What did you cook or eat today (September 2023)?

Geez wtf? $40 U.S. Monie units?

Yep, made the $25/per person entrance fee and $10 parking seem reasonable.

Stopped here on the way home:

I apparently missed the flip side of the beer list. Whoops!

There are three (I think) locations here - local place opened by a real live Belgian dude.

We actually look quite a bit alike (poor fellow), and years ago, right after he’d opened his second location (his first proper sit-down place), we stopped in, and when the host saw us sort of over his shoulder, he didn’t really look at us and just said something like, “Hey, what’s up?”

I thought, “Gee, that’s a little informal,” and when we didn’t move, he turned around and got a good look at me, apologized, and said, “Wow, I thought you were the owner, you look just like him!”

We laughed, and laughed some more, then I said, “Yeah, well actually, you’re fired!” - and he stopped laughing.

The food and drink:

MrsT’s waffle not shown - apple cinnamon. Drinks are a Belgian Witbier (me) and an orange hard cider - tasted like orange koolaid made with four times the sugar.

These were available at the Belgian place as well:

As was this bit of instruction on the way back to the restrooms:

I've eaten twice in "Taste of Belgium". Can't say I'm very impressed. The waffles I had first time were slathered in so much artificial-tasting cream, I almost flicked it on the floor.
Second time, I got this gooey server (" Hiiiii!!! My name is Eric and I'm your server today! Thank you sooooo much for coming to Taste of Belgium!! Here's your menu, Sir. Enjoy!!")
"Just give me an espresso and a slice of cheesecake,mate"
That took about 15 minutes..

Oh, there are a couple of Farraris parked out front, the yachts in the hotel marina are rather large, and someone turned up in a helicopter this afternoon.

I remember my one and only day in Monte Carlo. The cars there had me giddy. There were two cars there I had to look up later on the internet, because I had never seen or heard of them before. -- and I worked for a car magazine!

I once made a Belgian waffle.

I also made a Frenchman talk rubbish.

I've made the liege waffles several times. Had to order the pearled sugar. It's also a HUGE pain to clean the waffle maker after.

Fish and chips, pasta, or white castle? Any of them would be amazing.

Dinner this evening was a sharing fish platter for 2.

 

[Morning Glory]

Fish and chips, pasta, or white castle?

What is white castle?

 

[Puggles]

What is white castle?

The best, most delicious bowel obstruction you've ever had.
- White Castle

Here’s post about that when I was a wee Cookin’Bites baby:
