Well, our Chicken in Riesling was a big non-hit. Boo to Gourmet magazine. Last night we had chili and a salad. It was delish. Tonight? Maybe Sushi Katana.

While we were watching the movie last night we ate, baked pretzels, nachos, wings and celery/carrots. It was good. These Nebraskans are funny people

But really, my Sister and co have a very laid back approach to food, no hint of a set meal time or anything, actually my Sister only generally eats like once a day.

Hi! We live close to Turner Field, somewhat downtown..

Hey, another Canadian in the Atlanta area! Nice to meet you Steph. Whereabouts are you located? (We're about 22 miles south of Atlanta).

Tonight was a stir fry/saute with the left over roast chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, corn, peas in a garlic ginger sauce and spiral noodles, a salad and ice tea. We got into the 80s ehre today and are currently under a dark threatening sky with thunderstorms in the forecast. Right now it is that pause before the storm and it goes along very well with sitting back after dinner and just relaxing:-).

Well, we just got back from a lovely dinner with Karen and Joel at the Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, Georgia (what a name, eh?). Social Circle is the epitome of the antebellum south with wonderful old plantation mansions and gorgeous landscape 'vista' lawns everywhere you turn:-). Blue Willow Inn is one of them. In spite of having reservations for 6 they made us wait nearly half an hour because a group of 16 who had previous reservations were 1 1/2 hours late and instead of telling them they were no longer good they honoured them even though it made everyone else's reservations late. (They had told Karen they would only hold our reservation for 15 minutes so we were not impressed about this!).

Regardless, once we were seated everything was great. The service was very solicitous and the food - which is a large Southern buffet - excellent. Tonight was 'seafood' night so along with the traditional southern fare of green beans, collards, baked beans, sweet potato casserole, twice baked potatoes ( and a bunch of other stuff) they had scallops, shrimp, crab legs, breaded shrimp, catfish, salmon, stuffed crab, roast beef and barbeque beef - plus a salad bar and a dessert bar. We were all stuffed!

It was lots of fun - Karen and Joel said to say hi to everyone and they are both really busy with work right now but haven't forgotten anyone on VJ :-)! So, what's for dinner tonight? Far, far too much food! hehehehehe

Sounds like a really nice dinner, glad you had a good time!

I had a grilled chicken salad from Wendys

Sounds like a great dinner Kathyrn. And the wait likely wasn't to bad since you had good company.

Pics. Pics. Where are our pics?!!!

Last night we had one of my favourite salads: romaine, radicchio, fresh basil and Italian parsley from the garden, mushrooms, and fresh shaved parmesan with a red wine vinaigrette. First time hubby ever tried it and he loves it. Yay! We also had a spicy Thai shrimp and noodles dish. Then fresh strawberries with a fruit dip. (cream cheese and marshmallow fluff) I only had room for the salad and the strawberries. I'll probably have the Thai shrimp for lunch or sumpin. Tonight we will have a pork roast, I think.

Pics are still on our cameras! Karen has some too so when we get them transferred to the computer, we will share:-).

We had a great time, can't wait to meet up again, maybe up here?

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Sounds good to us - maybe we can get a sample from that new grill of yours!
