They Take STL By Storm

Dear Colin:
 
Not all who meet on-line are an ax murders.
(despite that evil gleam in my eye)  
 
So our story goes.
 
When you come to my town you are taught the two most important things to know as a transplant - how to answer the question, "where did you go to school?" and the definition and how to use the word hoosier.  Then I gift you with Saint Louis's best salad dressing: Zia's  On The Hill and you end an evening of talk and laughs taking a photo in front of the Soulard edition of the STL 250th Anniversary cake with your pal Lin.  
 
Dear Lin:
 
This is what you need to make that salad dressing gift do it's thing
 

1 large head romaine lettuce torn into bite size pieces
1 large head iceberg lettuce torn into bite size pieces
14 oz can artichoke hearts drained and quartered
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 oz jar pimentos drained
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 bottle of dressing--add to taste
 
Toss all ingredients in a bowl, add dressing and serve. Serves 6
 
Till we meet again!

Thank you, Jodi! We had such a nice evening with you and your daughter. :) You made us all feel so relaxed about knowing that Colin made a good choice in coming to live in St. Louis. I felt better knowing that he has a local phone number (and another mom!) there in case of emergency.

We grew to really love St. Louis while we were there this week--even if we didn't get to do too much of the fun stuff. (That comes later now that we have a place to stay for free. Hee! hee! IF he lets us stay with him)

It was great to meet you in person--especially when I lived to tell about it!!

P.S. We had the salad dressing last night---It is WONDERFUL! Even if Emma was asking "Why do you have salad dressing?" :)

Thanks again for once again, putting my mind at ease with another kid transition!

Colin is a smart kid, he'll let his parents bunk for free. When parents visits they somehow foot the tabs and stock the fridge.

Next visit I will surprise with another great taste of STL treat. That will leave Emma asking "Why do you have...."
