Friends, good food, and air conditioning

August 31, 2012

Made it to Fort Smith where we were able to meet Harrison's girlfriend, Anna, and enjoy some good old southern air conditioning!   A great way to spend the afternoon.

This evening we were treated to a wonderful dinner at one of Harrison's favorite restaurants - the food was amazing, as were the drinks.  It was very authentic Mexican food, and the company made the dinner even better.

Going to the Farmer's Market today!  We are looking for some veggies to go with our dinner - Harrison and I are going to do a cook off using the salmon we brought them.  I think it sounds like a lot of fun.  Larry is not too excited, he is not a fan of salmon, but  he is being a good sport none the less.  We found him a great steak at a meat store that smelled, out of this world. 


Found some nice green beans at the market as well as some fresh okra that I plan to cook for Larry - hard to beat fried okra!

Anna is delightful, smart, funny, easy going and always willing to pitch in.  I can see why she and Harrison get along so well.

Dinner was wonderful.  Hannah, Harrison and Anna made this caper, lemon sauce for the fish, and then Larry did a superb job of grilling it.  The pasta I made was only okay, and as soon as I tasted the sauce on the fish, I immediately conceded the win to Harrison, and then made sure I got the recipe!  The fried okra turned out pretty good though with Larry commenting that it was, and I quote, ' Perfect".  Can't get much better than that.   : )

Harrison and Anna went to see a movie, but us old fogies, just hung out and visited - think we got the best part of that deal.
