The BirdFeeder

This month my/our book club read Room by Emma Donoghue. For our discussion one of our members suggested a quaint little eating place in a nearby small town. So Friday we loaded in the van and headed north to Twin Brooks and

the BirdFeeder.

The place seats about 20 people, so reservations are necessary. Decor was mostly bird related, but included other interesting for sale items.

We started our lunch with drinks, raspberry ice tea and lemon water, and birdseed (which we didn't get a picture). Birdseed is a mix of sunflower seeds, soy nuts, wheat seed and yogurt covered almonds and raisins served in a small metal nut cup.

There were two kinds of soup on the menu on Friday. I chose the fresh pea soup. It was delicious!

Isn't the presentation cool with the pea pod on the side of the bowl? The other soup was fresh vegetables and chicken. Also very tasty they said.


Then it was time for the sandwich. Our choices: chicken salad with pecans, roasted pork served with a sweet pepper dipping sauce or deli meats all on made fresh that morning, home-made bread. YUM!

She also makes her own veggie chips (tomato & spinach) and shared her recipe with us. The salad was made using local produce from the local Farmer's Market and had a yummy Vidalia onion & poppyseed dressing. The group traded sandwich halves, taking half home because the dessert was next.



We had a choice of fresh peach pie, coconut cream pie, Girdilla chocolate brownie with walnuts and coconut filling and served with ice cream and chocolate sauce, and

 my favorite: lemon cream

 fresh rhubarb and raspberry

and fruit pizza
All very delicious. We almost licked our plates, it was that good.

We also got a small gift for dining there. We each got a home-made book mark. Pretty neat to get a gift for eating delicious food!


It was a unique culinary experience and we plan to have book club there again, next summer. Thanks Diane for the suggestion. We loved it!

And yes, we did discuss the book over dessert. Judy thought the book was titled Door. We've had a good laugh over her 'senior moment'. The book store staff is still shaking their heads over that one!
