Ok - it IS a shameless plug for my friends down at Patti's 1880's but there is more to the story than pork chops. Actually, we had the sampler appetizer for lunch today sans dill pickles (extra cheese sticks) and a cup of pork chili, yummy. Really hit the spot. The purgatory part is the after church conversation at the table. Mike, Mary Ann, Bill and I had quite a discussion stimulated by Pastor Mark's sermon today about the two judgements, Hades and the Lake of Fire. Mike was Catholic growing up so we questioned if Hades was the same as Purgatory. We concluded they were probably the same concept, but no matter, none of us wanted to visit either place. Religion and cheese sticks on Sunday, only in Kentucky.

Patti's and Purgatory

Comfort
Comfort is in a bowl of Bette's homemade beef stew with yummy corn bread surrounded by her beautiful cherished Christmas collections. The cell phone photo doesn't do this dish justice at all, it was tummy warming and full of love.

A pumpkin of an afternoon...
A day in Murray brought us to Dumplin's Restaurant for lunch. What a treat! The homemade bread stuffs and desserts are well worth the visit. Fresh salad and a just-baked quiche, ummm. The table was decorated with the cute pumpkin and arrangement above, then a yummy pumpkin bar for dessert. All in all a warm fall pumpkin afternoon.

Italian American Restaurant
That's what it says on the sign, Italian American Restaurant. MAMAD'S. For the longest time we couldn't figure out what the building housed. Maybe a middle eastern restaurant? The name sounded middle eastern, kind of exotic. Finally the word got around and the business owners put up a lit sign that said "Mama D's Pizza". Italian pizza. Very authentic I understand. The owners and family are from the Big Apple. Our friend Mike Melone who happens to be Chicago Italian, says the food is as good as it gets for Italians in Kentucky. Who knew? We tried it and are still trying it at least once a week now. Please note the Christmas lights still hanging in the rafters. Mama D is an authentic Kentuckian now.
