The dinning room looked little changed in 3 years and the items I liked before seemed to still be on the menu. We sampled, pork ribs, burt ends, chicken wings, brisket, fries, baked beans and a burnt pudding dessert. All of the items were good, but the ribs and burnt ends were the standouts. Oddly the burnt ends were not that good, reheated at home a couple of days later.

I stopped by the Lenexa Spinach Festival at Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park in Lenexa in the afternoon. Due to rainy weather, the various booths and exhibitors had moved to a parking lot in another part of the park. This was the first time I had been to this one day festival, so I don't know if many exhibitors had failed to show because of the weather, but there really wasn't much there. There were more people in the part participating in the Pokemon Go Community Day event, then at the festival.

We added a new page devoted to the hand crafted folk art concrete and wire gravestones which have been places on unmarked graves in City Cemetery in Hoisington, Kansas. They were created by local grassroots artist, Phil Webb. 

We had fried charales as appetizer. They were small, whole, head on smelt which had been deep fried. I was a little skeptical of having smelt without the head and guts removed, but thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the Grilled fish filet topped with seafood cream sauce of shrimp, octopus, and crab. It was good, but not as spectacular as I remembered. Linda had an appetizer as her entree, Garlic Langostines, which were quite tasty.

We added a new page devoted to the Rediscover Pluto Miniature Golf Course in Burdett, Kansas. The reason the miniature golf course is now devoted to Pluto is because Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930, spent his teen years on a farm near Burdett and graduated from Burdett High School. 

I had the pork tenderloin, which had been significantly over cooked. The party at the next table returned two dishes to the kitchen and I overheard the server saying that at least for that shift, they have young, inexperienced chefs.

We tried a wide range of the menu, taking a lot of uneaten food home with us: shrimp Po'boy, crab balls, armadilla eggs, brisket, sausage, baby back ribs, garlic cheesy corn, fries, cole slaw and blue cheese potato salad. We enjoyed the vast majority of the food, particularly the cheesy corn, sausage and ribs. The blue cheese potato salad was the only thing we didn't eat much of or take home. There was a LOT od garlic in the cheesy corn and I really enjoyed that. 

I ordered onion straws and the O.F.D. burger, a 1/2 lb burger made with Swiss cheese, bacon, sautéed mushrooms & house made tomato jam.  often carry a book and started reading. 

The time dragged on and on and at least where I sat, the room was very cold. They really weren't that busy, but I understood it was a training day and didn't say a word, until people at the next table, who came in maybe 20 minutes after me, got their food. 

It turned out the kitchen had lost my order and the server didn't notice. A new order was put in and the manager came by to apologize. The food came 46 minutes after my order was placed. The burger was OK, the onion straws had a seasoning that I wouldn't have picked.

When the bill came, I was charged for two meals, the one that didn't come and the one that did, though it was then zeroed out because it was a training day.

We updated our page devoted to Nelson's Landing in Leonardville, Kansas.

Pricing has crept up, but the menu seemed otherwise unchanged. The BBQ egg rolls were as good as always, but had jumped from 2/$4.99 to 2/7.99!

We added a new page about Saint Joseph Catholic Church in downtown Topeka, Kansas.
