Nina Hackman brought these to the Super Bowl party and she was the dessert MVP tonight! A white cake mix, cherry pie filling and a magical crumbly and sugary topping were superb.

If you live in Driftwood, Brownstown or Grassy Fork Township, you should know about this option. A generous topping and very nice crust.

When you are at Stahls watching the Purdue game, a short drive to The Vallonia area is a good idea. On a side note, Walt’s Diner is getting attention from Poland 🇵🇱 and the Czeck Republic for an old post titled “Sophie’s Crunch Wrap.” Do you really think 97 people over there want to know about the crunch wrap. Sophie is cute and all, and we did give step by step instruction, but really? Let me know if you are in Europe and you are following the blog. I would like to come and visit!

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.

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!

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

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 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.

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!

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.

Happy Holidays, people!!!

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!
