Sabor Restaurant

Last night Michael and I went to Sabor, 23 Court Street, Plymouth, MA, Tel 508.746.0707
The meal we had was outstanding.

Michael had roasted yellow beet salad with a fried goat cheese ball and a pork chop that was pan seared then baked in the oven, with sautéed vegetables.
I had a caesar salad with anchovies and butternut squash ravioli with sautéed portabella mushrooms in a sauce. We had a coconut cake for dessert that we split and a bottle of red wine.

Sabor is a small restaurant with on street parking, nine tables and seating at the bar. It's only a wine bar but they have a great selection of wine by the glass to complement whatever dish you’re having or a full bottle to share with others at your table.

We would go back again but want to try a few more restaurants in the downtown area of Plymouth.
I have my list and will post our likes and dislikes of each one.

Saturday evening in Plymouth Center for dinner

Going to Plymouth Center, this evening to try one of the restaurants there.
Most of the restaurants in Sandwich are closed for the season and the one's that are opened, close at 8 pm.  Now I ask you, who eats early?  I know when I was a kid we ate at 5 pm on the dot but as an adult, dinner can be anywhere from 7 to 11 pm, depending on where I am.
Will write about the place we end up going too, I hope the food and drinks are good.

Baranstable Courthouse

Nirvana Coffee Shop,  is located on Route 6A in Barnstable Village, across from Barnstable Courthouse. TThey have the best coffee and Michael and I go there for lattes every weekend.  Sometimes during the week I'll stop there for a latte and one of their great sandwich.

We were working over at the guest house today. Michael was placing insulation in the walls where the bathroom wall shares a common wall with the living room and bedroom.

I just swept the floor to clean up a bit before the drywall goes and get plastered starting tomorrow, Monday.
It's been taking forever to get to this point. The two car garage with the guest house shell over it, was built four years ago. All the builder had to do was put up a few walls upstairs and downstairs but it took him months. The rough for the electrician took just a few days and the plumbers took two full days. The drywall and plaster will take three day, five months for the builder, never again and will never recommend him again. We're not having him installing the deck to the guest house or around the pool.

Here's the view from the guest house deck.

Happy New Year - 2011

The last half of 2010 was a difficult year for me job wise. I was laid off from the May Institute as of 1 June. Loosing a job in this economy and at my age was/is rough. So for the last six month I have been collecting, looking for work that could use my job skills. After many resumes and job interviews, think it hit me that I'm old, yes it's true I am old but still have a lot of skills that I could bring to a new job and a fun personally to make the job interesting. Thought I would have worked till I was in my 70's. This this past Holiday season I have been working part time at the Pottery Barn in Mashpee Commons in Mashpee, Massachusetts. It's been fun and some people there think I'm too nice to everyone. I only work a few hours each week, not making much money, just a bit over minimum, now who really does make money in retail I ask you, but the discount is amazing 40%. I just wish I could stop spending. I'm sure my Mom is watching me, telling me to go for it, making her proud that I'm spending, I just know it.
Okay now your asking with all this time on my hands why wasn't I writing every day. I really can't say. Looking for a full time job seems like a full time job. If you haven't tried looking for a job try it sometime, it take a lot of your time.
There was a wedding at my house in August it was a very nice affair. Karyn and Robert were the bride and groom. The day couldn't have been better. If yo want to see picture I'd be more than happy to post them for you to see.
They use Casual Gourmet, cupcakes from Cup Cake Charlie's instead of a wedding cake, a sundae bar for dessert and a DJ for music and the Flower by East Sandwich Florist (their work is on par with Winston's of Boston) amazing job. by everyone.

Another rainy Day here on the Cape

It's been raining here on the Cape since yesterday, Saturday. Last night the wind was howling and blowing like a hurricane oh ya, it poured like crazy too. The lower part of the back yard is flood as well as the street. The flooding on the street looks like three large ponds. We probably won't dry up till next week.
