Butch and I went to Darrell's Place in Hamlin Iowa to have lunch with longtime friend Sherri Clark. Darrell's Place is at the intersection of Hwy's 71 and 44. It had been a long time since we had been there and we came away impressed. The food is famous-breaded pork tenderloins- and delicious! They are not the biggest ones we have ever seen and that's okay. I am not impressed by size. I like mine about a half-inch thick and tender. We three ordered tenderloins and fries. I ordered sweet potato fries and they were also done perfectly. To back up a bit, our first pleasant surprise was the prices. My tenderloin sandwich was $5.25 and I added the fries for $2.50. It is rare indeed to see those kinds of prices these days. They are also famous for their homemade pies. We had lemon meringue and it too was a "wow" experience. The visit, the food, and the drive were all pleasant events. It would not take much coaxing to get me there again.
On the way home Butch and I were talking about different things and I said, "All our peers are disappearing." I tickled myself. Would that be considered a pun? Unfortunately, it is true but also the road we are traveling down.
