But Wait !!!!! There's more

Our second tavern is Thy Hammered Biscuit hosted by two of our newest members, Santiago and Elizabeth. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing I haven't been able to find a current menu for this tavern but anyone who attended Battle of the Pines earlier this month and had the good fortune to happen across this lovely tavern will be able to attest to the variety and the taste of the dishes served. For a complete menu I'd encourage all to please stay tuned to this list for updates or contact the tavern proprietors personally at dblathrop at yahoo.com . The owners do tell me that they plan on staying open late to serve desserts and wassail and may even have a fire circle so that all may sing, tell stories or just make new friends. 
And we're not done yet !!!!!!
