Let&#8217;s get to them.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was last week John Lennon&#8217;s 80th birthday, but yesterday was the 49th anniversary of &#8220;Imagine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of my readers mentioned that Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 was available on Steam and he thought it was interesting.<\/p>\n<p>The folks at Wiseacre 2 at B.B. King and Butler wanted me to remind everyone that the taproom is open. A customer says the new sign is awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight is $12 Burger and a Beer night at Rizzo&#8217;s. Patio seating is available.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a plug for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Black-Sheep-Meats-116613886797421\/\">Black Sheep Meats<\/a> at the request of my neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a thing called Pasta, Plate and Pinot at Catherine &amp; Mary&#8217;s. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/catherineandmarys\">Their Facebook page<\/a> has a menu for 10\/6 so perhaps it&#8217;s a Tuesday night thing? &#8230;Okay, going to back to 9\/29, also a Tuesday, there&#8217;s more info. Pasta, a plate of food, and a glass of wine for $25. Not bad. The menu for tomorrow has not been posted yet, but to give you an idea of what you get, here are the menus for the last two Tuesdays.<\/p>\n<p>October 6<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sourdough Panzenella | squash, pumpkin, walnuts, golden raisin agrodolce<\/li>\n<li>Gnudi | braised oxtail, beef shank, red wine<\/li>\n<li>Pinor Noir \/ Noah River<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>September 29<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plate: Spin Rossa Polenta | mushrooms, gorgonzola, brown butter, panna gratta<\/li>\n<li>Lumache | bison<\/li>\n<li>Pinot Noir \/ Noah River<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They tend to post their PPP menu in the 9:00 hour the day they run the Tuesday special. Keep in mind that&#8217;s after I&#8217;ve already left for work, so I won&#8217;t have the special posted here; you&#8217;ll need to check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/catherineandmarys\">C &amp; M&#8217;s Facebook page<\/a> for the announcement of tomorrow&#8217;s special.<\/p>\n<p>Cocozza&#8217;s hours now that they have the inside open for dining as well as the patio: Dinner Wed-Sat 4-9, brunch Sat 11-2. Sun 10-2.<\/p>\n<p>Bass Pro is having a hiring event Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>There was a suggestion that I mention a local rescue. Here are a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aliverescuememphis.org\/\">ALIVE Rescue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teammemphis.org\/\">Team Memphis Rescue<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sunnymeadows.org\/\">Sunny Meadows<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note that I am not a dog person, so I am not real familiar with any of these. Please do your own independent research if you consider adopting or fostering an animal from one of these.<\/p>\n<p>From the DM: <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/section\/metrospirit-of-memphis\/article\/17417\/midtown-rock-club-the-hi-tone-opens-in-third-location\">Hi-Tone reopens in its third location<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Biggs of the DM reports that <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/subscriber\/section\/food\/article\/17424\/the-future-is-bleak-for-puck-food-hall-events\">Daniel Masters is shutting down his restaurants in Puck Food Hal<\/a>l this week. The kitchen is simply too expensive to operate. Bar 409 will survive, as will independent restaurants Sweet Magnolia, Lulu&#8217;s, and Dr. Bean&#8217;s. The Huling Station outdoor dining space next to Puck, serving its restaurants as well as Grecian Gourmet and Memphis Soul, will remain at least until the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something safe to do on Halloween, there will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/halloween-full-moon-kayaking-tickets-124855545297\">Full Moon Kayaking<\/a> on the river that night. Note that this event is for experienced paddlers only. The weather will probably have turned cold by then (avg. 69\/49) and appropriate attire is necessary, with Halloween costumes encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>There was a request to highlight new beers around town. I&#8217;ll have to take a rain check on that one. By the time the request came in, I&#8217;d already eaten dinner; therefore I couldn&#8217;t visit the Flying Saucer due to the incredibly stupid health department requirement that you must purchase food to be served alcohol. These silly rules are costing businesses money.<\/p>\n<p>Entree choices at <a href=\"https:\/\/paulettes.net\/2020\/10\/06\/monday-night-special-october-12th-2020\/\">Paulette&#8217;s Monday night $19.95 3-course dinner<\/a> tonight are smoked salmon cakes and grilled brochette of chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Song currently stuck in my head: &#8220;Edelweiss&#8221; from <em>The Sound of Music<\/em>.
