Table Ornaments

Treating myself to food that I love is an important part of my pain management program. And when I eat out, I use the opportunity to take photos of the nature that surrounds my table.

Here I am at Pelican’s Restaurant (home of the famously delicious ranch dressing that I dream about bathing in):

And here I am at Taco Cabana, home of soft, fresh, and scrumptious flour tortillas:

“Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament.” Marilyn Monroe

“Nothing is more pleasant than to see a pretty woman, her napkin well placed under her arms, one of her hands on the table, while the other carries to her mouth, the choice piece so elegantly carved.” Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)

“If we talk about the glass being half empty or half full, I want to know what does the glass look like from underneath the table?” Brad Thor

“If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.” Michael Enzi
