Can You See Me Now?
“To awaken quite alone
in a strange town
is one of the pleasantest
sensations in the world.”
~ Freya Stark
Dining Outside the Home: Galo’s Italian Grill in Richmond, Indiana
Dining Outside the Home: Galo’s Italian Grill in Richmond, Indiana! Without the cost of a plane ticket, you can be swept away for a taste of Italy. The journey winds through the countryside of Tuscany with fine wines born of the Sangiovese grape to the imported pastas of the outer regions. Choose linguine, penne, or capellini. Twirl the pasta against the curved indentation of the plate or use a spoon like an expert. Homemade breads drenched in herbed olive oil are too tempting to resist. If it’s seafood you desire, the portobello mushroom cap stuffed with lobster and shrimp over a bed of risotto is enough to make you sigh. Perhaps there’s room for dessert if you stop right now. Cannoli for two. Yes, please.
Emotion is Key
“The artist is a receptacle
for emotions that come
from all over the place;
from the sky,
from a scrap of paper,
from a passing shape,
from a spider’s web.”
~ Pablo Picasso
Dining Outside the Home: Le Peep in Carmel, Indiana
Dining Outside the Home: Le Peep in Carmel, Indiana! There’s a lot to be said for a string of restaurants that originated in a converted gas station in Colorado over 40 years ago. They must be doing something right. And becoming a Hoosier tradition, in my opinion, is one reason to experience unique breakfast creations in your own back yard. The menu alone extends the option to eat breakfast any time of day. Gooey Bun. Dutch Apple Oatmeal. Pampered Eggs. The Great Reef Benedict. And don’t get me started on the coffees. When you come in with a smile and leave with a smile, is it any wonder their slogan is “It’s always a great day when you dine at Le Peep!”.
Places of the Heart
“You can fall in love
at first sight
with a place as
with a person.”
~ Alec Waugh
Make Dining Magnificent
“I think people are more savvy
about cooking, food, and dining.
I notice they are looking for
more value for their money –
not in larger portions but
more in terms of healthier, fresh,
farm-to-table dishes with
nice presentation.”
~ Cat Cora
Enjoy Abundance Where You Are
“Not what we have, but what we enjoy,
constitutes our abundance.”
~ Epicurus
Without Reservation
“An aspiration is
a joy forever.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
