It started with an uber-fun wedding over in Fredericksburg, where we got to hang out with old friends from our Indonesia days -- some we still see on a semi-regular basis, and the wonderful surprise meetup with a couple we hadn't seen since we left there almost 25 years ago!

Apparently, the bride is a bit of a popcorn fanatic. Hence the fabulous "Popcorn Bar" they had set up out on the porch when we arrived at the wonderful Hill Country venue where the reception was held.

The groom is the son of our Aggie-Ranching-Friends the Reeh's. We met way back when we were all living in Kingsville and Dan was fresh out of A&M, then we sorta followed one another to Houston, west Texas, Indonesia and, eventually, back to the Hill Country. They took great delight in the fact that our very own son turned redcoat and chose A&M over UT. Now
we can delight in the fact that their son has married a big city girl who graduated from UT's law school. Payback!

Since this wedding fell on the same evening as our monthly dinner club meet up, our foodie friends were kind enough to change this month's food frenzie to a Sunday morning get together at
Blue Dahlia Bistro's newest location, on the square in San Marcos. We are so glad they did! We've been there once before, when they first opened, but had no idea that they too had a secret garden. What better place for a Sunday brunch on a perfect spring day?
And the food?
Oh my!
