Good morning! Yesterday was a beautiful Saturday. I woke up, took my daughter to
basketball, and went for a nice and easy 4 ½ mile run.
Later on in the day, Fred and I were invited to a luncheon
at the home of Cole and Elsie.
They are a nice couple from our church and they planned a very nice meal
for us. Take a look!
We sat down to a beautiful table spread, complete with menu
cards at each place setting. I
think I will have to steal this idea for my next lunch or dinner event!
First course started the lunch with a choice of clam chowder
or tomato soup. I chose
tomato! It was delicious and I
have to get the recipe from Elsie.
The main course was a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch
meal…chicken potpie. This comfort
food was creamy and rich, and it was filled with juicy chicken, potatoes, herbs
and homemade noodles. Yum!
Dessert followed with a delectable tray of goodies including
rice krispie treats with chocolate, assorted pastries, and a fruit combination
of peaches and bananas in a rich cherry sauce.
Elsie and Cole have a huge garden during the summer months
and they can a lot of veggies.
They make a lot of pickled relishes and homemade jellies and jams too. Take a look at their canning
cellar. Isn’t it amazing?
They also have a cold cellar which is placed under their
front porch. It is a walk-in room nestled
deep into the ground that remains at a steady 55 degrees all year long. Here they keep their stock of onions
and potatoes for use throughout the year.
You don’t find these too often in new construction!
What a nice way to spend a Saturday lunch! Good food, good conversation, and I learned a lot!
Now I am off to my morning track workout with Coach
Jesse. This will be my first
“real” workout on the track in years.
I told him to take it easy on me, so we’ll see if he listens. I will fill you in on the details
tomorrow. Have a great
Sunday!
Tracy
