Good food is the foundation

 of genuine happiness...

 Arvid and I checked out a burger joint not too

 far from us.  I was talking to another of our neighbors 

and he told me we must go there and try the burgers.

  He sure was not wrong.  It was very delicious.  

I am very surprised at all the restaurants that are so

 close by to us.  Especially Star Bar because that's 

our to go place when we don't feel like driving.

One cannot think well, love well,

 sleep well, if one has not dined well.

To all a very good day.  Already planning my next meal.

Food is our common ground, 

a universal experience...

Tuesday June 20th~

A recipe has no soul.  You, as the cook,

 must bring soul to the recipe...

 On Sunday we were invited to a Bavarian restaurant

 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  We were 7 and this turned out to 

be one very pleasant evening.  The food just kept coming.  I even 

had sauerkraut soup, and I have to say it was not bad at all.

We started with an appetizer that was different from any I

 have ever had, and that was also delicious.  Between

 the soup and appetizer I was was already full.

The main course was a selection of duck, which I have to say

 was super moist and tender. Steak Madagascar, of course I had this

 and was delicious.  Arvid decided to go with the jager schnitzel. 

 Everything was super delicious.  Company was excellent.

Dinner was later than what we are used to, but well worth it. 

  The drive to get to the restaurant was a little over an hour, 

but also well worth it because we sure had a very good time.

Sniff is already in his spot.  Today will be another good day

 for bird watching and a few catnaps in between.  He's a happy boy. 

 There is nothing in the world that good food cannot fix...
