Fork & Knife Underground Supper Club

Nestled on a cozy, average city lot in the unincorporated area of Vallejo, about a mile from where we live, is Two Crones Farm... what, to me, is the epitome of a dream I once had. Now that I'm seventy years old, I'll never realize that dream, but I can deal with that, because, thanks to Shelee and Kathi, I'm getting to see it unfold before my eyes. The best part is, I don't have to do any of the back-breaking work or the dirty mucking about required of a farm. Every few weeks, I can get a box of freshly picked veggies, fresh eggs, even fresh, natural honey... enough to feed the two of us until the next harvest is picked. I can even feed my lust for succulents and cacti from a totally amazing selection of healthy, unique plants. The frosting on the cake of this amazing dream is, once a month I get to partake of a fabulous, four-course meal prepared by a gourmet chef, served in an elegant and cozy setting in the midst of a beautiful garden, and attended by a raft of interesting people. Such was our experience this past Saturday evening. Come take a tour with me and share our fun evening...
