Thanks belbbmfan!

Since I know French as well as English, I do hear some words in Dutch and understand rare ones!!

However, it is a puzzle to me as to why Flemish is not easily known or learned; is it not much German?

Hugs!

Brrrr!    Time to break out the warmer coats!


    Now that the colder weather is apon us, how about some hot soup to warm you up?

OMG...how did they capture the flavor?

Morning all,

52 degrees here in the Windy City with bright blue sky. It looks like a nice day. We are thinking of heading the Field Museum (natural history) to see a new map exhibit that just opened on November 2.

And some shopping, of course....LOL

Last night walking to the theater, it was about 45 degrees...ie, not very cold. But I woman was hopping out of a taxi wearing a mink coat! I kid you not! A long mink coat. I should point out that we lived here in Chicago for two years, and I was always amazed at the number of women wearing minks. And it was amazing to me last night, since I never see women in mink in Portland...even on the coldest days. And last night was not that cold! Just a reminder I was not at home! LOL

PS, the other thing that was amazing was going into a restaurant and people were smoking!

Is it really worth it? It's not that far away. Everything I have read said it is fifties and fun, but the food is really mediocre. You tell me, Scott...

It is mediocre, but somtimes atmosphere is more important...it's fun...in a sophomoric way.  Avoid Carsons...supposed to eb the best rib place in the country, but I have had better here at home.

Must be a lingering effect of New England Puritanism.

Maybe it is, but is is fine with me. I don't care for fur coats, for a variety of reasons.

Yes, I've had the same experience.

Yesterday we went to Harry Caray's for lunch because it was right across from the hotel. The place was hopping and packed with good looking MEN. For every 10 men in the restaurant, there was one woman, I swear. And they were all handsome. Must be all these downtown businessmen going out for their power lunches. I kept looking around thinking, "I need to get out more..."

Great breakfast place down the other end of the street...I think you are sort of central...it's called Yolk.
