Say NO to the “TAG”
Happy Easter and Passover to all. I will make this short and sweet, like the time it takes me to get to the toilet after eating a chocolate bunny that is sweet. Does that even make sense? I LOVE chocolate, but too much of it will make me, or anyone for that matter, feel sick. Quick fact; Doctors advise to eat dark chocolate as it releases serotonin into the brain. This can supposedly help to relieve stress, and/or help your mood.
Besides the Easter holiday, this past weekend was one of another important celebration, my niece and nephews First Communion. 10 year old twins; one liked the “blood”, the other did not. I have 5 nieces and nephews, and for now, they will be referred to as “The A-Team”, and the twins, “TnT”. It was a significant event in their lives, and I was happy to be there. After the ceremony the family went out to dinner. My parents seem to think that the only place we can take a bunch of children out to dinner is the Tin Alley Grill, located on Stewart Avenue in Garden City. I can’t tell you how many times I have been there, and every time I whine like a little girl, BUT, it’s for a good purpose, I KNOW THE FOOD WILL MAKE ME SICK. I stayed away from the greasy chips and artichoke dip, and the fried mozzarella, yet I still knew the ending of this meal would not be good. To be honest, my marinated skirt steak tasted pretty good, but it must have been the sauce, as like clockwork, I had to excuse myself early and leave the restaurant. Luckily I live less than five minutes from home, and new I would be in the comfort of my own bathroom in a short amount of time. My recently “communed” nephew asked, “Why don’t you just use the bathroom here?” I replied, “I need my privacy”.
