Make that Smoked Sausage, Spinach and Wild Rice Soup (homemade bone broth).

I am traveling from Delavan WI. I will be about 20 minutes late. If you want to order for me I will do half fried chicken dinner with mashed that includes the salad bar!

HI,

I offered my thoughts on Harner's here.

Food Nut, I hope you will fill in the details on the dinner roll/biscuit in the bread basket.

Nr705, MoetChandon and I reviewed our calendars to settle on April 28th probably around 5 pm.

It really was nice to see everyone today.

Regards,
Cathy2

I felt like I missed saying goodbye to a lot of people! I turned around and you were gone. It was lovely to see some folks I haven't seen in—a year?

PS - so far so good on the doughnuts.

Yesterday, I cracked into pork four ways:

My absolute favorite variation: Pork in bacon milk gravy over polenta

Seconded by: Sauteed pork in Carolina mustard BBQ sauce over brown rice

Third and still delicious: Pork in tomato vegetable stew over noodles

Fourth was sauteed pork in aglio e olio over sauteed potatoes --- the other three were so good, this simply paled by comparison. By itself, it probably would have been just fine.

Thank you for your creativity!

Regards,

Anyone? I loved Harner's-- it scratched so many itches. I also can be convinced to go to White Fence Farm or Vito and Nick's, Chinatown, Potsticker house.

I'm going through old kitchen tools. Might be fun to come to dinner with some you love and share....

For several months, we have wanted to go to a restaurant in Niles that has yet to open.

If you want to take the lead for January, I think that would be fine. We have found meeting on Sundays is more convenient. You might want to send a PM to Nr706 and I about dates, then post away!

Super Bowl Sunday has been a great time to meet, too.

I have been keeping a close eye on said restaurant in Niles for the past year. They are certainly taking their time opening, since the original stated opening date is almost a year ago.

They seem to be in a decorating phase right now. I drive down that part of Dempster frequently and will post the minute I see any possibility of actually *eating* there.

I called the Bridgeview location this morning; they said it will open "early next month." I think this was from the same person who told me, a few months ago, it would open in early November.

Is there a reason one's mentioning the name of the restaurant?

No reason. It's Al Bawadi.

Yes, I figured but I didn't want to spill the beans, in case there was a reason you all were holding back.
