Paradigm.......

par·a·digm: One that serves as a pattern or model.

ex. Their company is a paradigm of the small high-tech firms that have recently sprung up in this area.




PARADIGMS: the name of the restaurant where we just had dinner. A place about 2 1/2 blocks from the house. Rode our bikes of course. Sat on the patio under some nice shade trees. Just went for a beer (or two) and an appetizer (happy hour).....ended up staying for dinner as well. This place was started a month ago by two friends who remodeled an old house and had a thing for good fresh local food. All ingredients are purchased from local farmers. This is the first nice place we have eaten out at since being here, but I believe that it is fair to say that this restaurant is a paradigm of the other restaurants that have recently sprung up in this area...... :) To drink I had a dark local beer, my lovely wife had a hefewiezen. Make that 2 for each of us.... Then crab cakes, then fried asparagus with goat cheese and a tomato salsa. For dinner I had a watermelon salad which was delicious, she had a spicy pad thai with chicken. Desert for her was chocolate with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and caramel. I had three different cheeses with wine and mustard seed. UMMMM...... It was delicious.

On another note, we have driven the car once since we arrived in Eagle.


Quote of the Day: From the local bike shop owner "sorry that you had to get out here when it was so humid, I just walk outside and I have trouble breathing, plus it makes things so much hotter"....... umm, it has only hit 87 one time since we arrived, and I usually wear a hoody till noon. Humidity?????
