an early dawn christmas!

No, not the time of day... Dawn!

The hostess with the mostest out in North Jacksonville!

She and I had our luncheon today, and guess where we held it?

If you said "the Thai place", you're incorrect.

We went to The Narra Tree!

She had apparently tried out the Filipino restaurant some time back and was nonplussed, but she agreed to grant it a second chance.

"I'll give it another try," she said, "I trust you."

(smile!)

I was thrilled to go there again!

When I was there with Yvonne, I had so wanted to try the Adobo Fries...

and now I have!!!

In fact, I'd talked so much about the fries that Dawn wanted us to have them as the appetizer that they are meant to be...

and so we did!

And, yes, they are mot definitely scrumdillyumpcious!!!

(smile!)

We maybe ate half and then stopped.

We had entrees coming and they'd arrived!

I had the Escabeche Flounder - and recognized the taste from my days in Panama!

So nicely spicy!!!

I saved one of the three fillets for lunch another day.

Plus, Dawn gifted me the rest of the fries, so we all know what that means, right?

Dinner is done for tonight!!!

Woohoo!!

Such a delightful accompaniment to "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" that will be!

Such a delightful Tina Tuesday this has been: Christmas luncheon with this lady!

(smile!)
