Upon entering the house you were swept away with the aroma of a delicious meal that had been brewing most of the day in anticipation of this evening. The menu was restrictive but with anticipations of a good home cooked stew I would have considered little else even if the menu was bristling with sights of fish and meat from around the world.
A meal fit for a King
As soon as I was seated the entertainment started with a beautifully staged show from Max & Bailey. I missed the title of the performance but it was a lovely play of 2 wild animals held captive in an isolated cottage with only a slipper to eat. The loser of the slipper meal had dibs on leftovers on the counter left behind by masters long gone. I found the play quite entertaining and can say it only highlighted the meal soon enjoyed.
When the stew did arrive at my table I was met by a medley of colors and smells none of which over dominated the other. The beef was both tender and remarkably tasty with hints of spices to compliment. Carrots galore were on the verge of melting on the fork but somehow held their form until they entered your mouth and only then would tantalize your taste buds just prior to warming your stomach and in turn warming your spirit.
What's this?? Another performance by the Max and Bailey team?? Indeed. This short play, during dinner, told a heart warming story of two brothers both in need of freedom. Freedom from the ho hum trappings of life on the inside. It was of freedom and the meaning of 'I need to go when I need to go!'. It was all I could do to hold back the tears when they finally gained their freedom from the 'gulag' only to find out that while Max was free to escape, his best bud Bailey was held from freedom by a chain wrapped around his neck (with the chain representing man's inability to gain, or have control, of his future) his freedom was just a dream...a vision of trees never to be the target of his release...I would love a repeat of this masterful Shakespearean type mastery.
As the play wrapped up I was met with an empty bowl of what once held my taste buds captive! Without hesitation my bowl was refilled to the brim and again I was in heaven.
A surprise late addition was Dave who also had his senses satisfied by the masterful chef Robert. Unfortunately Max and Bailey had no performances planned at that late hour but no matter I was still quite emotional from their last show.

Hey, don't forget: After the Germans lost Berlin to the Brits and had to retake it, they, in a masterful stroke of brilliance, managed to lure the British subs away from the North Sea, which allowed for a German D-Day like infantry invasion into London.
