lsandersonThe day Karen and Myra arrive from North Dakota. I was running around buying clothes. A shirt, shoes, coat and shoulder bag. I forgot to wash the car. I met with Jonathan Adams about the will, then hit Dayton's at Ridgedale, and purchased two shirts and a pair of shoes. The shoes, which felt wonderful in the store, caused a big blister on my left foot. My other dress shoes that I've worn, is from Payless Shoes. They squeak when I walk in them. I (wrongly) figured the mausoleum would not be heated and bought a leather trench coat to wear. It was an extravagance, but I don't have a coat to wear over a suit, it is black leather, and I wore it for the funeral.
Once I met up with Karen and Myra, we went through some of my aunt's jewelry, drank a bottle of cheap champagne, half of which flew out of the bottle when I opened it, (I'd neglected to shop for things like that), ate olives, and then went to eat at the 3-Muses just around the corner. I'd read that they had a new chef. They advertised a new menu, but it seemed strangely familiar from the last time I was in there. The food, however, was exceptional. We started with a bottle of champagne, a better bottle than the one I'd served at home. We ordered two appetizers, scallops and ??? (I'm thinking I had BBQ lamb, but that must have been at La Toscana). Karen ordered the roasted beet salad, which Myra would order at La Toscana. I ordered a salad, the details of which escapes me, and Myra ordered the squash soup with cardamom cream. I stuck my fork in it to steal a taste, and it was an excellent blend of squash, the cream with cardamom and hints of sage. I ordered lamb chops for the main course, and they were excellent. My sister ordered pork, setting at trend she would follow the next night.
