a great evening with great food

You might think I added the line about food just to capture the interest is this foodie group. But no, it really was a great food event!

Callie's parents, Leslie and John Enlow, were in town. We wanted to get together with them so the natural choice was G&G Mobil Bistro! A 'restaurant' in Ben & Callie's neighborhood--they can walk there from their home--that Ben has been pushing me to visit for a while for its incredible food. The Enlow's and Callie arrive via car--Ben on his 'girl' bike. Bandero came along for the visit. (I have a cute picture of Callie and Bandero--but can't figure how to get it nto the blog...)

G&G is a tiny kitchen in a food truck, located behind a bar overlooking the San Antonio River in the Missions area. We sat at a picnic table overlooking the river on a wonderfully cool, lovely evening. We bought our wine from the bar that fronts the bistro on the street. Our menu was a fix prix four course meal--no choice, except you don't have to have all four courses. The menu changes each night--ours was leek & potato bisque, field green salad with goat cheese crouton, crusty grilled salmon with potatoes, and a nutella dessert. Small servings but each really delicious! The meal is served in plastic cups or paper dishes with plastic forks--which you save from course to course. Very frugal but oh so very delicious! What fun. There was a guitarist playing part of the time and recorded music when he was off. It was quiet enough for us all to engage in conversation.

All made possible by Pam's volunteering to stay with Kenny for the evening! Thanks, Pam.

So much fun. An how exciting to see this happening in our own San Antonio!
