Such a fun end-of-summer story, Pat! I love the idea of “sassy” women reminiscing over cocktails and herring. The man with the bloody knife in his head is the kicker🤪 and the salad sounds perfect for the season! Heading to the farmers market for tomatoes and corn!

The corn salad sounds appealing. Frankly, I don't know what we'll eat when corn and tomato season is over. Now I want to go to Tatiana.

Right? Two ears of corn are dinner tonight! Come down and we'll kick our heels up at Tatiana!

Pat- I really love corn salad and I appreciate this reminder in this piece. It's always great to be reminder of one of your favorite dishes. With a dash of 'sass' no less. A refreshing piece. Hope you're well this week? Cheers, -Thalia

Isn't corn salad one of the wonders of late summer? Let's pretend we're eating it together! Everything is well here and hope with you too!

Love this, Pat! I used to always order roast pork at Tatiana. What a great afternoon and the tale of the guy with the knife in the head is pure NY (Brighton Beach!) everybody probably kept drinking and eating and watching the show! 😂

Now I have to go back and order the pork! My friend and I certainly did...we were trying to remember if our husbands were with us. Very sad to say Brighton has gotten a little less raffish but there's still Tatiana in all it's glory!

Thanks Ruth! My friend has been a life long source of hilarity and inspiration! It was no secret why our waiter found us annoying!
