Mr. Medabalmi, twenty-eight, who had arrived with two friends, bumped into another friend, who was there with two companions they were now a party of six. None of them was headed upstairs to the acclaimed dining room. 

At Amuse, a handsome lounge and restaurant in Chelsea that was formerly the Tonic until it was renovated and reopened two weeks ago by Gerry Hayden, its chef and an owner, a table of twenty people in their twenties and thirties sat in the bar and lounge area on Wednesday, socializing, drinking and eating side orders or desserts. No one had plans for dinner, not even next door, in Mr. Hayden s attractive dining room. 

At Jimmy s Uptown, the modernist moon-palace dining room was empty, there were no house drinks, and it was the bartender s first night. I asked. 

Looks like an alien, said the bartender who served it, wiggling his fingers like antennae on either side of Iris lanky hair. Are you a fan of Wylie s Mr. Dufresne, mutton-chopped and pony-tailed, was visible in the kitchen at the back, corralled like a quarterback by cooks, directing his food into the dining room. 

Last summer, Bright Food Shop expanded its dining room and opened a small cocktail bar. Ms. Abramson, the executive chef, created a cocktail list consistent with her interests in food, which focus on Tex-Mexican, Latin American and Asian. Ms. Abramson s nickname in Boston, where she worked years ago at the Ritz-Carlton, then at a restaurant called Harvest, was Salsa. ...

At Palomino in Indianapolis, which is the brand s leader in annual sales, the restaurant is painted a chile red and looks like a supper club with Southwestern accents.

Although Colorado relies on standard contamination laws, the city and county of Denver specifically limit the use of residual sprays to those conditions in which foodstuffs, utensils, and equipment are covered and protected.

Supper s in the kitchen, I said, leading the way downstairs, though it wasn t as if he didn t know his way around the house. He d mended enough bits of it, one way and another. When we got there, he saw the table laid and said, I thought the family d be in the dining room. ... 

Koppel financed Haber s institute lavishly with the best available laboratory equipment for state-of-the-art research and with five full-time scientific researchers who had no teaching duties. When Haber installed the only dining room and auditorium in the area, his institute became a lively hub of interdisciplinary activities.

On the day Bennett arrived at Clay s headquarters, we got a phone call from Bennett. Pauley was paged in the dining room. "Why don t you boys come up to the suite with me " he said. "Bennett may have some questions for you, too."... 

The material goods we have tend to be old and inert. This glass dining room table is not something we would choose as a style, but it s safe. For us, it is a great replacement for the old table we had before this. This is a victory. That s how I look at it. 

When a bowl containing fresh oranges is placed on the dining room table, the room acquires their fragrance within a few hours. The organic substance we smell after its release from the oranges is the organic terpene (+)-limonene (I), each molecule of which is small and relatively non-polar. I readily evaporates at room temperature to form a vapour. 

My new friend led me into the tiny dining room where the crew messed. The men ate shoulder to shoulder on wooden tables bolted to the deck. The horrific smell of so many men crammed together was 00) overpowering. We received our food from the ship s cook, a portly man in a filthy apron who, with the dirtiest hands I d ever seen, ladled us out a sort of stew. We found two open spots at a mess table and sat down to eat. The stew was lukewarm and the mysterious meat in it was so tough I could barely chew it. I managed to swallow a few spoonfuls (>>J and pushed my dish aside. 

Authentic Dhurrie rugs are hand woven in India. Today, they are usually made of wool, but they are descendants of cotton floor and bed coverings. In fact, the name Dhurrie comes from the Indian word dan, which means threads of cotton.

I once suggested to the Maestro that he obtain a chair on wheels, but he does not need it while he has Bmno, who is a mute, a litde larger than Michelangelo s David. He happily lifted Nostradamus, chair and all, and carried him through to the dining room. He loves to be useful. 

I swung opened the door of the apartment for Violetta and followed her in. To my pleased surprise, the Maestro was halfway along the salone, just about to enter the dining room. He was leaning on his two canes, but at least he was mobile again. He waited for us, leering a welcome. 

I was inclined to agree, but I would not pass up the excuse to go adventuring with my lady. It seemed that the Maestro was not going to rise from his dining room chair until I had removed Violetta, so I did that. Smirking like an adolescent, I offered my arm and escorted her to the stairs. 

I had just enough time before dinner to give the Maestro a quick summary of what I had learned. That left him to do most of the talking at table, which he normally does anyway. As we headed to the dining room, I was pleased to see that his lameness was less marked, his disposition was improving, and he was definitely caught up in the Honeycat case now. Which effect was the chicken, which the egg, and which the rooster, I do not speculate. 

Mama said Bisato Anguilla Sull ara ready in five minutes. Nostradamus would need that long just to get into the dining room, so I went back and told him supper was ready. 

I departed, but without umbrage, because I knew what he really meant me to do in the dining room. The spyhole there provides an excellent view of the atelier. Domenico (tall) and Bernardo (wide) had their backs to me, but I could watch my master s face and hear everything being said. 

Today my taste for home decorations has morphed from bedroom anatomy posters to wooden African masks that currently surround a spiral staircase near the dining room. These masks are modern works, some from the early part of the 20th century, some contemporary. Portraiture is one of the great universal traditions in art the face as expressed in... 

Suddenly there is a scream from within the White House. You race through the East Room and then through the Red Room. You dash past paintings of Abraham Lincoln, Zachary Taylor, and John F. Kennedy. Finally, arriving at the State Dining Room, you find the president. He is surrounded by blobs, obviously one or more creatures from the fourth dimension. 

I left my homework laying on the dining room table.
