The RV park had a chicken fried steak breakfast this morning for $3.50. As I've never eaten chicken fried steak and the price was right, we gave it a try. The chicken fried steak was actually pretty good but I don't think there was an actual steak in it, more like some kind of ground meat (probably beef).

This hearty breakfast gave me the energy I needed as I was spending the day in the kitchen. California John and Carol were coming to visit and I wanted to prepare a couple of their favorite meals --- ratatouille crepes, cheese manicotti and of course a raspberry pie.

Michigan John and Carol joined California John and Carol, Ed and myself for a dinner of bean salad, ratatouille crepes, garlic bread and raspberry pie with whipped cream. Yum .... think everyone enjoyed the food and of course the company.
