Dinner & a Concert

Tonight Mark took Rhoda, Karin and me to Galesburg, IL where we had dinner at the Kozy Inn about 3 miles north of Galesburg. We didn't think much of it going into it but the food was good. Mark ordered as an appetizer a hay stack of onion rings and they were the best I think I have ever eaten, just exactly right, not too greasy, not too thick, just really good and plenty. They were thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. The home made soup on the salad bar was cream of mushroom and it REALLY was delicious. The salad bar was adequate. Three of us ordered the 10 oz prime rib and it was much bigger than we expected juicy and tender. Rhoda ordered a New York strip steak smothered in mushrooms, onions, and cheese. She claimed it was better even then our prime rib and gave us each a bite to prove her case. We got there at 6:00pm and were out of there by 7:00pm, giving us plenty of time to go back to Galesburg for the concert at the Orpheum Theater. The orchestra and combined choirs of Galesburg Community Chorus and Knox College were exceptional. They performed Brahm's Requiem. The music was so full and rich that we could hear it in our minds on the way home. All in all it was a wonderful end to a wonderful day.
