Jim Westmoreland and family attend their first FOG Dinner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Next week the Pueblo Harvest Cafe<\/a><\/strong> within the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center <\/a><\/strong> will host a number of events during the world-renowned Gathering of Nations<\/a><\/strong>, but on Friday, April 22nd at 6:30<\/strong>, the venue belonged to the Friends of Gil (FOG) who convened for dinner at the spectacular cafe. This Gathering of Gastronomes included ten first-timers who joined us for an evening of fun, food and friendship. A good time was had by all.<\/span><\/p>\n

FOG Members Come From Many Walks of Life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Though we were invited to enjoy music and dancing on the patio after our dinner, several of us lingered in the dining room where we continued to enjoy great conversation and even better people. This wasn’t the first FOG Dinner in which we closed the restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perusing the menu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So what do Friends of Gil talk about? Being a well-traveled group of gastronomes, several of us swapped tales of travel to Australia. John and Kay Lucas lived there for eight years while Mary and Mack Kroner just returned from a two-week excursion. Mary, who did a tremendous job organizing the event, brought back a number of delicious Australian cheeses which she and Mack graciously shared with Kim and me. First-timers Jim and Sylvia Westmoreland also spent time in the Land Down Under.<\/span><\/p>\n

At this table, discussion centered around traveling to Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several people enjoyed the Pueblo Harvest’s version of a Tewa taco, a delightful dish featured in a recent airing of the Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations<\/em>. Others enjoyed such culinary delights as lamb chops, blue corn encrusted fried chicken, Jemez-style enchiladas and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look for more details on the next Friends of Gil dinner, slated for July, on this site. We hope to see you there. A great big thank you to Mary for putting together another great FOG evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
