For Joan's birthday, Ellen and myself went with her to Cafe Brazil. It's located in the Highlands. It's only open for dinner, and you need to have reservations to eat on the weekend. I had chicken and black bean stew. The waiter instructed me how to pour the stew over the rice and mix it with the other things on my plate, all except for the fried bananas. It was excellent. I would like to go back and try some other things on the menu. I like many of the ingredients in most of the dishes - cilantro and coconut milk. We all shared a dessert. It was similar to chocolate gelato but made with cheese so it was thicker. It was delicious. Ellen made a Latin night of it. We went to the play September Shoes. The brief synopsis is: "The haunting, passionate story of Albert and Gail Cervantes’ return to their southwestern childhood home. In the town of Dolores, meaning “Sorrow” in Spanish, they encounter a collection of colorful, mystical characters both real and dreamlike. Their heart- wrenching tales help the couple come to terms with their past and realize that they and Dolores are forever bound together." It had a lot of symbolism. The main metaphor is a person's sole (of their shoe) shows things about their soul.
