Something new

Hi everyone!  hubby and I love to try new restaurants.  We have found some really good ones.  This time we tried Aloha Kitchen

Can I say YUM!!!!  we loved it.  Bruce had the potato/macaroni salad.  He really enjoyed it.  I had the garden salad.  Hmmmmm......   I also had the coconut shrimp which was delicious.  and some kind of chicken - sorry I do not remember the name of it.  very tender and moist.  the serving were huge.  We had to take some food home. 

would we go back?  in a New York minute!  It's a tiny place.  service was good.  AND it's next to our favorite pizza place - Nello's 

Hugs.... 
 

I am sad......

Hi everyone!  as we were coming home, traveled through Globe.  On place we sometimes stop at is El Rays Mexican Restaurant. 

their food is good.  but their chips?  Oh my gosh!!!!  super yummy.  they heat them up, drizzle butter over them.  so good! 

I have been going there since I was a little girl.  it's very small.

well, as we were driving by, there was a fence surrounding the restaurant.  IT. WAS. CLOSED.  Sigh....., cry......, very upset.  Where I am going to get those wonderful chips?  Oh the memories that are in that building. 

It is so sad when a tradition is gone.

Kneaders Macaroons

Hi Everyone! 

When I was in grade school, ever once in a while they would serve coconut macaroons.  They were my favorite.  They were moist, chewy and oh so yummy.  I have spent years looking for a recipe. 

When Mary and I went to lunch the other day, she mentioned she had gone to Kneaders.  She said she had the best macaroon. 

This intrigued me.  could it be?  Will my quest be fulfilled? 

so, I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I went looking for it. 

They recently opened.  I have been seeing advertisements for it.  They even have a drive thru! 

Well, I bought a few things.  The bread is for Bruce and so is the cinnamon roll.  the Napoleon is for Bruce and I to share.  The macaroon is there in the front, with chocolate and hazelnuts!  That's for me. no sharing.  It was the shape I remembered.  Well, I was going to take a another picture, but I took a bite and well, it was gone.  It tasted just like I remember.  Except the chocolate and hazelnuts.  But that just made it better. 

Now I need to put it out of my mind.  Not a good place to go all the time.  too many temptations.  but they do have soups, salads and sandwiches.  Mary said everything was very good.  Maybe Bruce and I will go there and have something nutritious, and then take home a macaroon, that will not be shared........

hugs.....
