The Diner’s Lament The Supper Seven have a weekly plight: Where do we eat of a Friday night? I know, said Debbie, just where to go: A place in Orleans called The Barley Mow And by gosh, do you know, she was right… Our choice of restaurant for the Supper Seven’s usual Friday night jaunt was …

This week, I took a brief business trip South of the Border. About once a month or so, I meet up with my business partner, Mike, who lives in Vermont. Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Upper New York State, is approximately halfway between our locations, so it is the place that we most often …

Another Friday night dining out and yet another decision to make about where to go in Ottawa for our weekly family supper on the town. This week, we are up one adult but missing one child, so our usual group of seven is once again six. Nobody had any strong feelings this week and my stomach suddenly …

This week our usual Friday night jaunt took us to Pizza Hut at Industrial and St. Laurent in Ottawa. Our selection is usually made in a relatively democratic way. We take an impromptu vote and the majority normally prevails. This was our third trip within the last six months and it will be our …
