Tennessee Roadhouse Extravaganza

Our night tonight was a wild one. Many good times included one pit stop to the infamous Tennessee Roadhouse in Alexandria. On the outside it's country western structure screams "Come On In For Some Good Down Home Comfort Food". With friendly service and a warm atmosphere look no further if you want a night out with your friends or family that be remembered. Tonight my daughter and I both tried the South Zita which was in Tennessee Roadhouse terms "To Die For", and let me tell you it was to die for! With thick slices of hearty grilled italian sausage and grilled strips of blacken chicken atop Penni pasta all nestled in a bowl with a delicious marinara sauce and bell peppers, onions & melted Parmesan cheese. Mmmmm you have to taste this one! With the unique flavors that tantalize your taste buds you will not leave this establishment hungry and most certainly will have leftovers to enjoy the next day. With the price of this entree you can't go wrong. We give this a big yee-haw five stars!

The Mercentile

It was family & friends night at the Merc last night! It is getting to be a bit of a ritual for our Saturday nights. I think we are preparing ourselves for the big Lake Ida move this Spring.
We all had some dinner and the drink of the night was Root Beer Floats! Okay if you have never had these you honestly need to stop by the Merc just to try them. They could really get a girl in trouble! Great company, great drinks and a few pull tabs. What a great way to spend a -24 below night. Until next weekend!

Scary Windshields & A Bennigan's Night

Everyone at this time of the year posts on Facebook, why do we live in Minnesota when the windshields are -40 zero? Not really sure how to answer that question due to the fact that we all are still here and with it being Friday night, we still all brave the weather and go out to socialize with one another. Maybe the weather isn't crazy, maybe it's us. Well tonight is Happy Hour at Bennigan's. If you have never been there before (go early or you will not get a table). They have two for one drink specials and 2 dollars off appetizer's until 6pm. One of my favorite appetizer there is the broccoli bites.

Drive safe and stay warm.
