Faina: chocolate mousse, pear almondine, pumpkin, pecan, raspberry pies ... no tiramisu this week, sorry.

artlover: we'll look for your smiling face!

Kal:

Fingers slipped with this Avon Skin So Soft Age-Defying Hand Cream.

Kal: Come across town and I'll ask them to put a candle on the dessert of your choice!

WOW, with this menu my "Italian daughter" might agree to come along. (Might even convince DF too).

'Til then

O-O, Cafe Metropol is not open for dinner on Saturday, should I check for another continental food restaurant or we go chinese at R&G Lounge on Kearny? Food is fresh & delicious and there's a full bar.

Have a wonderful time! We'll be at our Wine Group Holiday Soiree and I promise to have a glass of champagne for each of you

Where is Artlover coming from? Does she need to be close to a BART station? To a hotel?

Kearney on a Sat night? In the dark? To wait for a bus? Sorry, doesn't sound good to me.

artlover is staying at the Suites at Fisherman's Wharf.

If Belden Place is to spooky for you, Faina, I will focus my search near BART stations and Union Square.

Umm... Rainforest Cafe?

Kearny isnt that dangerous at night. But I guess it is all a matter of perspective.

Faina: you can come to my back yard with Clif bars and pretend you are in a rainforest.

I have 4 meetings today, come on, is Belden Place ok for you to get to? If not, I know you like Union Square if there's a free concert that afternoon.

Union square works without any concerts

I29, it's not just Kearney, it's the 2 buses I'd have to take to and from.

Bad news. The Kals won't make it.

OK, here's the story. I haven't packed yet and have to leave for the airport in one hour, so may not be able to check in again from home. Don't know if I have Internet where we're staying, if so, no problem checking tomorrow. If not, well...will have to do this another time. So, if you post the time and place, I'll be there.

I can't find anything around Union Square that will take reservations for 3 at 5:30 pm.

Faina: Belden Place, yes or no, please? Need to know asap.

Ummm... the location is OK, but which place? I ate only one lunch at Tiramisu, that was awful!

And how do we let Artlover know, she may've left already.

Faina, since you have the information where artlover is staying you can call the hotel, if she isn't in her room you can leave a message. Phones, they were invented before computers, lol.
Hope you all get this worked out.

I like Cafe Bastille and Plouf, both french.

At this point, shall we say GTG another time?

LoveItaly, and who do I ask for? Artlover? Do you think they will be amused?

I wonder if anybody ever called asking to talk to Faina Again

Shanghainese, yes, maybe better another time?

Hi Faina, I assumed you know artlovers name as I have never met with someone without knowing their name.

BTW, I love Plouf's but since you don't eat mussels that would probably not be a good restaurant for you.

I never knew a menu posted on a website can be so deceptive and misleading!

From Plouf's website, they have such a nice selection of all kinds of dishes, including my favorite salmon.

What I didn't know - they put mussles in every dish??????????

Thank you, Love Italy, for warning me, I will never ever set my foot there!
