I feel like I blinked and suddenly it was the middle of November – and even though I am usually very reluctant to even welcome autumn, I’m already embracing the build-up to the holiday season.
On Friday I met Westfarms spokesperson Amanda Sirica for our annual visit with Santa, something we have done every year (we think it’s at least 10 years) on the day the big guy arrives at Center Court. Of course I do need to admit that I have not yet taken down most of the Halloween decorations in my house, and there are still sandals resident in my closet because I haven’t made the time to fully transition my clothing for the season – so maybe I’m not all that ready yet … even though by the time you read this it will be just 10 days until Thanksgiving.

Last week was a whirlwind, and I always say that on the Monday after Election Day. Not only was there the local races to cover, but there was also a Board of Education meeting, soccer playoff games, letter of intent signings, and the Veterans Day ceremony to report on – plus catching up from having been on vacation for a few days the previous week.
It had been a few weeks since we had a “normal” Saturday night dinner at a local restaurant, and Saturday night Ted and I had a fantastic dinner at Zaytoon Mediterranean Kitchen in Elmwood. The Tahini Cauliflower, Jordanian Mansaf and Chicken Maftoul were delicious, and I’m looking forward to the leftovers, too!

There used to be a restaurant called Bonanza where McDonald’s is (was). It would be nice to see something like that back in this spot. Or a Sonic, maybe.
What’s going on with the Boston Market on Farmington Avenue? A couple of signs in the window say it has somehow been “suspended” and some sort of Connecticut tax law is cited.
I will have to check it out! Thanks for the tip!
