T Stands For Christmas Past

 

Still no word on Chris's napkins, so today we are visiting Christmas past.  Maybe it will help cool a few of us who are still in the throes of this ungodly heat wave.

  Right before Christmas 2021, I treated my foodie friend Sally to a meal at The Copper Oven.  I found this image on the internet, because when we got there, I didn't realize it at the time, but I had left my camera at home.  I never leave my camera, so it was quite a shock when I looked for it and couldn't find it in the car.  

We started with a red pepper hummus appetizer tray.  You can see Sally took the photos using her phone.  I am in the process of removing my disposable gloves.  I still wear gloves and a mask when I go out.  Remember this was December, 2021 and there were still many deaths each day due to Covid 19.  Yes, my way-too-large sweat shirt has a rocking horse on it.

The reason I even thought about this post was because the owner was being interviewed, along with a couple other restaurant owners who were having to cut back on hours because they couldn't hire enough staff to keep the restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Instead, the Copper Oven decided to only open for breakfast and lunch, which is not reflected in the above menu I also found online.

 

On the day we were there, we were too late for breakfast, but too early for dinner, which started at 5 pm.

I'm not sure where my meal is, but I can see the hummus tray and Sally's meal on the right.  Remember, Sally took these photos.  Whatever we got, we both had salads, because I see mine in the upper left of the photo.

At least she remembered to take a photo of our lemon water.  That's me in the upper left of the photo.

Here's another view, and I still have no idea what I had to eat.

Sally had something with fried onions.  You can tell it is Sally's plate because it has that disgusting ketchup on the plate in which she can drown her fries.  

 

Sally had a piece of lemon meringue pie, and I passed on dessert. This is a photo from the Copper Oven's web site, although we DID have to pass that case filled with similar goodies on the way to our booth.

While I was paying the bill, which I remember came to nearly $40.00 (USD), Sally took a photo of this Christmas village.  Glad she did so I could prove we were there around Christmas, 2021.

Now it's time to share your own drink related post.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, a favorite mug, cup and saucer, teapot, coffee pot, or even a wine glass. Regardless, please join us by linking below.  Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T participants.  Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  That's fairly obvious from my own post this week!  Please remember to visit your fellow T participants.
