside.

We had a nice birthday dinner at Haute Dish. The food was fairly good, but I enjoyed the company more than anything. We usually go try a new place once a month or so, let's see where we'll go try next. I'm avoiding writing too much since I have to pack and there are other things I have to do before my early flight. I'm not gonna sleep tonight. Have a goodnight.
