CAFE and THEN SOME
Due to some hard economic times, we haven't been able to go to The Cafe and Then Some for several years, but FINALLY this year things turned around some and we had the extra cash to go to one of our favorite Christmas productions. I might add, any show put on by Cafe and Then Some is well worth attending.
We got there early enough to enjoy some great appetizers. We started with a couple of cups of Brunswick stew, which I really liked, but Peggy thought was a little too spicy. Above is our shared plate of fried green tomatoes - dusted in corn meal, deep-fried, and served with home-made pimiento cheese and a roasted red pepper coulis. Below is our other shared plate of duck burritos - Slow-roasted duck mixed with onions, peppers and cheese, then seasoned and rolled up in a warm flour tortilla. Served with corn relish and sour cream. Both of these were great and I would have a hard time choosing which one was better, but the duck burritos might slightly edge out the fried green tomatoes.
I would also like to mention, how good the service was (as good as many high end restaurants), add that with the Good Food and Good Entertainment and there's not much more you can ask for in an evening out.

SWELL RECORD SUNDAY
What I like about this album cover is the little tree and the GIANT presents and as a bonus it contains one of my favorite Christmas tunes - "To Heck With Old Santa Claus"

FREAKY RECORD FRIDAY
I bought this album just for the cover, which was a good thing since it didn't have a record. The Rhodes Kids were a family group like The Cowsills and if you look on you-tube there are several songs from this LP. The Rhodes Kids have an interesting connection to The Mob (unbeknownst to them, I'm sure) , you can read it HERE.

ZANY RECORD THURSDAY
When Chanukah and Christmas collide you get Hanukkah Harry and a Christmas Tree with a Star of David on top.
