This Rock and Roll 🎸 themed restaurant in Kissimmee, Florida is a cool spot. 😎 It is loaded with Rock and Roll pictures and items, as well multiple beers on tap. We experienced an awesome outdoor seating area with a fire 🔥 pit.

Landon Ray Wischmeier and I had Big Fun sitting around the 🔥 flame and talking basketball 🏀.

Corydon became Indiana’s first state capital in 1816, per the name of the restaurant located on the square (100 East Chestnut Street) and near the old state capital building. It is cater-corner from the Kintner House and Hayswood Theater.

In 2005 I became a teacher Consultant with the Indiana University Southeast ✍️ Writing Project, led by Dr. Kevin Sue Bailey. It was a wonderful learning experience for me and I grew tremendously as an educator and as a person. This evening at 1816 was just a casual reunion of professionals that participated in the writing project.

These tasty creations are eye-popping and delicious. 1816 is an eclectic location and worth a visit!

It started as any other Thursday. However, then, Heidi said “I can go to Darlage’s and get something for the grill.”

All day, I thought about what I would put on the grill. And much to my surprise, she said “ I got a peppered steak kit.” It was vacuum packed slivers of ribeye with 🧅 onion and 🫑 pepper.

So, out comes the Blackstone Griddle! On the side, Heidi was preparing Parmesan Brussels sprouts and shells and cheese. But wait, the pepper steak will be put on hoagie buns with Provolone cheese and Au jous!

Fantastic!!! just begins to describe this meal.

I feel the season changing as I sit in the garage creating this masterpiece under the direction of a higher power, ( That would be Heidi!)

Heidi started with this Green Machine cocktail 🍸 . Idk what it is even called, but it had a Sexy name and she liked it!

The Garage had live music, great food and several beers on tap. I had a Blood 🍊 Orange from Cedar Creek and was quite satisfied!

Flipdaddy’s Brilliant 🍔 Burgers and Craft Brew is located at the old Road House U.S.A. On Highway 56 in Scottsburg.

They have about 20 🍻 beers on tap, including Bumble Berry Blueberry 🫐 🍯 Honey 👱‍♀️ Blonde, which is what I enjoyed.

The draft beers are all tapped in the keg room and are run into the bar about 30 feet away.. A cool set up.

I had the Welcome Home 🍔 Burger which was a hearty one third pound I think with 🥓 bacon, 🧀 cheese and BBQ sauce topped with 🧅 onion straws…Quite delicious!

I saw a couple of old Austin basketball 🏀 players and the food was great! I highly recommend and plan to return myself!

A tilapia fillet and cabbage 🥬, Then fork on the 🍚 rice and 🫘 beans along with the green sauce and you have one heck of a 🌮 taco!!!

This was actually a lighter meal opposed to the fajitas that I usually eat until stuffed.

I will have to visit the fish tacos again.

Thanks to Sophie for bringing this recipe 🏠 home and then to Heidi for whipping it up this morning. Because of them, Avocado toast is a new thing at our house.

Take a ripe 🥑 avocado, mash it up, then sprinkle on some onion powder, 🧂 salt, black pepper, red pepper 🌶 flakes, 🍋 lemon juice and then mix it up. (Or, Google up a recipe that suits you.)

I fried up an 🍳, laid it over my whole grain toast and then piled on the avocado mixture that Heidi made for us. Whole grains, protein and the good kind of fat… a great way to start my Saturday.

If you look 👀 closely at the picture, you can see I have a slight view of the swimming pool included along with the green plate to help us look forward to a 🌞 sunny day in July. (Side 📝 note: My favorite time to be out on the deck is when the pool is warm and the view is green.)

For me, Friday night is “Date Night.” Just ask my basketball players, they’ve heard all about it.

For an added bonus, I got to choose the restaurant and Heidi even came up with gift cards for Red Lobster 🦞 that covered the meal.

The coconut 🥥 shrimp with pina colada sauce , fried shrimp and cheddar bay biscuits were wonderful! (I was too full for the scampi, but will have it tomorrow for lunch.) We sat in the bar for quicker service and even went to 🎯 Target afterward to get Lawson some Mickey Mouse gifts for Valentine’s Day. A pretty good night!

Actually, Nina Hackman says it is too sweet to really call it a salad. However, whatever you call it, it is incredible!

1. Spread a layer of salty pretzels 🥨 in the bottom of a pan. Add some butter and sugar and bake.

2. Mix two blocks of cream cheese, Cool Whip and a cup of sugar and spread over the pretzels.

3. Mix two packages of sugar free Jell-O and strawberries 🍓 and layer that on top.

4. Put it in the fridge and serve when ready.

This combination of sweet and salty is one of my favorites.

The Blueberry 🫐 Hill 🥞 Pancake House is located at 10289 East Washington Street (Highway 40) in Indianapolis. I was on the east side for a basketball 🏀 tournament at Trinity Lutheran School and needed some breakfast after the game.

“Fresh Inside” opposed to spread on top was my preference this morning. A big blob of melting butter 🧈 and plenty of syrup made for a filling and satisfying experience.

I may need a 😴 nap, but I have another game at noon so I better get busy and head back to Trinity!
