Kroger’s free Friday sample today is “Kind” protein bars. Peanut butter and dark chocolate says 8g of protein in a 40g bar. It has 52% nuts, and it’s gluten free and dairy free. The piece that I like best is “No Genetically Engineered Ingredients, No […]
Alot can be told about what we have in our kitchen. I have read magazine articles about the “well equipped kitchen” and all the utensils that are needed to be well equipped. WELL!. In my kitchen my Mum has a cutlery box housing her best […]
The most important meal of the day is breakfast. My second favorite breakfast- right behind Eggy Bread ( made with a baguette and hole cut out of the center for the egg and toasted until the egg is medium ) .. are pancakes. Pancakes at IHOP are special occasion breakfast. The experience was less than satisfactory. The hostess greeted, time was 20 minutes and then the reservation was lost. How does that happen? Well we waited… second favorite breakfast. Thank goodness for the recovery of the waiter Nick. Friendly, efficient Nick. Made the 40 minute wait and the pancakes a pleasant breakfast experience. Fluffy blue berry pancakes , multi syrups meet expectations.
International House of pancakes front of house needs to tend to small details as Nick does. We will give you another try … when the occasion arises.

Chocolate Cherry Cupcakes made from scratch are inspired by Uncle Mark’s wedding and Martha S. The frosting is easy white butter cream frosting. I have added Chocolate Jimmies (never enough chocolate). I had to correct for high altitude and instead of sour cream – plain […]
Heat of the day in Orlando lead us to the House of Blues.
Samplings of southern inspired cuisine.
Service at the house of Blues with Missy is efficient and friendly. The thought of BBQ during the heat of the day ~ even thought that is what we had a taste for ~ took us deeper into the menu. Started with gator bites. Nicely seasoned, not to much of a bite. Top and center of the menu is shrimp and grits. Delightful flavors, shrimps perfectly cooked. Well recommended. the flat bread was tried by all. BBQ chicken, red onion, BBQ chicken on flat bread was well done.
the background noise – could have had louder blues music, however we did have conversations with out talking over the noise. the food well done. service impeccable, architecture of the restaurant is very fitting. rated 5 of 5..
Hot , tasty during a lighting storm, the crust held up to the sauce. The Caesar Salad from Fuel is the perfect veggie accompaniment.
The first Travel evening in Orlando Florida. Tonight we dine at L Mulino. Classic Italian, impeccable service. the treasure was the classic starter of eggplant caponata and salami.
My Goodness. Day 2 of Hot. the Heat beater today at the Disney park is Dole Pineapple Float. It takes me back to Oahu and the Dole Pineapple plant. Delicious
Lunch time in Disney World lead us to Tortuga Tavern. The tavern has shredded tasty beef reasonably priced and they placed it on everything from brisket and chips (sand which), Ropa Vieja … to my hot dog brisket. Rated 5 out of 5.
