And where did I dine last night?
At my lovely residence here in Modesto. I chose a savory bowl of minestroni soup opened and heated by the lovely Miss Lisa, along with a delightful french bread garlic toast, staying with my gritty day by using day old bread of course.
For dessert I was offered fresh pomegranite, grown on one of Modesto's very own properties, very tart and flavorful.
All courses were served with ice water or a store brand soft drink.
Sorry about such a poor showing for dinner folks, but I'm just following the Obamessiah's advice and living within my means. I wish the his old lady would do the same - live within our (the taxpayers') means.
But to be fair to Miss Lisa (because she's going to reading this later) I was offered steak and potatoes as well. I like soup and bread, what can I say?

Nothing wrong with a good bowl of soup and some bread. I like minestrone. What brand, Campbell's or Progresso?
Safeway Select. Very good, as is all their soups.
I believe Safeway is Von's down in your area.
Cool. The wife shops at Von's all the time. I'll ask her to get some.
I just loves me some minestrone on a cold, rainy day!
Bowl of basmati rice and butter-browned vermicelli from some third world country where they eat dogs, witih store-brand cooked frozen broccoli on top, salt and pepper chased by a glass of Berringer chenin blanc (2 bottles for $11.00 last week and only consumed on days that make me think I need to upgrade the BB gun).
Can't buy many fresh veggies/fruit here in Maine this time of year, though today we had the distinction of being the warmest state in the continental USA: 63 degrees in Bangor, Maine at 7:00 a.m. today. Thank you Al Gore!!!
I need fire water with the soup.
Old (Latino) tradition.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Shit, I forgot to eat last night.
Woke up knawing on my pillow.
Ah yes, Chicken Noodle with a choke sandwich and a glass of iced tea! The choke sandwich was made with week old bread, Wal-Mart brand peanut butter and Wal-Mart brand grape jelly...
Soup and bread mid week is great. I would pour some catsup (that's right) on mine just like my grandfather used to, and then have a glass of dark red wine with it to honor my other grandfather.
How the Hell did ya get me thinking of this stuff anyways?
i like soup also, but i usually make my own.
