While in Newburgh, Indiana for the Isaiah 117 House 🏠 golf ⛳️ scramble, we had some fine dining opportunities. (Isaiah 117 House is a nonprofit organization that has a house in Evansville that provides for children removed from their homes.)
We are not very good golfers, however, we are pretty darn good friends and family. Chris and Jon grew up in Merrillville as cousins and next door neighbors. I met them both in the 1980s and have been fostering this friendship for 40 + years.
When Christopher was about 5 years old and we played baseball ⚾️ in their side yard, we would let him bat, but he never “counted.” As he often reminds today. Now though, when he out drives both of us, we let him “count.”
After the scramble we had pizza 🍕 and Honey 🍯 Blonde 👱♀️ Ales at Turoni’s which was delicious. *Note to self. Bring growler next time.
Chris had a baseball game to get to so it was just Jon and myself for 🍳 breakfast. This morning it was Nellie’s Restaurant and it is also worthy of notice.
Sophie said she has an extra waffle 🧇 iron she will let me have as I have been craving waffles recently and want to learn how to make some good ones.
Next time!!!
The menu was huge and I have found something I want the next time I visit. Above are pans of banana 🍌 pudding with meringue on 🔝 . Pretty sure I could get Heidi on board to share one of these with me.
