[Nota bene: A contribution from Brother Cruz...]
The August Chesapeake Table get together was a pot-luck dinner held at the home of Ann and Scott Ripley at Chic’s Beach in Virginia Beach. The theme for this event was the “Foods You Grew Up On” or rather just some of the foods your parents fed you as a child. Each couple was told to bring a dish or two that they remembered eating as a child. This event really grew legs among the Captives and the Brothers. Instead of the usual one dish per couple that we expect to see at a pot-luck dinner, almost every person brought their own dish. Even Scott Rogers made his own dish of ground baloney and relish sandwiches with Miracle Whip on Wonder Bread (builds strong bodies 12 ways). It looked pretty scary but actually tasted very good.
As we sat down to dine, Scott and Ann called on each person to talk about their dish and the usual atmosphere surrounding its consumption. People really got into discussing the ingredients and how they had to check with their mom or dad to make sure that everything in the preparation was authentically correct. Then it was “we used to have this dish every time Mom and Dad went out for the evening” or “we had this dish every Friday night because we were Catholic” or whatever. Upwind actually brought his mother but she couldn't remember what she used to make and neither could he! Everyone seemed to really enjoy sharing their past experiences growing up with the group.
After dinner and several rounds of (demon) rhum with many ORZAs, the party broke up and everyone went home. Everyone except Mark Eller who ended up spending the night as he was overserved in all of the excitement.
