SFKossacks Dine with Angry Mouse w/ PHOTOS!

In my announcing diary about our upcoming dinner with Angry Mouse I gave a little background on our visiting Kossack.

Please join me below for a photo recap (only 20 or so, no worries) of our WELCOME WAGON dinner.

We enjoy dining with visiting Kossacks so please let us know if you will be in the San Francisco Bay Area.

It's all about community, IMO.

navajo :: SFKossacks Dine with Angry Mouse w/ PHOTOS!

Angry Mouse requested Mexican food and boy can we deliver. It was difficult to choose among the hundreds of fantastic restaurants we have here in the Bay Area.

We decided on La Fiesta Restaurant in Mountain View.

It was fantastic and the BEST mole I have ever had, I must say.

We had a great turnout, as usual and the ROAD WARRIOR award goes to sidepocket and mrs. sidepocket who drove over 200 miles yesterday round trip from Sebastapol to give a hearty welcome to Angry Mouse. Sidepocket and the Mrs. come to most of our events and they are truly a pleasure to be with, many kudos for their exuberance and dedication to our group.

I scored. The sidepockets brought me a bouquet of lilacs from their amazing farm. They are fragrant and lovely and remind me of my growing up years in rural Utah.

Their lovely fragrance has been wafting over to my workstation all day. Such an amazing beauty and fragrance that I had to write about it.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Let me begin by informing you that Angry Mouse declined to have her photo posted. I did my photoshop duty on the first photo and then couldn't resist altering highacidity's photo with a pic of her cat. Indulge me:

Angry Mouse is super photogenic so I am a little miffed that I can't post her face.

(photos available for a small sum of cash, email me. shhhhhh...)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Here she is ordering JUST A LITTLE BIT OF CHEESE PLEASE...

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Here are the sidepockets and sidepocket holding the photo montage he had just posted at Cheers&Jeers that morning:

And a closeup of that photo:

sidepocket continues to steal the show with his ceiling cat shirt:

Highacidity (soon to be highhumidity) reaching for more margaritas:

Here is Mr. FrugalGranny, FrugalGranny, Homogenius and Paul in Berkeley:

Esquimaux lives 5 miles from this restaurant, he had to show up!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Moody's arrive, that's Moody Loner, Little Loner, Mr. FrugalGranny, FrugalGranny, Homogenius, Paul in Berkeley and Mrs. Loner

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Back at the ADULT end of the table, me (navajo) and ukiyo:

And now for some delicious Mexican Food:
(gawd, I love refried beans, I want to marry them)

And now for the BEST MOLE IN THE WORLD!

BURP!!!! Whoa, 'scuze me. Phew. Wow.

Paul in Berkeley playing cards with Little Loner (who was there to deliver her Girl Scout Cookie orders to us)

ukiyo, doing what he does best, figuring out the money...

And as usual, we held a parking lot meeting after dinner:

You can't believe the fragrance that is floating over here right now, try to imagine:

What We Are About

A revolution is coming - a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough - but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character, we cannot alter its inevitability.
--John F. Kennedy

You have the power to reclaim our nation's destiny. You have the power to rid Washington of the politics of money. You have the power to make right just as important as might. You have the power to give America a reason to vote again. You have the power to restore our nation to fiscal sanity and bring jobs back to our people. You have the power to fulfill Harry Truman's pledge of health care for all Americans. You have the power to give us foreign policy consistent with American values again. You have the power to take back the Democratic Party. You have the power to take our country back.
--Howard Dean

I am progressive. I am liberal. I make no apologies. I believe government has an obligation to create an even playing field for all of this country's citizens and immigrants alike. I am not a socialist. I do not seek enforced equality. However, there has to be equality of opportunity, and the private sector, left to its own devices, will never achieve this goal.
--Markos Moulitsas

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
--John F. Kennedy

We are trying to construct a more inclusive society. We are going to make a country in which no one is left out.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
--John F. Kennedy

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
--Franklin D. Roosevelt
