Paisley never goes out of style

Chicken Pie 2007


And neither does good, stick-to-your ribs comfort food.

Once again, the first Saturday in November finds Linda and I elbow deep in food as the First Congregational Church has their annual Chicken Pie Scholarship Dinner.

I wrote about this last year, and it was pretty much the same thing. A lot of work in preparation and cleanup. We served about 160 dinners and raised about $1,200 for the church scholarship fund.

Not as many leftovers this year, which is just as well, considering we've both done so well about losing weight. And just like last year, I received a number of compliments on my apron. In fact, so many people commented that I began to wonder if they were being facetious.

Naw. Not after I took such pains to coordinate the apron with the rest of my outfit, right?

  1. Paisley was only in style for about three months in 1966 or so, right around the time dickies and nehru jackets were cool.

    Now please excuse me. I'm putting on my leisure suit and heading down to the lodge for a Thanksgiving fish-fry.

  2. Don't forget to put that big ol' butterfly collar of your polyester Qiana shirt over the jacket collar.
