Bette: Thank you Peggy. Tina was really concerned about missing the holiday. I told her we could just do it the next weekend when she had a bit more time. Holidays are a really big deal for Tina, this will mean so much to her.

Peggy: Bette you already know the value of family. Shame on Tina’s family for shutting her out, but you two are lucky to have each other and I’m lucky to have you too.

Amos joins Kadijha in serving the entrees.

Amos: Ladies there are so many wonderful entrees on our menu I’ve decided to give you a sampler platter of our most traditional dishes.

Kadijha: I’ll serve a plate for each or you, would you like to try every thing?

Peggy: Absolutely.

Bette: Definitely

Amos: I ask that you save some room for dessert.

Amos smiles and leaves Kadijha to tend to the guests.

Bette: This food is very much like the show: bold, loud flavors tempered by the mild flavor, but yet bold texture of the Attieke.

Peggy: I’ve dined here a few times, but never had this much fun or enjoyed the food so much. I dare say Amos is loving this as well.

Bette: Kadijha is a fantastic server. Employees are Kit’s biggest issue at the Planet. I am thrilled she has a team good enough where she’s comfortable taking time out to come see me. She’ll be devastated when I tell her that Angelica is moving here in just a few weeks.

Peggy: That will be some hard news to take. However, your sister is pretty savvy and I doubt that this will be a total shock to her.

Bette: Well, she’ll be here in the morning so I’ll know soon enough.

The ladies continue to chat and dine enjoying both the food and the company.

Kadijha: Wow, you too have made some progress. Which entrée did you like the best?

Peggy: I think the stew and the lamb for me.

Bette: Loved the bold flavors in the stew, but the fish was wonderful as well.

Kadijha: The stew is the most popular. Not everyone is willing to try the lamb, but I think the Dibby is our best lamb dish. I prefer the Poisson Braise to the fish stew because the flavor of the fish comes through more cleanly. As much as I like the fish stew I love the chicken stew so I usually choose that. Now I’m under strict orders to bring you some dessert. Would you like a pressed pot of Kenyan coffee served with dessert?
