SPRING DINNER MEETINGS

MARCH LUNCHEON/MEETING

On March 22, the luncheon/meeting at Silver Heights Restaurant was well attended, with 22 members and guests enjoying food, fellowship, and camaraderie.

The lunch at Rae and Jerry's, however, was less fortunate—only Kev showed up, and he was the sole attendee. Thankfully, Jessie steered him in the right direction, helping him make it to the actual lunch. Graciously, Jessie arrived late, so Kev wasn’t embarrassed walking in afterward. Such a kind gesture!

Silver Heights is famous for its ribs—the kind that fall off the bone and melt in your mouth with every tender bite. These ribs are slow-cooked to perfection, seasoned just right with a rich, smoky glaze that adds depth of flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the meat. The texture is so succulent that every bite seems to give way effortlessly, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that keeps diners coming back time and time again. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause between bites, savoring the richness, and wondering how they manage to make it taste so irresistible every single time.

Silver Heights is also renowned for its thick, creamy, and wonderfully loaded soup. A comforting bowl of this soup is a perfect start to any meal, or as a meal. With its velvety texture and rich, hearty flavors. Every spoonful is packed with ingredients, from chunks of tender vegetables to flavorful herbs, making each bite a deliciously satisfying experience. It's the kind of soup that feels like a warm hug on a chilly day, and no wonder it was so popular with our members on that cold, spring day.

… but the desserts were what got us talking!  Thankfully members didn’t have to choose between carrot cake or cheesecake, when they could simply have both! The obvious choice was the Carrot Cake Cheesecake—why pick just one when you can have both?

There was a sense of anticipation in the air! The conversation seemed to be bubbling with enthusiasm as everyone gathered to talk about the upcoming breeding season. You could feel the passion as people debated whether it was truly spring yet. Some might have argued that it’s still too chilly for the season to have truly arrived, while others, perhaps with a bit of wishful thinking, were already embracing the warmer days, imagining the promise of new beginnings that spring brings.

The whole atmosphere was one of community, where the blend of excitement, debate, and lighthearted fun made the conversation feel warm and engaging.
