Dining pleasures I dream about while recuperating from open heart surgery

Posted

As I lie in the hospital recuperating from open heart surgery, staring at tasteless globs of oatmeal and Jell-O and listening to the dietician tell me about restrictions on salt, fried and Chinese food, I dream not of sugarplums dancing in my head but of my favorite dining experiences.

A dozen immediately come to mind…and I can’t wait to experience them once again.

Twin Oaks’ baked stuffed shrimp, served with mashed potatoes in the middle and accompanied by a salad with Roquefort.

Governor Francis’ Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with lots of gravy, and their special carrots and turnips, preceded by a cup of Seafood chowder.

Lasagna at Angelo’s.

Crispy pork and Nim Chow at Lemongrass.

Tommy’s Trio: lobster roll, clamcakes and chowder, under an umbrella on Warwick Ave.

Breakfast at Spoonem’s, where I can never decide between their Best in Rhode Island corned beef hash or their sliced-off-the-bone ham.

Meatballs from Mirabella’s.

Sticky buns from Little Falls.

Fish and chips from Vivaldi’s.

A huge sundae with doughboys from Iggy’s.

A combination gyro/falafel from East Side Pockets.

Fellini’s Pizza.
