Morales Restaurant

We started out toward Chili’s, but there was a 30 minute wait. They said “How about Azul Tequila?” I said “No, I’ve been there.” “Let’s try The Morales Restaurant.”….They were not too sure. The good news is they trusted me and the experience was outstanding!!! Modelo, Pacifico and XX Amber on tap, That is a wonderful place to start. I was going to be the 🐐 goat until the great service and tasty food arrived. Highly recommended!!!… Also, the Mexican market is attached to the restaurant. I have a bottle cap collection and I will get some sodas there soon.

Popocatecetl. This is a volcano in 🇲🇽 Mexico. The mural on the wall is impressive!!!
Dos Equis Amber on tap!!! This is a big bonus!!! can you see Bruce squeezing the lime into the brewskie?
🍤 Shrimp Quesadilla. Good stuff!!!
Not on the menu, but, Whoa!!! This was a pot of 🥩 steak, chicken, and chorizo sausage with peppers and 🌵 cactus! You ever eat cactus?
Pacifico on draft!!! 🍺 👀 Look
at those bubbles!!!

Brewskies

Located at 117 East 2nd Street in Seymour is Brewskies Downtown. It features a nice bar area and a dining room with American food as the staple.

I had the grilled 🐔 chicken, 🥓 bacon 🧀 Swiss on a Kaiser roll and waffle 🍠 potato fries. Superb taste on the sandwich!

Heidi enjoyed the smothered chicken (cheese and bacon) and the potato skins. Both were very good.
As an appetizer we’re tried the fried green beans with Ranch as a dipping sauce. Tasty! 😋

Dabomb.com!!! Mendy Stahl microwaved this sweet potatoes 🍠 and added 🧈 butter, brown sugar and marshmallows. The Best!!!

Good golly, Miss Molly!!! The Sweet potato was phenomenal!!! There was no need for dessert with this side dish.

Starchy Yellows and Whites

There wasn’t much contrast in color, however, this meal was glorious. Pork chops in the crock pot simmered all day in cream of chicken soup, Bob Evan’s mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese followed up with Texas Road House rolls with cinnamon butter. Heidi had it all ready when I walked in the door and Sophie and Liam joined us for a very nice family dinner with little or no cell phone interruption. Heidi simply enjoys providing for her family and I am a fortunate man.

I was very excited when I realized I would have leftovers tomorrow.
On a recent blog post I received 369 views. This graphic represents the different countries and the number of views. I am curious of what is going on in Poland? There were 152 hits on “Sophie’s Crunch Wrap.” I may be a star in Europe and not even know it.

Reed’s Place

I had the 12 ounce ribeye, baked potato 🥔, asparagus with Parmesan and garlic toast. They placed a little blob of garlic butter on the 🥩 steak that really added to the flavor. A sweet tea to wash it down! Highly recommended. (The steak is thin, however, it is high quality.)

Located at 224 South Chestnut Street in Seymour, Indiana, Reed’s Place is providing quality dining in downtown.

Word is that they have a Tomahawk steak that weighs three pounds and takes 45 minutes to cook. Heidi and I plan a follow up visit to try it out. You have to call ahead for that one.

New Ross Steak House

Lawson Wintin. Three months old today on January 9.

The reason for the trip was to visit our grandson, Lawson. Isn’t he handsome!

We walked two blocks over to the New Ross Steak 🥩 House. New Ross is in Montgomery County about nine miles from Crawfordsville. Heidi and I each had the New Year ‘s Resolution grilled chicken 🥗 salad with poppy seed dressing. I could see the kitchen from my seat and the chicken was grilled fresh when I ordered it and it was very tasty. The poppyseed dressing was thick and different from anything I have had before. I liked it.

Kiley had a bacon 🥓 🍔 cheeseburger that was stacked high and followed through with taste. Also, the seasoned French fries were delicious!

Christmas 🎄 French Toast 🇫🇷

To quote Heywood Banks, “French Toast!!!”

Heidi has spoiled us on Christmas 🎁 gifts and fine dining forever. The traditional French Toast breakfast again was wonderful. She takes a loaf of 🥖 French bread sliced thick and doused with 🧈 butter, brown sugar and 🥚 eggs and then baked to golden brown.

The whole pan. I had three pieces!

Happy Holidays, people!!!

Chik-fil-A Columbus: Super Service

Actually, it may be any Chik-fil-A that offers great service. But today, it was Columbus, Indiana that was killing it. Sophie and I pull in as it begins to rain. They run these personal pup tens out so that the order takers can avoid the weather.

We cruise up and we meet Gabrielle. Oozing with personality as she is wearing a tent ⛺️ and a Covid mask. She bubbled throughout the order and they later delivered an outstanding meal from the Diet Coke with the ice pellets, Spicy Chicken (No Pickle) and Pepper Jack cheese, waffle fries 🍟 and a delicious chocolate chip 🍪 cookie.

Chin-fil-A has an obviously awesome training program which must include “Manners.”

My position is that all teenagers should be required to do Chik-fil-A manner training and the world would be a better place! Then, when you get an employee like Gabrielle, she kicks it to a new level and everyone is happy!

Chick -fil- A management should be a model for our government. They are here to serve 🇺🇸 America!

The 🥕 Carrots, Though!

My daughters have been doing outstanding in the kitchen. I suggested Freddy’s and Rae said “I can cook.”

Chicken Parmesan, Roasted 🥕 carrots and I contributed the Caesar 🥗 salad in a bag.

The 🥕 carrots were seasoned with olive oil, 🧂 salt and pepper, Dominant ☝️ One and garlic powder and baked to perfection. Kudos, Rae!!!

These carrots need to become a regular item on my menu!

Sophie Scores on the Crunch Wrap

Sophie got the idea from a Tik Tok video. So, thanks for that anyway, China!

Sophie carefully wraps my dinner.
After wrapping put it in the 🍳 skillet like a grilled cheese.
It consists of 🌮 taco beef, lettuce, cheese, and a crunchy tortilla wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Then covered with nacho cheese.

Bring a napkin! Sophie put Taco Bell to shame on this one. Great flavor and quality!
