Let’s Eat...What better way is there to celebratesummer than to have a cookout,a picnic, or family potluck?And what about a night on thetown or a day at the fair?We took a survey recently andfound the number one place ourreaders enjoy going is “out to eat”
Regardless of the budgetor schedule,
we all like to dine out oncein
awhile. The survey alsorevealed “dining out” as the
number one thing to do. So if you cancombine another
activity with a special food event, thenthat’s a big
bonus!Some of my favorite memories are during a mealwith family or friends. For instance a few years ago,my husband andI took two of our grandchildren to afancy seafood restaurant in Orlando, Fla. It was knownfor serving the lobster caught by staff of the TimeBandit featured on the television show, “DeadliestCatch” What a luxery. We got to watch the oldest eat asalmon patty for the first time ever and she liked it.The other granddaughter, however, insisted on eatingchicken. The chef obliged. The desert of chocolate cakewas big enough to serve all four of us.So this issue is the first of many to come addressingfun places to go (to enjoy eating,) things to do (whilewe enjoy eating) and people to see (to help us enjoyeating.Food, food, and more food. We can learn how to make preparations for a food party. See page 8. Or wecan find out where the best burger in Indiana is served. See page 6. How about a festival namedfor a particular type of food? See pages 7 and 10.Whateveryour choice, be sure to take time to enjoy food, your family and friends.
