Lunch at Sofia's


Tuesday morning started out quite normally as we awoke to rain. We spent the morning in the office making calls, working on emails, and other reports for the work. We left home around 11:30 to run some errands before we picked up Dave and Barb to go to lunch at Sofia's.
Lunch at Sofia's (one of our favorite restaurants) is usually a leisurely affair. The menu features many selections all for one price. The restaurant is named in honor of the actress Sofia Loren, a famous Italian. It leans towards the Italian in flavor and atmosphere but hardly any restaurant here exists without the Argentine grill! We got shrimps crepes for the first dish and enjoyed that. There were many selections which we have tried but it seems we always come back to the crepe which has a wonderful white sauce with pimientos, green peppers, mushrooms and little shrimps. The bread is hot "pizza" crusts cut in triangles with parmesan cheese on top. I had the grilled pork chops and a nice salad for the main course. The others opted for the vegetable plate (spinach, peas, squash, carrot and potato) along with grilled meat. For dessert I chose the flan which is made in the restaurant and not "store bought" as some is. Of course, Dave, Barbara and I had coffee to finish the meal.
We took Barb and Dave home and then headed out to Plaza Oeste to do our grocery shopping at the big supermarket called JUMBO. We got home around five.
