"Throwed Rolls" for lunch

  We went to lunch at a great family run restaurant today -- Lambert's Cafe in Foley AL. Lambert's is "Home of the throwed rolls". The rolls are fresh baked all day long - the waiters come out with baskets of big rolls and if you want one, you hold your hand up and the waiter throws it to you! It is fun to catch your roll and even more fun to watch other people trying to catch one. Sometimes the customer doesn't catch it and the waiter just throws another one! Dozens of hot rolls are flying through the air every few minutes. Lambert's is also known for their "pass arounds" -- onion fried potatoes, fried okra, macaroni and tomatoes, black eyed peas. These are brought around constantly and are free with any meal. The drinks are served in huge mugs. The waitress played tricks on us and really had us laughing. She had trick food and would pretend to stumble and spill food and drinks on us. The food was good and served in large quantities; we had to take half of it home.

We went with Carol and Roger, and our new friends Andrea and Peter. We met Andrea and Peter at our RV park after noticing that they had the same make of RV as we do. They also live full time in their rig. Both of them are just a hoot and we all had a great time.

Good food, great company and no cooking tonight!
