Welcome

I had a demanding career back in the day and traveled a lot so needless to say, I would do about anything to avoid cooking. Ironically enough, I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.

Anyway, since my husband and I dined out several times a week and well, we still do, people always wanted my advice on where to eat, what to have, what is the best new hot spot and they wanted details, details, details. I live in a vacation spot so I would also be asked for recommendations on where to take out of town guests and by price range, no less. So this blog is a way for my friends, family and anyone who is interested to read about my latest dining or drinking experiences, mostly in and around south Florida. They might even find a recipe or two on those occasions I actually stay home. Good eating!

Station House

I was talking to Mom today and she reminded me about my blog - thing is, I haven't written anything in a while. First of all, I still haven't felt the best. It started with the stomach flu and next it went into a bad head cold, which I'm just now getting over. So eating and food haven't been on my mind that much.

However, tonight we went to one of our favorite places - The Station House in Lantana. I have to mention one of my favorite cocktails is made here by Steve, the bartender. It's not on the menu but it's a concoction he does and it's good - very refreshing. A Pear-tini. I love having that with their French bread and butter. Who needs a meal after that. But we do - we generally split a dinner there as there's plenty to eat. Tonight we split the stuffed lobster tails, garlic mashed potatoes and salad. Great little spot and the only place I know of locally that truly does have fresh, flown-in-from-Maine-daily lobster. It's never frozen. I've gotten so I don't care to eat lobster boiled fresh. Don't know why but it's just something I don't do any longer. Tonight was the first time in ages I've even had lobster but since they were the tails and stuffed, it was all good. We were gonna head to the Ice Cream Club on the beach afterwards but we were stuffed (no pun intended :-) Besides I have two desserts waiting here at home - a Pina Colada Cake and some Berry Peach Crisp - yes, even feeling poorly, I somehow manage to have desserts around the house.
