As I typed the title for this post, I thought there must be a better way to say this...
I thought and thought and this was the best I could come up with.
I enjoy cooking but being it is just the hubs and I, we eat out several times a week.
Over the last few years I have been using meal plans
Home Chef
being my favorite with Cook Unity a close second.
Home Chef provides all the ingredients you need to prepare a meal, while with Cook Unity the meal is fully prepared, fresh not frozen and needs usually about 3 minutes in the microwave.
Long story longer,
I am embarrassed to admit that we sometimes travel to a restaurant we like, even if it is a distance away.
We enjoy car rides and I will often google the area to see if there is something close by that we could visit and enjoy while we are there.
We like Cracker Barrel, the restaurant and the store, but the closest one is 1/2 hour away, we go anyway.
On our latest jaunt there I found this park and we visited, after eating of course.
The visitors center was closed but I found a little information on-line.
Built in 1892,
this Queen-Anne "Country Style" home sits on the remaining 22 acres
of the Kuser family's original 70 acre estate.
The original owner of the home, Fred Kuser had business interests in Fox Films, Lenox and
Mercer Motor Car Company.
The Township purchased the property from the Kuser Family.
It is impeccably kept with beautiful gardens, a playground area and picnic tables.
The inside is open on weekends and tours are provided.
I found a video on YouTube, if the link works, you can view it here.
I did not read any information about the barn that was on the property,
I am sure it was used to house their horses.
The barn was very large and unique in shape.
So traveling to Cracker Barrel for fried chicken, theirs is the best, provided a very nice visit to
Remember to Google an area before you go, to see what hidden gems the area might hold!
S'mores Brownie Skillet
A warm chocolate brownie, topped with roasted marshmallow, a hershey milk chocolate bar...
served with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce on a bed of crumbled graham crackers...
recreating the experience of creating a s'mores over a campfire.

The ice cream looks mouth watering. The building reminds me of fairy tales and looks in good repair. Before my husband's demise we used to go to my favourite restaurant, an hours drive away, but the food was superb. After lunch we used to go on foot to a flower nursery near by, where we always bought something. It was an enjoyable afternoon.
Sometimes we would go to the beach to eat shellfish in one of the many restaurants along the coast, then go for a walk along the board walk. Now those times are over but my memories of them live on. Sorry to have written so much about my adventures but yours sparked happy memories I will never forget.
All the best
Sonjia.
