The past three days have been split into 18 hours of driving and camping. Last evening we finally pulled up in front of Thumbelina. We had just enough time to shower and meet our dear friends for an 11-11-11 celebration at 211 Clover...it's the number thing. The evening was outstanding.. My dinner was divine. I devoured the parmesan flan, followed with grilled sweetbreads in a very light tarragon sauce...My fellow guests had the grouper & the blue cheese filet...Delicious all around. On our last day of driving, we were fortified with peanut butter & crackers and copious amounts of coffee. A civilized dinner felt very, very good, indeed. Troy, the chef at 211 Clover, is consistently the best of the best in Louisville's excellent dining scene.
We left 211, heading toward Caffe Classico for a special concert by my friend, Graciela Perrone. She is just a delight. Her artistic skills include, but not are not limited to, flamenco dancer, singer, artist, great mother and a beautiful woman. I feel honored to know this incredible performer. By the end of the evening, Louisville's finest flamenco dancers were on the floor dancing as Gaciela sang a lovely Spanish song accompanied by Brent,one of the best Spanish guitars around. Ole!
My best friends forever, Marion and Charlie, held our seats while we gathered our wits and friends for the performance.. Cousin Richard from Chicago joined Mary Ann, Romeo, WFS & me as we rocked the night away.
