Dinner was fine, but not as memorable as the night before, at Ana's house. I've already mentioned her luscious artichoke risotto, and she made a vegetable melange and dipped the ripest strawberries into dark chocolate. But it's not the food... As an almost-constant traveler, there's nothing I like more than dinner at home. I have frequent dinner parties, but I don't get to be a guest very often. So dinner at Ana's was the culinary highlight (taken as a complete experience) of that trip. Oh, thanks for asking, Rick! Dinner was fine, but not as memorable as the night before, at Ana’s house.

I've seen them chastised by police, their cardboard "tools" taken away, then left to go about their business. And we all know what their business is. Sometimes they're hauled in, then released to their parents. Parents yell at them—for getting caught! Yep.
