Rainy January 25th at Joe's Secret Garden.

The rainy night did not dampen the enthusiasm or appetite of a crowd that included six newcomers.

I must apologize for not publishing the menu for 1-25-20 last night. Originally Ken felt I did not need to photograph the evening. After the downpour ended, I grabbed a taxi and arrived at Joe's to start documenting the evening.

MENU: Two main courses to choose from:

Italian Osso Buco, cooked long and slow in a rich vegetable/tomato sauce to remind your taste buds of your favorite stew ... or, if you prefer, our popular herb-garlic Roast Chicken. Both follow our unique avocado, beet, and orange salad with a secret cider dressing. And, accompanying your main course, is creamy polenta and local vegetables.

For dessert, Ecuador lime squares, coffee and tea selections (Jack).
