Often we are pleasantly surprised when we go into a restaurant!
It might be the decor, or the setting, and often can be the food!
Yep, even in this day and age, we do have places such as this one that serve wonderfully home-cooked meals.
Shepherds Pie, Chicken Stew, Roast Chicken with all the trimmings.
Topped off with a spectacular home made dessert such as Apple, Raisin, Cherry Pie.
Maybe a Home-made cream Puff slathered in real whipped cream,
and or a home-made Danish, cookies and date squares!
Everything in this little Jewel is Home Made!
They don't even have a deep fryer!
So, no French fries, and or fried foods.
Just old-fashioned made from scratch meals.
The decor is homey and pleasant.
The staff is wonderful and the coffee is always fresh!
The place is always packed with the regular coffee drinkers in the morning to
the working men in from the fields and or Job site outside.
Huge servings of hot nutritious food.
Every one eats everything up and the plates are left bare.
Patsy, (the owner) will be getting this painting for Christmas from her staff.
I painted it just for them.
And for her, a woman that has a right to be proud when she says.

Hi, Love the idea of all the flying teddy bears and what a great idea sending them to the children's hospitals. Your description of the restaurant food at Crossfields made me so hungry. It all sounded delicious. What can I say about Shaugh's gingerbread house looks good enough to eat, lol.
Have been a bit tied up of late, my husband is going through a bad spell healthwise just now. The last lot of antibiotics seem to be working.
Love looking at your blog and reading your anecdotes. Have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful and happy 2009
Katie
