6 (Disgustedly, the nice waiter snatches the iPhone away from a mortified John and takes the one decent photo.
Meryl's Moussaka wins, Amanda's grilled cheese appetizer lovely, Mahi Mahi healthy. Plataforma coming soon!)

I knew I shouldn't have shoved that piece of bread in my mouth before the waiter took the picture. ::)

But so gracefully, Meryl!
Thank you (and to Amanda!) for a lovely afternoon--so civilized--as always!

Hi John! Thanks for these wonderful pictures! Even though some of them are a little out of focus... I think they're very nice. It's always a good thing to document lovely Brokie get-togethers. I'm so happy that our luncheon worked out. It really was civilized! It was great to sit down in the middle of the day and have a nice glass of wine and a thee course meal. And, of course just having the chance to see both of you was the real treat.
The restaurant was a nice pick! I loved my sheep's milk grilled cheese salad... very unique and very tasty. And, LOL it's so great that I ate sheep's milk for my appetizer and you had bean soup... so Brokeback appropriate!
I'm sorry that Meryl and I didn't get snapshots of our vegetarian dinner from the night before. So, it's a great treat to have these lunch pics for the memory books.

(And I guess I need to buy a camera instead of,
you know, a phone. )
But it really was a lovely afternoon, thanks to you and Meryl!
;D

Thank you, both! :)
There's a short coda--and, yes, Amanda really won the Jimmy Olsen Award this time--her photos are in focus. Look:
Hi John and Meryl!
Last night I remembered that I took some pictures at the restaurant last week too, and I thought I'd pass them along.
:)
cheers!
Amanda

:-* Thanks John! I'm very honored to receive the Jimmy Olsen Award! I'll display it on my mantlepiece. :D
Really I think it was mostly good luck that they came out in focus. My cell phone camera has such a delay between when you click and when the picture is snapped... it can be a bit unpredictable how things turn out.
