Allow me digress…I still have several FLORIDA stops to share with you on our trip North. (Apparently those Zipper Peas in Alabama were a highlight in my subconscious…) So allow me to share several more “highlights” in Central and Northern Florida! We got a VERY early start as we headed North after our winter […]
Mom’s Kitchen – Dothan, Alabama
Our first night on the road on our trip North found us in Dothan, Alabama. And since I’m always looking for REAL Southern food when we’re in the South, we just HAD to eat at a place called Mom’s Kitchen. Our server was a very friendly and helpful young lady named Margaret. When we ordered […]
Bobby Rubino’s – Pompano Beach, Florida
You know the old saying…If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is…or maybe it isn’t…sort of! Last week we enjoyed a great meal…and it didn’t break the bank! For several years we’ve seen coupons in our local paper for a rib place called Bobby Rubino’s. And they offer TWO rib dinners with […]
North Beach – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Whether a Daytime Stroll… Or Dinner Outside At Night… A great place for “people-watching” We love to walk across the drawbridge and stroll up and down 32nd and 33rd Street in Fort Lauderdale. There, you’ll find everything from restaurants and bars, a sports bar to art galleries…and a jazz club, a cigar bar, […]
Andre’s Bakery and Bistro – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
So…What’s in a NAME?? Fred rode his bike past Julian’s…a restaurant where we’ve eaten many times. He rode by again the next day…and the Julian’s sign was gone. One window in the restaurant now says something like The Midnight Wine Bar…and the other window says Andre’s Bakery…so…What’s Up with THAT? We decided to […]
The Chart House – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
If you’re looking for a great spot to sit outside by the water, enjoy a cold beverage, and consume some AMAZING (and beautiful) appetizers…then you’d better give The Chart House in Fort Lauderdale a try. Friends Debbie and Toni took us there last night…and check out the food we enjoyed! The appetizers included […]
Culinary Convenience – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Some women LOVE to shop…for clothes, shoes, purses, etc. etc. etc. I am NOT one of those women. But I was like a kid in a candy store the other day when we made a stop at MY kind of store…called CULINARY CONVENIENCE…South Florida’s Chef Supply Store. (Yes…it’s even open to people like me who […]
Turtle Patrol – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
This morning, I decided to head to the beach for my very own personal Sunrise Easter Service. (Hubby was still sleeping!) Forget the crowds and the sermons. This was MY beach. And I was the only person there…and it was AWESOME. When suddenly…two young women on four-wheelers came FLYING up the beach. They […]
The Elbo Room – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
We took a step back in time…and paid a visit to The Elbo Room during our Fort Lauderdale tour with our friends. If you remember the movie Where The Boys Are…you have seen this place. And I can tell you it probably looks exactly the same today…except for the prices! It was fun to look […]
The Downtowner – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
When we got to the end of the line on the Water Taxi, I asked the Captain if he would make a “whistle stop” for us at the Downtowner. (A whistle stop is an unscheduled stop.) He obliged, and we jumped off the boat onto the dock and walked across the street to an outside […]
