Annette's visit

We were very pleased to see our dear friend Annette come for a visit.  Annette lives in Perth, Western Australia and we all served together in the Army. It had been 6 years since we spent time together so we wanted to take every opportunity  to show Annette the many sights in San Antonio and surrounds. This day we were at Gruene which is around 35 miles from where we live and prior to going to lunch at the Grist Mill we stopped for a wee drop at the oldest dance hall in Texas, the set for the film Michael which we have mentioned in an earlier blog.

Gruene is a pretty little town with a very interesting general store.  Among its may wares it have an amazing range of jellies, all forms of chili and any form of peanut paste with whatever one wants added to it.  Ross and Annette gave it their best shot and sampled several of the tasters.

Some of it was so good Ross went back for another taste.

 During Annette's visit we were treated so some delicious Mexican fare.  The chefs are getting lots of encouragement from the lookers on.

Albert showed he had a flare when it came to tossing the tortilla's.

Once again he displayed his carving skills with the arrachira steak for the fajitas.

 The final stage following the many hours putting it all together.   It was truly delicious.

We were so pleased that Annette came to visit and that she was able to join us in this delicious meal.
Many thanks to our wonderful chefs.

Cheers Beverley and Ross
