My Two Cents
What's in an ashtray?
If
you were a regular here in the 70s, 80s and 90 you remember the distinctive
ash-tray on every table. Big cigars and dainty cigarettes would be flicked into
these gorgeous gems. A white porcelin masterpiece with a
flourished "Casa Dante" logo on the face. It was a sight to
behold. I remember having a birthday party here some time ago, prior to our
current tenure. Armed with the knowledge that friends, smokers and non-smokers
alike, adored and lusted after these antiques, I provided them as favors for my
guests. They're now being used to hold change, business cards, candies and
one customer uses it to hold his guitar picks; no lie!. Boy do I wish they were
back. I have two or three left and they look(ed) like this:
Isn't
it amazing how a simple ashtray can spark so many memories?? Enjoy and see you
soon!
Thanks

discount to active military personnel and their families. God Bless
America!

Owner's Table
For those of
you who "friend" us on Casa Dante Facebook, you know that I take photos of food and goodies at my table
and post them. We use our "like"FACEBOOKto notify
events, parties, holidays and the like. But our "friend" page is
reserved for my own messages to you...usually involves food.....my friends love
these...some of you who have moved to far away places ( Florida, North
Carolina, California etc ) really seem to appreciate them.
If you're on Facebook, check us out. We'd love
to see you there!

This wasn't my dish at
the table, but it was devoured.
