At the beginning of July we were invited out to lunch to celebrate our friend, Daniel Boone's birthday. His family calls him Daniel Boone because even with GPS he can get lost.
Lunch was at Ziti's in Natick. Not to be confused with Ziti's in Westboro, though we learned that the Westboro facility asked Ziti's in Natick if they could use the same name. One of Daniel Boone's sons is in the restaurant business so that's how we learned that little bit of trivia.
Besides us and Daniel Boone there was another couple. ??? along with Himself is another of Daniel Boone's Back and Abs workout buddies. I know Daniel from Qi Gong and Reiki.
I ordered my favorite dish Linguine a la Vongola (linguine with clams). Beautifully plated, but no chopped clams mixed in with the macaroni. Not very abbondanza, but the food was good.
The highlight of the lunch was meeting Daniel Boone's wife. We've known Daniel for many years. He constantly talks about his wife, but we never met her. I thought she was his imaginary wife.
Daniel Boone is noted for his story telling usually involving his (imaginary) wife. Turns out she's just as good a raconteur as her husband. We were at the restaurant for several hours eating and mostly laughing.

The food is almost incidental on such occasions. It sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteIt was, and we had a great time
DeleteWe knew someone with an imaginary husband, and it was great to meet them. :) Sounds like a nice time out and lots of fun. Is it smokey at your house? Have a super T day CJ.
ReplyDeleteYes, the haze is thick, and it's worse today than it was on Monday
DeleteSounds lovely Cj.... I miss having steamed clams by the dozen dipped in melted butter... kinda hard to find in West Central Texas... but i think i would like it your way too! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteSteamahs as we call them here in Boston are ok. I always found them to be too much for not much gain. Having to rinse them to get rid of the sand. I'd rather have clams fried or in Vongola.
