Last night we enjoyed another wonderful evening at Joe's Secret Garden. We started off in the back garden but after an hour the sun had gone down and the temperature had dropped. It was time to move in doors.
There were lots of new people to meet and find a little more about them. We meet a really nice couple who just happens to live in our building. They are Bruce & Carolla from Libby, Montana (small world). Their transition has not been an easy one for they had rented a house and it ended up having black mole.
Last night because of the number of people wanting to come to dinner, Joe had two seating's. The first group started their dinners at 6:30 and we were in the second seating at 7:15. Joe did this to keep the food hot and fresh.
The dinner last night was Southern Fried Chicken, Creamed Potatoes, Milk Gravy, Mardi Gras Slaw, Buttermilk Biscuits, Apple Butter, and Sweet Tea.
The picture of my plate was before the potatoes or slaw had been delivered to my end of the table. I was worried that I would forget to take a picture when it arrived because I was hungry and ready to get into the hot chicken.... Real southern comfort food for the body and soul!
We enjoyed another great table of new friends and had good conversations. Two of the couples are 'Old Timers' and have been here a couple of years. Then, the other couple (besides Ed & me) were new and they were only visiting and checking out the country. They were from Houston and we had a few things in common with them.
It was just another great event and Ed and I chatted about the evening as we walked home in the cool night air. We got back home around 9:45 in time for Ed to catch the end of the Notre Dame Game. Their win was the cap of a ver good evening!
