It certainly sounds as if they are passionate about food and take care with the sourcing of ingredients.

He did some specials on TV about the situation with our public school's lunch menus. I haven't seen anymore about this,however. The schools are changing a bit and adapting some of his ideas.Thankyou for posting a bit about his family. That Pub looks like one that I could imagine in England. You have so many interesting bits of history almost right next door.. it would seem. <br />My work is just about done in the garden too. Now on to the holidays.It will be interesting to read about your holiday traditions.<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-40758487489753179872010-10-17T14:58:16.030+01:002010-10-17T14:58:16.030+01:00What a treat!

Love it.<br /><br />I was noticing on your profile, that you and your husband met and married in four months. So did Don and I. We met on a Saturday. Checked in again on a Sunday. By Monday we knew it was just a matter of time - a very SHORT time. Congratulations on 50 years. We are at 32 but we didn't marry until our 30's so we will be in our 80's by the time we hit 50 years.<br /><br />AnnieAnnie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-89371064877758761442010-10-16T23:15:55.239+01:002010-10-16T23:15:55.239+01:00What a lovely pub to visit.

I have to say that I was ashamed of the way our State treated him. We should have welcomed him with open arms, but was very rude to him. I just hope he does not think all of us from this State was like the ones he met in Huntington WV. He did open our eyes to how the schools feed our kids.<br /><br />WillowBetty https://www.blogger.com/profile/09718576668233061528noreply@blogger.com
