Apples From Russell Orchards

Have you picked apples this year?

I don’t know what happened to supermarket apples, but they don’t have one tenth of the flavor as the one’s that you pick at the orchards.  The Mrs hasn’t made apple crisp yet, but I’m craving it- with some vanilla bean ice cream!

Andiamos- Fusilli Alla Vodka With The Shrimp

Normally I regret asking a waitress at a restaurant “What’s good?”

It can make for a slightly uncomfortable situation if they rave about a certain dish and you steer clear of it as if their recommendation is somehow not worthy.

I uttered those words and as they left my lips I was thinking to myself “why do you do that Joey?”  Anyway in this particular instance the girl behind the counter at Andiamos suggested the Fusilli alla Vodka and it sounded good so I went with it.  I don’t know the girl’s name behind the counter, but THANK YOU!

It was OUTSTANDING!  I brought it home and the Mrs who is not a pasta person (don’t ask) tried it and started wolfing it down.  She couldn’t get enough.

Andiamos is starting to become a regular stop for me for great food (not just good) at very reasonable prices.

Charlie’s Place Fish Cakes And Eggs

Heaven, I’m In Heaven!  Not all fish cakes are made alike or done right.  The fish cakes at Charlie’s Place however are freakin fantastic!   I love it when they have some flavor with the garlic.

MMMMMMMM  *And they use Haddock, not pollock which some places try to push off in their fish cakes because it’s usually cheaper.   Delish and priced right.  I left a bit on my plate as I was stuffed.  Go get you some!

* I know it’s not proper grammar to start a sentence with And, but that’s the way I woulda said it so that’s what I typed.  Here’s another thing- I make spelling mistakes too.  All the time.

25 cents each is a great price.  You could grab eight and head over to your friends for coffee for $2.00.  These kind are good for dunking in your coffee.
