Chesterfield's: a Restaurant That Is Not a Restaurant

Having read about a restaurant that's not a restaurant 
in Muncie's newspaper, The Star Press, my daughter-in-law and I decided to eat lunch together at Chesterfield's. The food is cooked and served by Ivy Tech students that are studying the culinary courses. Of course, I had my camera with me so I had fun capturing lots of interesting items, not including the food.
I'm sure that many of downtown workers will be taking advantage of the Valentine Day's sale tomorrow.

I think this is Virginia Mayo, an actress in the 1940s and 1950s.

The table at far right is where daugher-in-law and I enjoyed our food.



The turkey Reuben is exquisitely tasty!
Although the pumpernickel bread is not yet baked by the students, one of the teachers told me that they would after they've learned about it in the classroom.

The only person I recognize in this trio of Chesterfield ads is the actress at the left. She is Lana Turner, whose legs were insured by the movie studio for $1,000,000 by Lloyd's of London.

The posted hours are in sync with students' class times.

I love the arch between the two table areas.

When I come another time, I am sure that I will order from this menu. Prices are affordable to many who have limited funds for dining out because they don't need to make a profit.

All those cigarette signs are great to see - I am too young to remember them :)
This would be a fun place to go to as the menu would be constantly changing as the students learn new culinary tricks!

Eateries which allow students to work in a real life situation are someting I've always enjoyed and feel should be encouraged.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
