A delicious Thai meal

/ Roadtirementvintage / 25 Comments


Off on another adventure, we headed first to Greenfield, Indiana, east of Indianapolis. We were headed towards a new to us restaurant, Zapp Thai Restaurant. They offered many lunch specials, each including an entrée, soup and small salad.

Stir-fry mixed veggies

Sweet – sour pineapple, veggies with pork

Generous portions

Enjoying the Sweet & Sour plate

Fully stocked wine bar

We were very pleased with our meals. They were both filling and very tasty. This restaurant will definitely be one to which we return.

 

 

An afternoon outing

Yesterday early afternoon we made a quick trip to the store. Horrors of horrors we were completely out of trash bags! Anyway, after we purchased those bags we all (our son was with us) decided we needed and wanted to eat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Applebee’s sounded like a reasonable choice. The place was not busy and we were seated immediately. The placard on the table proudly announced half price appetizers. Those sounded good!

The frozen strawberry margaritas were great

We had a most enjoyable time together. The appetizers were very tasty and filling! We actually had a need for a couple of doggie bags (actually boxes) for take home. We really enjoy these kind of outings, and this one was extra fun because our son came with us.  Oh, and on the way home we spotted a bald eagle!  (Eagle picture here)

Thrilling bald eagle sighting

Today we were out for a drive, and upon returning to our neighborhood a large soaring bird came into view. It did not take long for us to recognize that our visitor was a bald eagle.

The bald eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782, no thanks to Ben Franklin. (Remember the turkey thing?) It has been one of the most powerful spiritual symbols for Native Americans for as long as most can remember.

Banalinga stones from India

These naturally weathered stones are found in only one riverbed in the world. That is the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh state in central India. These stones are considered sacred, are an iconic symbol of worship and are ancient and connote divinity.

Sacred stones for sale at the 2016 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

The shape of these stones, regardless of their size, are created naturally during the course of the flowing water and movement of the river bed sediments. It is quite the phenomena that these stones are found in only one place on Earth.

Dinner tonight

/ Roadtirementvintage / 19 Comments

We’d been basically stuck at home for the past few days via snow and stupid cold temperatures. Somehow pizza sounded pretty good for dinner tonight.

Love those olives

Alfredo sauce and bacon strips!

The car was a challenge to get the doors open, wipers free and 10 inches of snow removed. But with our son’s help we got it dug out. It needed to get started anyway, so our son picked up our online order at Papa Johns. Yummy and a nice break from cooking at home.
