DA NANG, Vietnam — Cmdr. H. B. Le, the first Vietnamese-American to command a United States Navy destroyer, had just stepped ashore on a formal port call, making an emotional return to Vietnam for the first time since he fled as a young boy on a fishing boat at the end of the war in 1975. More

Tonight:

First: Grilled quail with pomegranate molasses horseradish glaze eaten around the stove

Second: Mixed greens salad (No fowl, sigh...) eaten at the dining table

Third: Whirled chicken, boiled baby potatoes, sautéed asparagus spears with garlic and sweet peppers -- first foray of the rotisserie, and it worked well.

Fourth: Chocolate soufflé with whipped cream and meringues

Fifth: Assorted spoiled milk products with bread, water crackers, and fruit

I have to note that some (who shall remain nameless) were starting to flag by the fifth course, even if one (who shall remain nameless) threw himself on 2.25 chocolate souffles. Sadly, no matter how small a wedge of cheese I was able to purchase, not all of it got eaten.
