| The sign to look for on Kragga Kamma Rd. |
This, my first post of 2014, will feature the last Crawl of 2013. On Thursday, December 19, the Crawlers met for the final Crawl of the year at Food Lovers located at the Garden Lovers Centre on Kragga Kamma Rd. in Theescombe.
Food Lovers is a revisit of our March 24, 2011 Crawl #7 when it was called Sue-Anne's. (For those of you keeping track we did not revisit #6 because Keg and Swan is reserved only for our St. Patrick's Day celebrations.) Since our first visit to this Kragga Kamma Rd. establishment, new owner, Robert Ferguson, has renamed and redecorated the place, revamped the menu and switched over to Masterton's coffee.

Food Lovers' new tables and chairs and the coffee-themed decor give the eatery an intimate coffee shop feel even though there is seating enough for up to 100 customers inside and on the patio. The revamped menu includes five different breakfast options and light and main meals along with desserts, cakes, hot and cold beverages, kids' selections, platters, and a Sunday buffet. In addition, Food Lovers is fully licensed, and offers day and nightime catering services for any type of occasion from corporate functions to family parties for up to 100 people.

And now for the segment of my post where I recap our "talk at the table." Well, with 27 people over the course of three and a half hours I wouldn't even know where to begin. Suffice it to say that there was plenty of chit-chat and catching up with "visiting Crawlers" who we haven't seen in a while, conversations with "new-ish Crawlers" who we're just getting to know, and general banter among "Crawl regulars." It was confirmed at the December 19 Crawl that my husband and I would be hosting a Crawlers' New Year's Eve Party which, by the way, was a hell-raising, smashing success. I'm still finding wine stains, sparkles, bits of balloons, and millions of pieces of confetti all over my house....way worth it!!!
Happy New Year to one and all.
