Well Tichu was not going to happen today, so I went out to lunch. I decided to go to Dot's and see if they have rebuilt yet or not. See, a year ago, a fire burned down a great restaurant. Dot (the owner and chef) cooks a great lunch menu. There are many choices of "meats" (fried catfish, Lasagna, Roast Beef, etc), many choices of vegetables (black eyed peas, collard greens, sweet potatos, etc), rolls (white or corn bread), desserts (pecan pie, fruit cobbler, chocolate pie, etc), and drinks (water after all those calories for me). The location is in a bad part of town filled with junk yards and run down houses. And you have to park off the road. But that is part of its charm.
But, it was still not rebuilt. Luckily, there was a little trailer with Dot in it and coolers filled with steaming food. So I drove back to work with my to go lunch. This Thursday there will be a fund raising event to start rebuilding the restaurant.
