July 23, 2015

Our dinner on July 23rd took us to J King's in Gambrills. The evening started with drinks and conversation at the bar.





Then on to dinner.




Many members took advantage of the Thursday night special - a 1 pound Maine lobster, green beans, baked potato and side salad for $19.99. 




We were even serenaded with music during the meal.



Another fun evening with good food, good music and great conversation.

June 20, 2015

On a warm June afternoon, a group of second chancers gathered at Darlene’s beautiful home for a wonderful picnic. The weather might have been warm but everyone remained cool under the tent.

   

When the rain started, some hardy souls remained under the tent, but another group went inside for conversation and food.  The food was wonderful with a wide variety of appetizers, salads and desserts.

A group of 15 second chancers ventured over the Bay Bridge for a delightful dinner at Bridges.

Lorraine promised there would not be any trouble with the traffic going across the bridge and she was correct.  It was smooth sailing. There was a great band in the background, great food, good conversation and delightful weather.  Definitely a must for next year’s calendar.

It was a small group of 2 that made it to the Blue Angel performance. We looked on with amazement as the jets passed over and in front of us. Hopefully more of our group will join us next year to watch this awe inspiring performance.

Dinner at Pusser's Restaurant

On Thursday, February 28th, our group dined at Pusser's Caribbean Grille (intersection of St. Mary's St. and Compromise St.) located in The Annapolis Marriott Waterfront Hotel.

During the months of January and February, Pusser's offers special dinners which include lobster tail with filet mignon, or 2 lobster tails, or lobster mac and cheese with filet mignon.  Also included were a salad and dessert.  All of which were excellent according to our the members who attended this dining out event.

We took advantage of the restaurant's 2-hour free valet parking, as parking in Annapolis can be a problem.  Most of us however, stayed beyond the 2 hours, just chatting with each other after dinner.

One new person joined us that night. To her advantage, our usual routine is to meet in the bar area around 6:00 PM while waiting for everyone to arrive. This socializing before dinner makes it easier for 'new people' to become more acquainted with our members. Below are some pictures in the bar while we waited for all to arrive.







 
We had reserved a table in the restaurant area for all of us, and around 6:30 PM we left the bar area and sat down to order our dinners. On this particular evening, Pusser's limited us to 16 people because of the restaurant's space limitations, so it was first come first served with the RSVPs.  Usually we can seat up to 20 at other area restaurants, but it is good to keep this in mind in case we have limitations in the future. 







Everyone ordered one of the specials, and all raved over how good the food was.  With the excellent service and good food we will plan to go back again.  Maybe we will try it again in the summer where we can sit outside along the waterfront.

By The Water

Another night out with friends at the Severn Inn.  Though the evening was warm, we decided to eat outside under the umbrellas.  Usually it rains when we make reservations there, so we did not want to spend the time inside if we didn't have to.

Severn River Bridge









After dinner the temperature dropped and it became very pleasant on the deck.  We all stayed around for a while, enjoying the view and good conversation.

Dinner at Lemongrass

   Our dinner in April was at the Lemongrass Restaurant in Annapolis. Though a bit hard to find, located in a shopping center, it was worth going there.  We met at the bar as usual, but had to discourage an anxious waiter who kept wanting us to be seated at our table.




   However, we like to stay at the bar for about 30 minutes.  Some of our members come from work, and so arrive at varying times.  We like to wait for them at the bar, so that we all can be seated at the same time.  Hanging out at the bar for a little while also enables us to mingle a bit more. You don't have to order a drink if you don't want to.



   After being seated we got into the serious business of ordering and eating.  We enjoyed our stay, and might go back again sometime.
