You’d love Minnesota…so much walleye, it practically jumps onto your plate.
We didn’t go all-out on the main meal, because we can’t really bring leftovers back, and we got appetizers, and it was something like 4:30PM when we got there, so here it is, penne Alfredo with broccoli and shrimp for MrsT, and French onion soup for me:
We did, however, save room for a peanut-chocolate brownie thing:

In the above shot, MrsT ordered her (very spicy) shrimp on the side, so I could have some of her pasta…”The things we do for love…”
I’ll add that she gave the waiter a substantial cash tip, and personally complimented him and spoke with the owner/manager. I’m pointing that out, because as someone who waited tables for a decade as a profession and not a side/temp gig, she has incredibly high standards and will not hesitate to take a waitperson to task if they’re falling short, in her opinion, and considering that she’s also the tightest of wads, to do that really says something about the level of service we received.

I haven’t seen piped cream like that in years.

Red water bombs? Like large watery tomatoes?Here in Texas, we have red water bombs, not tomatoes. Well, unless you grow your own, which my sister does. Those are great. You have to really amend the soil to grow well here.
North Texas climate is more like Madrid or Salamanca. Hot and dry in the summer. The soil is different, though.
But, we do have really good beef in Texas.

What age do you generally slaughter your beef in Texas?
In the UK it’s around the 18 month mark and as that‘s what I‘m accustomed to I was surprised to find Sapnish meat often requires a lot more chewing.
To the extent I investigated, turns out they prefer the 2 year mark which has more flavour but you sacrifice some tenderness. A slow cooker was purchased fast!
We’re in Wooster, Ohio, just on an overnight trip a couple of hours from our house.

That‘s nice, I guess picked for the restaurant?
Nope, never heard of the place before 4PM today.
My wife is a travel agent, and she has some kind of preferred status with Hilton, similar to what customers get, and she needed one additional night’s stay by the end of the month to keep her status intact for another year.
We’re very close to a large Amish population, and she likes a lot of that stuff, so…here we are. Heading right back tomorrow afternoon.

If you click on a member's name you'll get a little window pop up. In that window is both location (hence why it's mandatory) and what time it is for them right now. It's useful to know.
