MMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Entrance sign to Johnny Reb's in Long Beach. Best dang BBQ in the city :-)

Ralph sitting at the table, waiting for our food to arrive. If you eat any of the peanuts, they ask that you put a donation in the jar (just at the right edge of the photo). The donations are given to charity; currently they are raising money to send needy children to camp. The other jar is Ralph's lemonade; love the fancy glassware :-)

My meal: pulled pork, sweet potato fries (and some ranch dressing to dip them into), hush puppies, and macaroni & cheese (mac-a-chee!). It was soooooooo good. . . I only ate half so I've got leftovers for tomorrow.

Ralph's meal: St. Louis pork ribs, corn bread, and mashed potatoes with country gravy. It looked much better "in person" than it does in the photo. I had a bite of the ribs & it tasted wonderful.

Shot looking down the aisle. The guy in the dark shirt was our waiter; the people to whom he is speaking are the guys that are watching Neighbor D's house (whom I shall call Neighbor M & Neighbor R since they do live on our street & all), and Neighbor D's sister, BB. We had just ordered our food when they came in. We mentioned to the waiter that we knew them, and he said that they are his neighbors, too! Turns out he lives one street over and maybe four blocks down from our house. Small world!
