Well we had a good time at Michelle’s as expected. We arrived early as Shirleen drove from Rochester to Sussex. We ate at a restaurant close by her house. It was a Friday-night-fish fry. The cod was nice and thick, owning to its good taste, Michelle had a steak sandwich, she doesn’t like that smelly fish. The accompanying potato pancakes were great along with the French fry’s.
The next morning we ate an early lunch at the Delafield Brew Pub. The Ruben sandwiches with the thick pastrami were delicious, Shirleen with a BBQ pulled pork and Michelle with a mushroom Swiss burger, I’d get that anytime. We the went to Gagliano’s grocery and picked up some vittles for tomorrow, fine Swiss cheese, Badger ham and the finest bread crumbs (talking about grind), we bought Panko bread crumbs and Italian cipollini onions that we had in Vegas. I spotted a neat looking home furnishing’s place close-by and we went in. Well, it was a design to install place. Nice stuff and you could partially order things. Michelle found a nice granite dinner table, 4,000$ or so, I think she is looking for it, as she mentioned it the next day.
For the evening adventure, we ate again at Jacks Steakhouse. As we were seated I said something about the seating in the bar area and that may reflect if we eat here again, (as we didn’t wear furs). When we sat down, an order of onion rings appeared, after the meal we were offered a complementary dessert and given a take home cheese spread. The steaks were just great, the creamed spinach yummy. When we left I stopped by and thank her for the extras and apologized for my comments. She said she had not heard them, Nice touch.
The next morning we watched a couple hundred pictures of our Christmas trip. Then we ate a late breakfast at Maxwell’s restaurant in a Best (worst) Western hotel in Brookfield. We had eaten their once before and it was good as it was this time. The Made-to-order omelets and pasta dishes were yummy. Again the potato pancakes were best under the eggs Benedicts without the English muffin using the pancake as a base, Jerry’s Egg Benedict. The peel your own shrimp reminded me of Aunt Vi’s in Key West. The buffet was decently priced compared to many others. Oh yes, did I mention the nice champagne, my glasses were just fine.
Yes, again to the Fresh Market grocery store, can’t remember the name. Mark picked up the chicken breasts and hash browns for the evening meal. We returned home for the big day. We gave up on the pictures as we discovered we had looked at the run to Florida and Nova Scotia before. We then went to the pre-game and Mark to his cooking. He made a delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu, sinful potatoes, and fresh Brussel sprouts Yummy. First time for the Brussel sprouts that way. Then came the wine opening, or should I say a try. As Mark tried to pull the cork from the bottle, the opener broke. We tried to open it by pulling the opener from the bottle, twist the cork from the bottle, and pull the cork by bending the piece of the opener, to no avail. We did take the bottle home with us. With my second not third opener I was able to pull the cork. The moral of the story, you need more than one type opener. We then watched a movie with Mark, Not Bruce Almighty, but something similar with a congressman building and Ark for a flood in the DC area.
The next morning we took off. Found a new neat deal for the car. When in sequential mode for the wipers, when more moisture was on the windshield the wipers went faster. Neat feature, may be one of the best. One other thing on the car, when we called OnStar with the Wisconsin address they commented about the N70 W23238 Homestead address. They did find out they when they put it in it worked on their system even thou they had never seen anything like it.
It was an uneventful trip for us going west. We took our time and it took 7 hours this time.
