Tuesday, October 28, 2008Pond House CaféI can’t remember who told me about Tasty Tuesdays at the Pond House Café, but today was the last day for their Oktoberfest fi
xed menu of potato pancake, weiner schnitzel, and black forest cake, for $15.55 each. That would have worked fine except the caramel-topped cider sounded delicious (it was), and the coffee polished off the meal nicely with the cake. They started Tasty Tuesdays in May and apparently they’ve been a hit. Our server said that just about every plate being served at the same time we were that night was the special. ($50.93) (Jan)
Friday, June 20, 2008St. John's Episcopal Church, organ concert with Charlotte Wakeman Beers
While our friends Bob and Jane from Iowa were visiting, the four of us went to an organ concert at St. John’s Episcopal Church on Farmington Avenue in West Hartford. The guest organist was Charlotte Wakeman Beers, a college sophomore majoring in music, from West Hartford who presented her third concert there. She has an amazing talent and presented a variety of composers and styles. We hope to see more of her! We hadn't had supper with Bob and Jane because we'd been too busy all day, so we were glad of the reception that followed the performance. ($20). (Jan)
