Today we stood out front of St. Helena's taking photos,
sizing up the satisfied customers as they departed, and
watching to see where to enter what turned out to be a
fabulous family-style feed. We started with
salads--shredded lettuce, pasta, fresh fruit, and
jello--which we took to tables where eight and more were
seated. As we ate, we met new friends--some from the area,
some (like us) who had to drive a bit to get here. Our
empty plates were cleared by attentive and congenial
hosts--young and not-so-young (but all good looking!)--and
then the platters and bowls were brought in: turkey piled
high, dressing, (real) mashed potatoes, rolls & butter, and
side-dishes of gravy and cranberry sauce. We helped
ourselves to generous portions and cleaned our plates.
Although we were plenty full, there were offerings of pie:
the season's first pumpkin, chocolate, blueberry, apple,
sour cream & raisen--who could resist! Hot coffee was
offered, received, and sipped as we sat back to hear tall
tales from our co-diners. We were full as ticks, and
thought we'd never be hungry again, but writing this now
makes me want to go back for just a wee bit more of that
tender turkey. Fall suppers--they're a good thing.
