Bruce after the workout of removing
bottle cap from water bottle

He knows where I keep the dog treats and
knocks or paws the screen door to enter or
come out onto the deck.

Through the campus to Sol, the Mexican restaurant

The Sol Restaurant has a few locations including one in Palo Alto. As it was one of his favorites, Mark Zuckerberg had one constructed on the Facebook campus.

Pollo Guajillo 

This enjococado chicken dish is accented by guajillo sauce

and topped with toasted almonds. An authentic recipe

influenced by the 19th century old world and by our

cocina barroca poblana.

Then at home.....

A gift for Chuck that I've waited years to give.
Rich and smooth with hints of citrus and pepper
balanced  with creamy vanilla, peat, sweet wood
 and nutty flavors. Johnnie Walker Blue
Label is produced in limited quantities ...

....was opened and enjoyed by THREE
generations of Rossi's.  A special event for sure.
Cheers.
