To celebrate we picked him up at the nursing home after he fed Mimi lunch and took him to Fava's for lunch.
Fava's is a wonderful little cafe/restaurant in an old storefront in Georgetown. They have been around forever. The owner is also from Louisiana. They have really good fried catfish. Papa and Mimi loved eating fried catfish while living in Louisiana. Dining on catfish seemed like a great way to celebrate 84 years of living.
By dining at 2pm we were the only patrons in Fava's. The owners family popped in and out but we basically had the place to ourselves.
Claude ordered us 'frickles'. This is a fried dill pickle. Fava's makes theirs out of dill slices like you would put on a hamburger. They have a secret batter recipe that they dip the pickle slice in and then fry it up. These delicious things are served with homemade ranch dressing to dip them in. Papa had not had them before and Bonnie had not had them like this. So it was a treat and they both totally enjoyed their first frickle experience at Fava's.
We all had way to much food on our plates. But it was a delicious meal for each of us.
We had noticed the sign that said their pies for today included 'Derby Pie'. The Kentucky Derby is coming up this Saturday and Derby Pie is a must this time of year. Bonnie had never tried it and we thought we would have it for dessert. Fortunately we decided not to order it until we saw how full we were. We ended up taking our slices of pie home to eat later.
After eating Papa opened his presents. This is him opening his Louis L'Amour book.
