An awesome gathering of ten worked its way down the long counter in the kitchen, where the dinner guests found either beef or vegetarian chili, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and a big ol’ pan of Granny Wilson’s honey wheat cornbread. That was last Thursday’s absolute highlight, and a long-anticipated reunion of friends both local and distant. It was a rare evening that required the accommodating spaces of the dining room, which lends an air of special celebration to a night like that.
