| Almost married |
|
Another advantage to living on this side of the serving table is that one gets a unique perspective on events. We are the ones who get to stand in the back, watching, listening, anticipating. EVERYONE gets the front view, but really, isn't this a lovely picture? I love watchng the family doing the final tucking in, brushing back, arranging. This is when it is all real. Once the music starts and all heads turn around, the show starts. That's all well and good, but really, I love being in the back.

Waiting for the guests |
We had a perfect afternoon for this wedding. The bride had it timed perfectly, sun streaming in just at the right time. Our crew had everything all set for the reception. Mojitos flowed and crab cakes took flight right off the trays. One of our staffers, a mom herself, even had some all-natural, herbal bug mosquito spritz which she gladly pased around to us and the bridal party. We all smelled like eucalyptus and rosemary and that was just fine.

| Beautiful local cheeses |
|
Once the groom had stomped the glass and the guests had erupted with applause the Glen at Homewood filled with revelers. These local cheeses were particularly pleasing. Our local cows and goats worked hard, eating nice grass and hay and drinking pure water. I'm glad they all made their way to each other - and that we got to be the conduit.

Dinners to go |
Dinners, as you know, come with a freshly-made green salad, salad dressing of the day, and made-right-here bread of the day. We take reservations until noon or so. Please order by phone (252-1500), by FAX (252-02002) or stop in to speak to one of us in person.
Here is the menu for this week:
Monday June 26 Sherried Chicken with Scalloped Potatoes 10.00
Tuesday June 27 Chipotle BBQ Chicken with Mac + Cheese 9.75
Wednesday June 28 Grilled Flank Steak with Madeira Sauce 11.50
Thursday June 29 Lemon Rosemary Braised Chicken and Rice 9.75
Friday June 30 Baked Snapper, Fried Green Tomatoes + Corn Relish 12.76
By the way, every time you order a dinner to go you are eligible to enter our drawing. Just drop a card in our drawing jar (a business card works or fill out one of the cards that we have right here) and, at the end of the month, we'll pull one card which will be good for two free dinners-to-go. Inaugurated a few months ago, our first winner was delighted! Maybe you'll win next month.
Order a lot? Enter a lot!
Good luck!!
