I was even lobbying against rent control from here. Called one of the new state representatives (who I helped elect) to ask her to vote no on the bill to lift the sanctions on rent control in Illinois. She's on the committee hearing the bill. While we all want affordable housing, rent control is not the answer.
We left the house to head to Brownwood Town Center and the TooJays Restaurant to meet Ethel (our friend Fran's cousin-her mother and I were friends also).
Ethel had a taste for pastrami and I had a taste for salami. The waitress said they no longer carry salami as there was no demand for it! Okay, I'll have a corned beef sandwich on rye.
We ordered a piece of chocolate cake for Ethel's birthday and she took most of it home, even though we all tasted it. Happy 63 Ethel!!! She's recovering from some surgery, but looked good and was in great spirits.
As we were walking out, there was a Kosher salami in the deli refrigerated case. Terry asked to see the manager. We told him what the waitress said and he said, of course, we have salami! They no longer carry the Genoa Salami, but still have the Kosher salami. He asked where we had been sitting and said he would speak with the waitress. BTW: The corned beef was very good and their rye bread is to die for.
We had some spaghetti for dinner and I had a glass of wine. Terry decided against wine as she has a conference call with Mindy and their company.
Terry talked with Stacy and Jessica was under the weather. Hope she's feeling better real soon.
