Sounds wonderful, Denise.

"Spiny Lobster Shanghai Style with Crispy Spinach" - this must have been the dish the anchors from GMA were raving about. Robin was darn near drooling talking about it.

I thot about you when the news (down here in Palm Springs) started talking about the Hepatitis (sp?) staff member from a Valentine's Day 'do' of Wolfgang's. Hope that person was long gone by the time you joined up with them!!!
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

Yes the Hep Scare is for events from Feb 3-20th. He was gone by the time the Oscar prep started on the 21st. At least that's what they tell us. I notice that not one newspaper has released a name of said individual.

Next year I'm going to try and get on over at Mortons for the Vanity Fair party.
