_____Breakfast: at my Father-in-Laws, where he cooked:

• bacon well fried
• two eggs boiled in the bacon fat
• coffee
• slice of whole wheat toast with butter

________Lunch: at Giovannis in Beaverton, Oregon where I had:

• green salad with Italian dressing
• luncheon sized spagethie with meat sauce and a piece of Italian sausage
• garlic bread
• two glasses of "Diet Coke"

The service was fine, even if the waitress brought ice in my first "Diet Coke, no ice, please".

Part of their menu reads: "GIOVANNI'S CON POMODORO - sauteed with olive oil, roma tomatoes, garlic and parmigiano cheese"  If I even finish my "National Novel Writing Month" novel, that I got about half way through in 2009, I am going to have one character (a Navy cook or Commissaryman 3^rd Class) make this for another (a LTjg in hack).

_______Dinner:  We went to the Portland Oregon Airport Restaurant where I had:

• salmon bisque, cup of
• french fries
• cole slaw
• two local brews

Back at the hotel (Porland Oregon Airport Double Tree) for a bottle of Bud (after the grease level in the fish, I did well to keep dinner down...)
