Saturday morning

Gearing up to put the binding on big blue today.  Not sure if Ev has to work or not this afternoon.  Going to work on getting that range hood and backsplash for the stove up, also.  If he has to work that might wait until tomorrow.

Found a recipe on Mennonite Girls Can Cook website for Refrigerator Potato Rolls I would like to try.  They sound very good and I'm a sucker for a good bread recipe.

Went out with my friend Diane last night to DeCamp Junction over in Staunton.  They have good pizza and it's a nice place to just sit and talk.  It's an old roadhouse, but not a bad place.  The service could be better, but for what we wanted, it worked out just fine.  And I like the history of the place!  Here's an excerpt from The Road Warrior's review of DeCamp:

Perhaps one of the most exciting gangster events to happen in the area came about in the 1930s when a large black sedan rolled up out front of Duda's Restaurant. Several gangsters burst into the roadhouse with guns drawn and ordered everyone outside. Once outside they had everyone lay spread out on the ground. The thieves then ransacked Duda's Restaurant and took cash, slot machines, booze and the Duda's private gun collection. The story is told that one of the gangsters counted the people outside on the ground and came up with thirteen people. At that he remarked that thirteen was an unlucky number and he was going to shoot someone. Fortunately they didn't and no one was harmed. Five-year old Leroy Duda was there at the great raid but hid under a feather mattress upstairs.

Oh my goodness! That sounds like a fabulous piece of history - probably not so glamorous for those involved though ... hope you're having a great weekend (let us know how the potato rolls work out)
