I'll just have the soup, please.

Oh, and dessert. With coffee.

You'd have to eat my oyster course, but what a menu! It's too hard to choose, and at $29 pp...what a steal!

In San Francisco - those prices are seriously UNPRECIDENTED!

[musicbearmn.livejournal.com]

that's what I thought!

[joebehrsandiego.livejournal.com]

The menu/price combo is completely amazing. Looking forward to it!

Geez, that sounds wonderful...

Have a great time!

Sounds better than what I was planning. You live life so richly. I love that about you.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

well as richly as a girl on a budget CAN :) but honestly the prices at Alamo Square are pretty amazing for the big city. A prefix like that could run $80-100 a person in some restaurants. it is why it is a favorite. I'm blessed with a job that lets me in for free at many cultural events -- and well - I'm very lucky to live the life that I do.

I'l love to, lowfat, I'd even settle for the leftovers.

But can I take this opportunity to thank you for the present of your remarkable journal, throughout the year. Yours has been a trip in so many ways, beautifully doumented in thoughtful words and images, totally honest - with yourself and with us - and just a priviledge to follow along to. A total ten!

Happy holidays, you deserve a wonderful celebration this year.

I called the number I have for you - but got no answer. I'll send you an email with my cell number, send me yours if I don't have it.

What is the dress code at the Alamo Seafood Grille? All my dress shirts are at the laundry (closed till after Xmas), but I can probably muster something nice anyway.
