Friday’s Quotes for the Chicks
“Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed… I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.“
Delia Smith
Last weekend Marc and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary by having our annual lunch at our favorite restaurant: Pickety Place located in Mason NH. This restaurant is a New Hampshire treasure located way back in the woods off the path of a windy dirt road.
The restaurant’s claim to fame is that a small gardening shack on the property was the inspiration for the drawings used in a copy of Little Red Riding Hood. *I*, however, think that their true claim to fame is the food. Each lunch is a 5 course meal which uses herbs and flowers grown on the property.
Thought I’d give you a little taste of the fall season at Pickety Place.
Lunch was potato/vegetable gratin. (you have a choice of a veggie meal or one with meat)
There are 3 lunch seatings at the the restaurant, and hey encourage you to walk the grounds until the lunch bell rings. (so we did)
All around the property you’ll find ripe pumpkins that have been artfully placed.
The atmosphere on the grounds is rusticly relaxed.
If you look carefully, you’ll even find hidden treasures among the plants.
And if you happen to have a celebration, they are more than happy to share in your joy.
*
Be safe and see you all next week.
