No recipe again as the warmer weather is keeping us out of the kitchen. We are eating a lot of salads or other quick meals. Just in case you would like to try one of my old recipes, this link will take you to a crockpot meal for Spaghetti Bolognese.
As for today's post, I realized I hadn't shared a visit to a restaurant when our family was visiting from Germany. It was the last night of their vacation. A little poignant knowing we would be seeing them off at the airport the next day, but we had a wonderful time together. Great company with lots of laughter and good food, a perfect ending to a very special time together.
The statue with cowboy and rearing horse is magnificent close up, though I would prefer a more peaceful-looking sculpture. It's supposed to represent the Old West.
Inside it is decorated in a southwestern theme. Even the lights had horses and riders.
The mirror was above our table...
with a closer view of the American Indian Hopi Kachina doll folk art. And as I always do with things that make me curious, I did a quick overview search. "Hopi Kachina dolls are carved representations of spiritual beings central to Hopi religion and culture, serving as messengers between humans and the divine. They are primarily made by the Hopi people of northeastern Arizona.
Originally these dolls were made as gifts for young Hopi girls. The Kachina figures represent spiritual beings that aid the Pueblo cultures in survival, specifically teaching young girls about the connection between the spiritual and the natural worlds. Their primary purpose was, and continues to be, to teach Hopi children about the various Kachinas, their associated stories and their religious significance.”
The history of the Hopi Peoples can be found here.
These are the meals ordered by the family.
Thanks for looking and
have a great day!
