If it were, I'm sure I would have insisted everyone try some. The fact that I set myself apart from the group by not sharing clearly indicates that the meal was ho-hum and I (knowing what's best for everyone else at all times) didn't think it would be enjoyed by others. The remodeling....C+ at best. The paint scheme was the only thing that caught my eye and, as Alex said, it could have been improved. My impression was that 98% of the construction budget went into updating the kitchen and bathroom and the leftover spare change was spent on the dining area.Perley Paap-Crabbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12452963220087339205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817502.post-1147021469684686162006-05-07T12:04:00.000-05:002006-05-07T12:04:00.000-05:00OK, maybe my sense of smell is bad (I do live in one of those old duplexes with the cat pee, bong-water smell apparently), but I didn't notice a bad smell. The noise, particularly with the old ladies there, on the other hand I did notice, probably because it was so bad, you could feel the vibrations with your feet.<BR/><BR/>Also, we need Perley to comment on the remodel stuff. The paint job had diamonds all over the walls. They were cool, but they continued onto the trim, which was a bit odd, and Perley's gripe was that not a single diamond lined up with any corner of the room. He would have done the math to make sure they all did.<BR/><BR/>Still, the sauce around my bison burger was delightfully rich, and it came with some of the best brocolli I've had. Nothing like meat juice to make veggies go down easy.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00893347878238444805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817502.post-1147021350718571062006-05-07T12:02:00.000-05:002006-05-07T12:02:00.000-05:00sorry about that, i meant 7th. i changed it in the original post. carry on.Amadeushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03607669639292620834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817502.post-1147020684416148162006-05-07T11:51:00.000-05:002006-05-07T11:51:00.000-05:00Al - I think they do get back tonight.<BR/><BR/>Note to Duplex: contact a harware store to rent an atmoskleer fogger. <BR/><BR/>Then I'll go back.rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443385371807586067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26817502.post-1147018790260474962006-05-07T11:19:00.000-05:002006-05-07T11:19:00.000-05:00Woah.
