INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE
To A Keeper, (From Barbara Angus)
One day someone's husband died and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you.”
So while we have it ... it's best we love it ... and care for it .. and fix it when it's broken ... and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage .. and old cars ... and children with bad report cards and dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special ... and so, We keep them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent It to the people I think of in the same way. Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life.
Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them? I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do . And just in case GOD calls me home ... I LOVE YA!!!...Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.

Entertainment Review

Singer Roberto Curiel Wows Them
Roberto Curiel played Hinde and Jaimes last night and had Mexican nationals and Gringo's alike singing along to the songs. Curiel is an excellent entertainer who plays for an with the audience. His beautiful voice and easy going demeanor make hi performance well worth attending
Tequila shooters were flowing and the most appreciative crowd applauded and whooped with every song. Curiel will be playing for a few more Friday Nights at Hinde and Jaimes - Keep posted.

Restaurant Review

La Bottega dei Sapori in downtown San Francisco – by from Ken Larone

One hundred years ago, thousands of Italians immigrated to the Pacific port of San Francisco, U.S.A. With them came their recipes for fine food, wine and olive oil. Today the U.S. San Francisco is laddened with Italian culture and tradition.

Three two young Italian lovers discovered Mexico’s San Francisco, also on the Pacific Ocean’s west coast. They brought some of the same skills their ancestors brought to the U.S. Chiara Antonini brought her father’ pasta recipe from Vigano, 30 miles north of the Italian city of Milan. Her boy friend Alessio Casiraghi brought his cooking skills from a variety of restaurant kitchens around Milan.

Today this young couple is sharing their food skills with their loyal customers at La Bottega dei Sapori in downtown San Francisco. Each day they make fresh bread, pasta and desserts. Customer’s take-out favorites are focaccia, lasagna, pizza, fruit tarts, apple strudel, cheese cake and profitel rolls (cream puffs with chocolate).

“Our desserts are easy to eat,” says Antonini. “I can walk down the street and they are easy to sell, particular to Mexicans because they are use to buying food from street vendors.”

Most of Bodega’s customers who come to their small restaurant are Canadians and Americans who live six months of the year in the small coastal towns close to San Francisco. Special foods like tortellini or Osso Buco take longer preparation which means three or four days in advance notice.

Traditional Mexican food is based on fresh vegetables and fresh fruit with fish and chicken. The key staple to Mexican food is corn. Wheat flour is the staple in most of Italy except around Milan where polenta, a corn based pasta is preferred.

“Our business is growing in the high season----certainly around Christmas,” says Antonioni.

Charlie Cerrito of Sarasota, Florida, who has traveled throughout Italy many times, finds La Bodega great Italian food.”
