Life's small pleasures.......
The last place Helen and I had dinner out before I took ill eighteen months ago is a medium sized Portuguese restaurant in Fall River, Massachusetts. Caldeiras Restaurant is now our favorite place to dine out.
We had a de ja vu all over again today. Helen persuaded me it was finally time to get out be normal again. One of our most pleasurable experiences is to occasionally dine out, just the two of us. One of our favorite places is Caldeiras near downtown Fall River. It is also the last place we dined out before Mother Nature intruded in my health and leveled me for the better part of a year and a half.
Caldeiras sprecializes in Portuguese cuisine. You name it they've got it. The food is outstanding. We've never had anything but good meals there. Coupled with outstanding service with a large smile Caldeiras is one place we find we can escape from city living. The moment you enter the restaurant (they have a tavern adjacent to the restaurant) you leave the city behind. Today we were treated to what sounded like the pan flute of Gheorghe Zamfir (yes, the name is spelled correctly). The mood was set within minutes and we were ready to enjoy a well prepared Portuguese meal.
Helen frequently has seafood and I opt for beef. Both were great and the soup was something we both look forward to having, kale soup which is a Portuguese delicacy.
Caldeiras has a good wine list and an excellent dessert menu. Before becoming ill we have dined at Caldeiras often. Come to think of it, it is where we had a family dinner with son in law Jon Rose before he shipped out for duty in Iraq a few years ago. We had most of the family there for the send off dinner and everyone, even the young ones, had a good meal and time.
Now that I'm back on my feet we intend to make the place a regular stop for fine eating.
Tomorrow we'll get back to less pleasant things. Happy eating.
