The one bread to rule them all
Once in a while Robert, Gabriel and I go out to a restaurant for a meal.
We try to take Hannah out all the time, but she never behaves well at a restaurant. She is three and doesn’t want to sit still; she wants to move and since she doesn’t eat by mouth, she has no patience for us that do.
So once and a while, with Hannah in the good care of a nurse, the rest of us go out to enjoy a meal at a restaurant.
The other day we went to Romano’s Macaroni Grill. It is an Italian restaurant chain I adore. I can never get enough of their lobster ravioli. Anyway, they make this bread that has thyme in it. It is made fresh, with a generous thick crust and comes to the table almost immediately out of the oven. It is heaven and very easy to fill up on if one is not careful.
On this particular occasion, Gabriel was looking fondly at a chunk of bread in his hand and said, "This is great bread. It is the one bread to rule them all."
For you fellow geeks out there, yes, that is a reference to Lord of the Rings. It is part of a fun-word game that Robert and Gabriel play. You will have to ask Robert on more of the particulars.
Robert and I looked across the table, smiling in delight of our fellow nerdy child and his astute observation. We agree the bread tastes wonderful.
