BnB '13 the Fall Edition

Surprise!  Tullybird came for another visit this year!  She wanted to experience another month in the Midwest besides May.

We started her visit off with an excellent lunch, at Oklahoma Joe's.  I tell ya, at 3:30pm, this place was still hopping.  But it was a manageable size of crowd.  We opted for the dine-in experience, since she has never eaten inside a gas station.  It was tasty.

The Z-man sandwich.  Amazing.

The evening of her first day, we had on the agenda "meatloaf surprise" for dinner.  

Meatloaf surprise (cheesy hotdog), roasted root vege's, homemade bun, and salad with fresh raspberry dressing

Todd always puts a river of mozzarella in the middle of his meatloaf.  And he hides something.  This time it was mini cheesy hotdogs.  Yum.

Oh yea, and we had PB&T's for our beverage that evening.  We had a version of this drink last year, but I believe it was even better this year with a few changes.

PB&Ts

 PB&T's, the enhanced version:
2 parts Sprite
1 part Grape Juice
1 part PB&J Vodka (yes, this is peanut butter and jelly flavored vodka)
1 part Raspberry Liquor (like Chambord)
1/2 part Raspberry Vodka

These should mix like a martini.  However, if you serve them in a beer mug, I suggest that you limit consumption to 3.  Because 4 is just 1 to many.

This morning, we had a puffy pancake that I call a Dutch Baby Pancake.  It was sooooo good!

It's a MAGIC pancake!

Breakfast also included eggs and bacon.  It was tasty.

Blueberry butter on the pancake was great--it looks gross before it melted, but it was wonderful

We had a Mexican fiesta tonight, but I forgot to take a picture of Todd's awesome chili Verde.  That man can cook some pork!  We skipped the margaritas though, because we are waking up early tomorrow to hit the trail.

I leave you with a picture of the kids from a few weeks ago.  Aren't they precious?

Bye bye!
