Our turkey is still sitting in our freezer! What do I do?!” Well, the first thing you should do, according to Jane Allen, is relax. All is not lost. Your proverbial goose is not proverbially cooked.

I always know what will be served and how it will taste. And that’s a good thing. No, wait. Tradition is second. The food is really what I like most.

My in-house wine expert, Jeremy and I picked up the bottle of 1994 Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico in 2000 or 2001.

I like potluck dinners that basically clean out the fridge and let diners take their chances on what combinations they will get. They always seems to turn out delicious.

As we were being seated, the hostess told us that because we were a party of six or more, a 15 percent gratuity would automatically be added to our bill. My first thought was, “Wow, that would probably save me some money.” Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:47:00 +0000 http://www.adaeveningnews.com/joplinglobe/food/local_story_307202003.html http://www.adaeveningnews.com/joplinglobe/food/local_story_307202003.html A newly opened restaurant offers upscale dining at a creek’s source.
