Once each year, a local restaurant closes its dining room so that special patrons can enjoy a dinner made from "wild" game meats. (I didn't ask about the origin of these meats.) Today's dinner consisted of Venison, Rabbit and Quail. This is something my late wife would have loved had she been alive for this dinner, as she loved deer meat. And if it weren't for DS mentioning this dinner to me, I never would have gone....

Today was a day that I couldn't rest well. I had not been able to get much sleep the night before, as I had way too much caffeine on my way home. So when I tried to take an afternoon nap, I just couldn't rest. If I had not committed to this dinner the night before, I wouldn't have gone to this dinner - but I'm glad I did.
Arriving at 6 pm, I was earlier than the rest of the gang. This was my first time with the DISH meetup group, and I didn't want to be late. However, I should have taken my time, as I was waiting 30 minutes for others to arrive. Once the rest of our group arrived, I was engaged in enjoyable conversation with two women - both of which I hope to get to know further as Marian. And then DS arrived, completing our group.
As you can guess from the pictures above, we had Venison, Rabbit and Quail in several different ways. I enjoyed the Venison Sausage and Meatballs more than the other Venison dishes. And if offered, I'll have Rabbit anytime it's available to me. Quail, on the other hand, is a waste of time to eat, as there is not enough meat on the bones to make the time it takes to eat it worth the effort.
Hopefully, I'll be able to do more things with this meetup group in the future. It's a friendly group, and one which I feel that I'll be warmly accepted as Marian.
