Fairview Lounge (019/365)

TIME: 6:24 PM
PLACE: Fairview Heights
SUBJECT: Fairview Lounge Panka Peru (and gas station)

StellaDella and I went for adventure tonight for dinner; somewhere we had never been, to eat food we have never tried – Peruvian food.

We had “Palta Rellena” as an appetizer, a Peruvian avocado which was stuffed with peas, carrots, chicken and mayo.

SD then had “Chaufa de Pollo” for her main course; stir fried rice with green onion, eggs and chicken.

I had “Lomo Saltado” which is “A traditional recipe of strips of tenderloin flamed with wine, sautéed with red onion, tomato, and a soy sauce reduction. Served with French fries and a side of white rice infused in garlic.”

It was really good – I’ve been here before for the bar, and purchased gasoline as well, but never for the food.  I plan to return!

SUBJECT:  Trailway Motel sign

On our way back from MonkeyBoy’s baseball game last Tuesday, we passed this motel.  I remarked that it had a neat sign and I would have to come back and get a photo at some point for my blog.  The family went out for supper tonight (Applebees) and after we had finished and gotten back in the car, HandsomeHusband asked me if I had a photo for today; when I said I hadn’t yet, he drove so I could take this picture.  Isn’t that sweet?  *grins*
