type='text'>Dining out without din</title><content type='html'>We go to a delicious lunch at the Zen where the music is soft, the decor is gentle and we are remembered. &amp;nbsp;I think there should be special meals for under six and over eighty so we could feel less guilty about leaving the extras. &amp;nbsp;Not having to plan seems almost as important as not cooking after all these years. &amp;nbsp;The first cake I baked was eighty years ago when I had learned to sound out words and my mother was called to the store: &amp;nbsp;I puzzled out the recipe put it together and put the pan into the hot oven. &amp;nbsp;When mother came back she was horrified but I was neither burnt nor unhappy--trouble was I soon was given kitchen jobs and &amp;nbsp;am now finding myself rather bored with the whole process. &amp;nbsp;Tonight I'll have shushi for dinner having lost all hesitance about asking for a box.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
