Can We Talk Kitchen?
Julian certainly hopes that you have enjoyed the recipes that have appeared in the first three issues of the CHRONICLE. There are many more to come in future issues, but this month the recipe file stays closed.
As promised, this column is intended to be a celebration about the glories of food not just food personally prepared but food prepared in
restaurants, too. So this month we are doing our first restaurant review.
Let me start by stating that all restaurant reviews will be spontaneous. They have not been requested by the restaurant owners and Julian's identity is not made known. All reviews will be made after several visits to the restaurant with a number of dining companions.
Tucked away on the lower level of the Lake House Condominium Building at 11850 Edgewater in Lakewood is the Lake House
Restaurant. Offering a superb, panoramic view fo the lakeshore and downtown Cleveland, the restaurant is a most pleasant dining establishment. It's small, cozy, and comfortable. If you enter the building from the front, you need to buzz the restaurantfor entry and then walk down a hallway. It's better to park on the west side of the building and enter the restaurant directly from the rear and ask for a parking permit.
Come to the Lake House Restaurant when you aren't in a hurry. Most dishes are prepared from scratch and take some time. Overall, the food is very tasty. We aren't talking gourmet cuisine here, but we are talking about good, generous portions at incredibly economical prices. Prices for dinner vary between $3.00 and $9.00 with most being in the $4.00 to $5.00. range
Service is pleasant and attentive. Dinners include

a cold, green salad with the usual choices of dressing French, thousand island,
creamy Italian, blue cheese and vinegar and oil. Hot, fresh garlic bread accompanies the salad. Entrees are numerous and include a number of daily specials. Particularly good is the sauteed perch dinner as well as the pepper steak with rice. The veal parmagi ana features a pressed veal patty with zesty tomato sauce and spaghetti cooked al dente. Grilled pork chops are juicy and served with a flavorful onion gravy. Another night a whole baked chicken leg was on the menu. It should have been cooked just a little longer as the meat at the joint was too pink for most tastes. Entrees come with a choice of potato crispy home fried, baked or mashed. A vegetable is also included. Saturday night is prime rib night with really good quality beef, a great buy at $6.95.

Desserts are somewhat
limited with several flavors of ice cream and the house specialty usually available. The house specialty is an applesauce refrigerator cake
light and luscious. Homemade cheese cake, made from a secret recipe is often available, too.
The restaurant serves luncheon and dinner with hours from 11:00am to 9:00pm Tuesday through Friday. On Sunday they open at 9:00am and serve breakfast all day, along with their usual luncheon and dinner menu until 9:00pm. The breakfast speciality is thick cut French toast which is quite popular.
No liquor is served or allowed in the dining area of the Lake House Restaurant, although you can bring a bottle of wine and enjoy it before dinner in the attractive adjacent lounge area.
For a great view, remarkable value and hosts that welcome everyone, I highly recommend the Lake
House Restaurant.

The Fourth Moon--the Moon of Creating--20 May to 17 June, 1985
During the Summer Seasons, fast approaching, we should learn to develop the ability to move with the time. Too much has been spent on holding back, expecting things, anticipating. We should be out there doing, not planning. We have to be in accord with our circumstances. Look deep into the inner nature and take the time to pass the gold hidden within through the forge of action. The resulting metal will surpass even your greatest expectations.
