thanks for the updates, sounds like you're having a great time. DD will explode with excitement when she spots one of those Ben and Jerry's cookie dough sandwiches.

Just a nibbly lunch.

Black Cherry Mule





Nice and gingery with a hint of cherry.

We are sharing two small dishes.

Cheese Bol***ks
mozzarella & provolone cheeses, fried beer batter, marinara.







So much better than normal mozzarella sticks for some reason.

Sausage Flatbread
italian sausage, mushrooms, onion, provolone, mozzarella, marinara





Both have been featured in a previous food report of mine. These are new pictures though.

Enjoyed them as much as before and would definitely have them again.

Ooh I've not heard of a black cherry Mule. DH and myself became addicted to the 'mules' on our trip this summer. We made a Montana Mule a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't half bad...I'm studying the photo of the menu so that I can re-create your black cherry. It seems you're having a fab time. Can't wait for the next installment.

Ooh have a fab time! Will be reading along. Cheese balls looked really nice.

Just a few drinks by the pool in the afternoon from Walgreens.

Dinner at Brickhouse which is opposite the I-Drive 360 Complex. We have been wanting to try here for a few years.

Sirloin Steak Tips
Sirloin marinated for 24 hours, with mushrooms & onion gravy, crispy shallots & choice of side.

As my side I chose asparagus and asked for the steak cooked medium.







I really enjoyed this. The steak was as soft as fillet. Only criticism is I could have used more crispy shallots as they were very nice.

Chicken Pot Pie
Pulled chicken, red potatoes, peas & thyme topped with flaky puff pastry. Baked daily.





Another hit. He said this was very flavourful and actually quite light. It had potatoes inside though so plenty filling. I tried it and it was delicious. Both of us would order this in the future.

This years speciality cocktail was a bit funkier than usual.

The choices were:

Liquid Courage – Tangerine rum with orange juice and sprite.

Liquid Fear – Vodka cocktail with cranberry juice and lemonade.

Midnight Madness – 50% Liquid Courage, 50% Liquid Fear, 100% Midnight Madness.

The mixed option last year was also offered but together in the same glass.

This time the souvenir glass was split into 2 separate sections with a cool twisted straw.





As you drink, they mix together.



Both drinks were nice but we preferred the purple side. The orange one, the orange juice was a bit strong and sat heavy.

When we refilled we asked for both sides to be filled with the Liquid Fear.

Initial drink was $12.99 with souvenir cup. Refills after are $8.99.

Those cups/straws look amazing! I do love a souvenir glass

Some great looking food so far

I do love the names of those cocktails...Liquid Courage! Wow the colours too look amazing!
