The family is returning today from University visits in Chicago and Milwaukee. The pick-up at Union Depot is scheduled for 6:41 and the train left Milwaukee on time so likely will not be late. The Maundy Thursday Service at church begins at 7:00, so the time conflicts for me. Conveniently, the OFH Maundy Thursday Service was held this morning at 10:00, which I attended.
The Service time allowed for lunch in the bistro with Tom and Anita. Tom's a soup aficionado and the bistro always has two soup choices. A bowl of soup costs $4.00. Thursday is 'pizza by the slice day' and slices are $2.00, so, being a big spender, I had two. Anita said her chicken salad sandwich was excellent. The bistro is open 11:00-2:30, Monday-Friday. The dining room lunch special is also available in the bistro, minus the starter and dessert, for $9:00. A number of other offerings are also available.
The food service of the OFH contributes much to my satisfaction living here. Every morning there's a continental breakfast in the bistro, the price of which is included in our rent. The dining room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a service that I often use to entertain family and friends. When I compare notes with inmates of other OFHs, they report that their dining facilities have minimal hours. With the exception of the continental brekfast all food charges are ala carte, which is helpful to me because I'm often away.
If you're considering a move to an OFH be sure to check out the food service.
Takk for alt,
Al
