Meanwhile, Here's my lunch a while ago- Bean Salad Stuffed Avocado with Shrimps, Meatball soup, potato chips and coke. It was a great lunch and my Kudos to Our Newton's Kitchen Crew headed by Joel Torres.

Incidentally, the Kitchen Staff have several new members and faces. I do not know their names. I have also talked to Caleb recently regarding the Kitchen Fryer, because I wanted to have some French Fries once in a while. The response was Negative. I also suggested that once in a month, the Grilled Salmon served every Sunday Brunch is getting boring. I suggested Seafood or Chicken Paella served in between or at least once a month in the place of the Salmon. Joel said my suggestion is noted and will be taken into consideration.
