Since it’s a $11,000 luxury meal, you’d better not miss a single entree, or I’ll hold you to it.” I was amused watching this. ‘A $11,000 luxury meal,’ I thought. ‘Sure!’ “Since Mabel has spoken, come on over to the dining area, everyone!” At the table, I brought out a large skillet of fried cabbage with bacon and set it down heavily.
