Imperial Home Center

Today we drove west to Lakewood to check out Avonite countertops because I had seen one called Blue Pearl. It certainly looked great on my MacBook. It reminded me of a granite that had seduced me about 6 weeks ago after I had adamantly declared that I did not want granite.

Seventy-something Ron was a great help with absolutely no pressure. If we didn’t already have a contractor, I could see working with them. He is going to get a quote on the countertops.

Then it was off to The Diner on Clifton for lunch. My portabello wrap in a spinach tortilla with carmelized onions, roasted red peppers, and fresh spinach was dressed with a roasted garlic mayo. Both it and the sweet potatoes fries were divine. My Sweetie relished his Carolina pulled-pork.

And, yes, we did get our passports stamped when we crossed the river.
