Thank you Munki and Julie. I appreciate your support. : ) Blue Plate
Congratulations on the mention Blueplate. Your name doesn't have anything to do with the SF restaurant of the same name does it?
Hi eat, drink, & be merry,
I got the name blue plate from "blue plate special" and only heard the Blue Plate restaurant in San Francisco later, from you and your blog, actually. But now that I know, I feel I should visit my namesake, in a manner of speaking, if I ever find myself in San Franciso again.
Btw, there's also a Table d'Hôte restaurant; it's in New York City.
And thanks and thanks for reading.
: ) Blue Plate
