Forever Plaid

The New Theatre Restaurant has a sleek new look, a blend of art deco and futuristic elements that represents a top-to-bottom redesign of the theater, lobby, restrooms and serving areas. The updates are a nice addition to the buffet and plays. The new chairs had not arrived in time so we had the old chairs, […]

Breakfast At The Family Bistro

Steve, Kristie and I had lunch at the Family Bistro this morning. This place use to be the hot dog place, until the girl who was running it decided to open a different kind of eatery. Which was bad in the fact that she had some very unusual hot dogs. We haven’t heard many good […]

BRGR Kitchen & Bar

We went to BRGR Kitchen & Bar for dinner before seeing The Book Of Mormon at the Music Hall. BRGR is located in the Power and Light District in Kansas City. Prices were reasonable, unlike some the P&L establishments. The food was good but our waitress was having problems getting things right and remembering to […]

Food for the Party

Steve had a drink table set up on the back porch and had a nice selection of drinks. The dining room table had food on it and there was a warmer on the stove with things that need to be hot.

New Year’s Eve Dinner

We had a small get together for New Years Eve and the next few post will tell you about the evening as it unfolded. The Geiss and Bender families came for dinner. Ted had to work so he wasn’t able to come but we sent food home for him the next day. I made Turkey […]

Dee and I had the smoked salmon sandwich dressed with herb cream cheese, pickles, lettuce and red onions with a side of slaw. Steve and Holan had the […]

Cameron Turns Three

Our grand-nephew turned three recently. The party was held at a park and it was a wonderful afternoon to be outside. The kids enjoyed the park and the adults enjoyed chatting under the shelter. There were balloons, poppers and of course cake and ice cream. Amy decorated the Spider Man cake, really cool, and she […]

Here’s What For Breakfast

This was our breakfast this morning. Steve had the Eggo blueberry waffle and mine was the Jimmy Dean’s light breakfast sandwich.  

Dehydrating Apples

    A couple of years ago, we were really interested in making apple chips. However, we couldn’t figure out an easy way to make them. We did think that a dehydrator was the answer. Rick and Suzy were here visiting at that time and started looking at yards for the dehydrator. It took almost […]

Fire Pit and Mashmallows

We gathered around the fire pit to watch the fireworks. We roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. Dee dropped one of her marshmallows and Phyllis roasted one to a golden brown. The pictures are a little fuzzy because of the low light.
