Wednesday night I walked down to Asteroga Ale House in Herkimer, NY, to meet some members of my family for dinner. It was half price burger night. I got there a little early so sat at the bar and sipped a glass of wine while I waited. My sister Cheryl and my parents soon showed up, and we sat at a table. We were joined by Cheryl’s daughter Kimi, Kimi’s boyfriend, Matt, and his daughter Athena. We were a merry group, having a lot of laughs while we enjoyed our meal.

I had a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and red onion, well done. Athena had the same but no tomato, and added waffle fries to hers. Mine came with homemade chips and a pickle. Athena is particularly partial to pickles, as am I. Kimi opted for a Reuben and regular fries.

I forget what kind of burger Matt got, but it had an onion ring on top. Cheryl got the bacon-mushroom-Swiss burger. That sounded yummy. Mom got the same, and Dad got an Italian burger.

I did not take any pictures of the food. Quite frankly, I was too interested in eating it. My dining companions graciously agreed to have their pictures taken for the blog.

I took half my burger and some of the chips home, for future enjoyment. It started to rain when I walked home. I often say, I ain’t sugar; I won’t melt. Lately, however, I begin to wonder: would I melt like the Wicked Witch of the West? At least this time I survived to make the blog post.
