Not just a pretty song from The Sound of Music—Edelweiss Restaurant in Fort Worth is one of the best places to enjoy German food, and usually very fun, very campy oompah style music. Tonight, when we got there, however, we were greeted by the owner who apologised for the lack of air conditioning and electric lights! Apparently a lightening strike took out a local transformer, and the restaurant was operating with generator power! Fortunately, the kitchen there is equipped with gas for cooking and the food was as amazing–or maybe even moreso–as ever. And we enjoyed it by candlelight!
Kyle and I had been looking forward to an evening at Edelweiss for about a year—since we last took Mama and John there and they enjoyed it so much! Tonight was a unique evening there, and with no sound system, the accordian player made his rounds to all the tables, and played for each group of patrons, chatting and making the experience completely unforgettable!
I wish Kyle had been feeling better tonight. I turns out he probably should not have gone to work today, after all. He’s still feeling pretty poorly, and I think was feeling worse tonight than last night! Hopefully, he can make it through a workday tomorrow, but the weekend is going to be rather hellish for him. Thank goodness for good friends who will pitch in and help run East Wind Games.
