Another fabulous lunch with the folks at the Ageless Senior Citizens (senior center) in Kimberly, Idaho. The salad bar was open an hour before lunch was served. And their salad bar is always fresh and clean with different things each time. This time there was some egg salad which was a delicious, sort of old-school change added to my salad. They have a variety of dressings and toppings, and an assortment of Chobani yogurt (donated by the fine folks of Chobani to all the senior centers in the Magic Valley). Drinks are included in the price of the meal ($6 for seniors, and $7.50 under 60): coffee, tea, water, milk, and orange juice. Today's meal was pot roast, baby carrots (and onions), roasted potatoes, dinner roll, Dutch apple pie, and banana cream pie. The pot roast was cooked well, fork-tender with burnt edges (good burnt), perfectly cooked roasted potatoes, and a soft multigrain roll. (I don't like cooked carrots, so I passed, but the lady I sat next to liked them really well. They give you so. much. food. I couldn't finish my meal! There was one piece of banana cream pie left, so I took as a sign that I should choose it over the Dutch apple pie. The banana cream pie was creamy and thick with fresh bananas and fresh whipped cream on top. The Dutch apple pie reminded me of something I've had in a school cafeteria; the lady next to me said it was very sweet. When I got there, they were having a fitness class and folks were walking in circles using bean bags for hand weights while listening to "Earth Angel" on the radio. This senior center is a great place for lunch - good people, clean place, and a healthy serving of lunch at a great price going to support this location for seniors. read more
