#FridayFinds - Chomp Burger (Adrian, MI)

For ladies league, the team tries to head out for lunch before our matches.

Our go to decided to reduce hours and not be open, so we had to find a new place.

Chomp Burger was one of the last places that I got to go before our move.

It was good enough that I took MBB to try on one of our league nights.

Blueberry n' Brie Fries
(add a bit more Brie and they would become a repeat)

Pretzels and Cheese

Cheeseburger and Fries

Chili and Emperor Asian Salad (half)
(the soup wasn't a repeat for me, but the salad was)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - El Rancho Grande (Cincinnati, OH - Eastgate)

I debated a bit whether to tag this "Travel" or "Around Town".

Technically, we were traveling south to play in a pool tournament when we stopped by El Rancho Grande but since our big relocation this year - it is "around town" for us now... 

It was good enough that we went twice on the same trip.  

So, I tagged them both!  :)

If you saw my #FridayFind from last week - MBB got his normal (but they put the chorizo on the side instead of in the burrito!!!) and I got my normal... along with a Skinny Margarita (no salt).  :)

(Full transparency - I forgot to take a picture of the restaurant, so I grabbed this one from my friend, the internet...)

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - El Tequila Mexican Bar & Grill (Piqua, OH)

Since we moved north and most of our family is a drive south, we have stopped at a lot of restaurants along 75 in Ohio.  Usually, if we see a Mexican restaurant, we stop... Mexican is a pretty safe bet...

MBB usually gets a diced chicken burrito of some kind minus the beans, add chorizo... I usually get a chicken, rice and vegetable plate covered in queso cheese of some sort. This trip found us trying loaded fries... loaded with chorizo and cheese.  I don't remember being impressed with the fries.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - PizzaPapalis Taverna (Toledo, OH)

This one was on our list to try for awhile, but we don't get to downtown Toledo very often.

A Walleye Hockey game brought us downtown so we took advantage and tried it out!

We heard great things and they weren't wrong (the fact that I remembered what we had without looking up an on-line menu says a lot).

We honestly would have gone more but it was a bit of a drive for us, so it didn't happen. :(

Pumpkin Spice White Russian

Philly Cheese Steak w/ liquid cheese

Chicago Style Pizza

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Chop House (Toledo, OH)

Happy Anniversary to us!  

OK - not the date on this post, but that was the occasion when we visited the Chop House.  

Every year on our anniversary, we try a new restaurant - 2021 was a steakhouse.

Overall - the items we got were either amazing (noted as yummy on the picture) or not worth the trip.

It was worth the experience, as it was our anniversary, but I would not recommend it to others.

This bread was amazing and I can't remember what it was called as we didn't order it, but if you go - you'll get to experience it (and I so want to recreate it!)...

French Onion Soup - yummy

Wedge Salad - yummy

My Steak - I can't remember the cut, but I do remember that it was very good

MBB's steak - not worth the money, if I remember correctly - he liked mine better and his was way more expensive

Brussel Sprouts - Sent them back

Scalloped Potatoes - yummy

Namaste.

#CraftyTuesday - Spiderman Rules

I am very strict with myself - if I did something for our first grandbaby, I do it for all of them!

There will be no: "Nana is that for big brother, but not for me!" said about me...

All of my grand blessings got baby quilts when they first arrived and then a longer one when they turned six.  The baby just turned six.  

If they want another one of Nana's blankets - they have to help me and learn how much goes into making them a blanket.

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Forest View Bar and Grill (Temperance, MI)

While we lived north, MBB was in a few sand-volleyball leagues. 
When the games fell just right, we would grab dinner at the restaurant, and it was definitely a repeat...

Since moving - we miss the food and MBB misses the volleyball.

Cobb Salad w/ Chicken (I think)

Grilled Cheese w/ Turkey

Sweet Potato Tator Tots

Namaste.

#CraftyTuesday - Work Family

We spend so much time at work, that sometimes our coworkers become our work family.

Here is to celebrating new baby boys joining the work family...

Namaste.

#FridayFinds - Tacos and Margaritas (Las Vegas)

So, apparently, I had a lot of restaurant pictures from our last trip to Vegas... Which was a long time ago. But Vegas was opening up after COVID shut down, so some of our regular places were no longer options. :( 

Tacos and Margaritas was the stop this time...

Another one that didn't make the repeat list...

And it has been so long, that I have no idea what the dishes were that we ordered.

Namaste.

#CraftyTuesday - Heavenly Snuggles

Halfway through making this quilt, the sweet baby boy was called home to heaven before even blessing us with his presence...

I couldn't touch my sewing machine without the tears...

I finally pulled myself together and let myself feel and blessed his parents with this gift to go in his memory display case.  

I am glad that I could remember him and all of the love that everyone felt for him for the short time that he was here, even if we never got to hold him.

Namaste.
