Yup, here is just one measly Bow Tie o’ the Day, which is covered in pumpkins in honor of Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Never fear, tie counters! Since Thanksgiving is part of the holiday season, we can count Bow Tie in our continuing tie tally.
This afternoon, Bow Tie and Suzanne and I found ourselves at one of my fave-rave eatin’ places in SLC, STANZA. Although we’re always trying new restaurants, STANZA’s been my go-to spot for a couple of years, but I’m feeling the need to switch it up. I love STANZA, but I’m getting the itch to find a new clubhouse from which to rule the universe.
The urge to move on began a few months ago when STANZA’s hostess, Gina, left for other pursuits. Gina always went ga-ga for my bow ties. STANZA just hasn’t been the same for me and my out-on-the-town bow ties since she left. I feel kinda bad about deciding to not be a regular anymore, because today they brought us yum-tastic free cannoli. It felt like it was a sweet goodbye gift. Fer sad!
When you look at this selfie, notice the small flames dancing in the fire box on STANZA’s patio, just outside our window. There were no tables and/or chairs waiting for us outside when we arrived, so we figured the staff preferred we eat in the great indoors. Outside would have been dreamy for me. I was was wearing a cape, so I was warm. And I was game for pulling up a couple of chairs to the fire and letting our waiter bring us hot toddies. Hell, we could have made s’mores. I would have shared with the entire STANZA staff. They’re wecome to come to our place for s’mores anytime. They must, however, bring Gina. Gina is their ticket to our back yard.
HOLIDAY TIE TALLY: 16 Bow ties. 34 Neckties.
