Gave Instead Of Lent 27-30

March 18: Gave the students at the Barbados Culinary Institute a chance to impress with their cooking and service, by lunching at the Pom Marine Hotel.

March 19: Gave credit where it was due. I merely grilled a few asparagus, some portabello mushrooms, and tofu. Our housekeeper did the serious cooking of the barbecued ribs and chicken, cous-cous and rice pilau. My wife had arranged the invitations and the lunch time guests did most of the entertaining, including those who stayed or came back for board games in the evening.

March 20: Gave a thumbs up to a buddy who first cancelled his offer of soup, then called back to re-invite us for late afternoon fish soup. Worth the trip to sample his handiwork for the first time: nice fish and some delicious cornmeal dumplings.

March 21: Gave my emotional backing to President Obama to help get health reform legislation passed by the US Congress. Spring is a time for new beginnings.
