September 22: Food, Conversation and Laughter

We went to dinner at Connie and Bob's home tonight.  Bob is one of the instructors/mentors/ woodworkers at the school.  That is the original connection, but I discovered that Connie is one of those people that just knows how to make people comfortable and welcomed.  I hope there will be more nights like this.

What was on the menu?  We had a vegan meal.  The food was mainly from their garden.  The sauce/gravy was unbelievable and was good on everything.  We had Swiss Chard, curly kale, and a very interesting veggie called a ground cherry.  The main course was so delicious that I asked for the recipe and will be adding it to my menu in the near future.  Kevin managed to even get his ice cream fix -- vegan chocolate ice cream, vegan chocolate sauce, and vegan whipped topping.  Although it was not Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia he would not turn down another dish the next time it was offered.
