A Moveable Feast At The Bistro

    Last Saturday afternoon, February 1, my daughter Claire and her husband Miguel flew in to Columbus from Chicago,
Picture
​...for the wedding of my niece Madelyn and her fiancé Brady.
Picture
      Since the wedding was not until the following day, Claire and Miguel wanted to spend some time with Grammy, as my mom, here with Theresa, is known to her grandchildren.
Picture
     But as Claire and her Columbus siblings also wanted to squeeze in a get-together before the wedding I thought it would be a nice idea if we all went out for dinner. However a better idea than  taking on the always substantial task of maneuvering 99-year-old Grammy out to a restaurant (See post from 1/8/2020, "A Dilemma") and then trying to find a table for the seven of us on a busy Saturday night was an idea offered by one of my Facebook friends,
                                                           ...Sharon,
Picture
...who suggested that, rather than taking my mom out, we try bringing dinner in to mom's place, Sunrise of Gahanna, which has a lovely gathering area called the Bistro.
Picture
     To this end I checked with the Sunrise staff who said that bringing in a family dinner was perfectly admissible, encouraged, even. And so we did.
     Rather than order restaurant take-out,  I thought everyone would enjoy a home-cooked meal, which I cooked then we carted over to Sunrise.   

    On the menu was roast beef au jus,
Picture
...with mashed potato casserole, green beans almondine, mushrooms sauteed in butter, and a pan of hot rolls.
Picture
     For dessert there was apple pie made by Tom and cherry almond streusel pie made by me.
Picture
     When all the family members had arrived we brought Grammy from her Memory Care neighborhood down to the Bistro,
Picture
...then we dug into the feast.
Picture
Picture
     My mom greatly enjoyed dining in, as did we all.
