It's not often my daughter and I treat ourselves to elegant yet casual dressed dining. But with this weekend being my daughter's birthday I thought it would be nice to visit Caproni's On The River located in Maysville Kentucky. Caproni's sits right next to the Ohio river and within steps of the train track and depot.
With the sweet ambiance Caproni's has to offer, enjoying a meal is a bonus. I had a plate full of heaven! My heaven you ask? Delicious mussels that were seasoned to perfection over a bed of angel hair pasta and a zesty tomato marinara sauce. Deliciousoso!
It was so relaxing to eat a scrumptious dish and enjoy the barges and boats travel the river. Sharing this moment with my daughter makes it even more special. Plus you never know when George Clooney just may walk in. :-)

Food with a view!

Wine's the word....
Amongst all the corn fields and flat lands of Indiana is a place called Winzerwald Winery. Want to get your wine on? Then you must visit the Evansville Tasting Room right in the middle of Evansville, Indiana.
I accidentally came across this establishment while walking around downtown. I am one who will never turn down a wine tasting. :-)
The manager of Evansville Tasting Room is Ray Vigurs and he was an awesome hostess. Before I knew it I had been there for an hour talking to Ray as if I've known him my whole life. I did get to taste a good amount of various wines and my favorite was Schweizer Spice. A hint of fruity, nutty, and perfect blend of spices. I ended up buying 4 bottles to take home. :-)
Mamamia Papapia! It's The Lost Pizza!
One of the great things about my job is the opportunity to travel around the USA. Last year I had the opportunity to work in Tupelo, Mississippi. It was my first time in Tupelo and I must say it is such a layed back, relaxed, quaint, hospitable, and none the less a city full of flavor! Also where Elvis Presley was born. :-)
Every Sunday after work, my coworkers and I made it a must to eat at a local hot spot called Lost Pizza Co. Who could not turn down awesome pizza and cold beer after a long day at work? The novelty of Lost Pizza is a mixture of a being in tiki bar, nostalgic, blues, soulful, and relaxing.
I especially love the names of their pizzas. My favorite was The Happy Hippie which is a veggie pizza. The spinach, artichokes, and house cheese definitely put it over the top! Other names include The Otis for meat lovers, The Kujo, The Hot Chick and many more. Definitely a place to eat if you are in Tupelo. I guarantee you'll go back! :-)
Pho BC!
Looking for vietnamese food in Lexinton KY? A place to check out is Pho BC vietnamese restaurant on Lowry Lane. My coworkers and I always plan to go when our schedules allow us too. It is a very small restaurant but comfortable, clean, and delicious!
Last night I had their rice noodle salad with chicken. It was so fresh and delicious. The noodles were cooked perfectly. The lettuce, green onion, white onion, cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts, and cilantro was fresh and colorful. The chicken cooked tender and seasoned well. Top off this delicious dish with two eggrolls and Nuoc Mam Cham sauce and you have a delightful bowl of yumminess!
