There’s no better reason for having a fun, clean celebration than Halloween, something members of Fairhope Elks Lodge 1879 know how to do.

While Halloween night is all fun, members prepare for a major benefit project that’s open to the public Saturday NOV 7th. The Lodge holds its annual Veterans Day barbecue featuring your choice of ribs, chicken or pork plates plus sides for $18. Everyone is welcome at this family-friendly event taking place at 561 S Mobile St. The Elks extend a special invitation to one group of local residents. If you served in the military, don’t worry about bringing money. That’s because Veterans eat free.

Serving starts following the Fairhope Veterans Day parade, which is scheduled to start at 10am. You can dine inside the Lodge or you can drive around to the back, pay and pick up from your car. The Lodge does a large number of to-go orders each year.

𝙀𝙡𝙠𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚. 𝙀𝙡𝙠𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚. Established in 1868, the Elks is a private, benevolent organization whose members regularly launch projects to help people in need. The four cardinal virtues of the Elks are Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. With a Lodge that’s well over 500 members strong, ask an Elks member about joining today…

Colleen and I stop for a meal at Half Shell Oyster House in Foley last week. The location on US 98/W Laurel Ave (just west of Hwy 59) is an easy drive from Fairhope. Seems like ages since I enjoyed a dozen raw oysters on the half shell. After Meghan, our server, provides assurance that the current batch of oysters in house is really good, that’s my choice for an appetizer. While I can recall the days when you could score a dozen raw for less than $10, Half Shell’s price--$19--is very much in line with what other places charge in this day and age. When the oysters show up, I have an immediate feeling that they will be good. Fresh and chilled on ice, they are large and, as it turns out, delicious. The Half Shell Salad topped with grilled chicken ($13) is Colleen’s entree choice, while I’m drawn to Tuna Rigolets ($26.50), a temporary special featuring grilled tuna, green beans, rice and my choice of a side which is asparagus. Both entrees score an A+ for us. My tuna is absolutely wonderful (grilled exactly as I asked), while Colleen says her salad is outstanding. This creates a challenging situation because we both agree we’d order the same items again. Yet, the menu is loaded with delicious options ranging from various fish to steaks, chicken, pasta and more. The atmosphere is pleasant, making this a great spot for anything from a date night to a meal with family, friends or guests visiting from out of area. If you prefer, small portion meals are also available. After food and service that are both excellent, our total without tip winds up at $64.90. The place is open seven days a week. The menu on line gives a good view of how many choices you can pick from:

After our meal, there’s no discussion between us about whether we should come back. That answer is obvious. Half Shell Oyster House has too many options that seem to be calling out to us.

You don’t have to pay big bucks for a satisfying Italian meal. The Fairhope Farmer’s Market (which has three weeks left in its fall season) plays a role here. Colleen and I have been customers at Frank’s Daily Bread Catering for years. The first time we tried one of owner Frank Giaquinto’s frozen eggplant dinners, we got hooked. One package will set you back $15, and you get enough food for two. If eggplant isn’t your thing, Frank also sells lasagna, chicken parmesan, baked stuffed shells and baked ziti. All are easy to fix: Thaw, then heat ‘n’ eat (about an hour or so at 350° for foil-covered eggplant that’s not thawed, less time if thawed).

𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙥: If you’d like for the cheese on top to be browned, take off the foil and let it cook for another ten minutes or so.

While at the market, after you pick up your dinner, you’ve got one more stop to make. Head over to see Erin Todd at the Clover and Crumb Bake Co. booth. She’s a master at creating outrageously good cakes, pies, and breads. See if she has any of her herbal Tuscan bread ($10). If so, grab it. Goes nicely with the eggplant (especially if you dip the bread in the sauce). And there you have it: A delicious and filling meal that--at $25 for two--is a fraction of the cost of dining out. We almost always keep a spare frozen eggplant dinner in the freezer...
