Happy What I Ate Wednesday!
I am linking up again for #WIAW with some stand out eats from the past few days!
Sunday Sal (the fiance) and I took a drive to Salem, MA to walk around and get some lunch. We stopped at a restaurant called the Village Tavern, which was hosting Jazz Brunch!
The burgers on the menu sounded so delicious, so I got a mushroom and swiss burger and although it was set up a little bit messy, it was so darn good!
On the side, this happened…
Cheesy Bacon Pub Fries – Smothered in homemade nacho cheese, sprinkled with smoked bacon bits.
And to drink, a Bloody Mary!
The good thing is we walked around tons popping in and out of the Salem shops, so at least we burned SOME of the many calories walking, ha.
On a healthier note, we definitely made tons of use of the grill the past few nights for our protein and veggies including lots of garden goodies!
Sooo good!
Lime margarita marinated shrimp and grilled asparagus plus rice, a la Sal!
Sal also made fresh watermelon margaritas with a lime salt rim!
And he even put in some Pacman ice cubes – ha. He is the best!
What about you – any good eats today or this past week?
OMG I want those fries!!! I haven’t been to Salem in years but I may have to make a trip just for them.
I definitely think you would like this place – the menu has such a good variety – even barbecue ! And of course Salem is like no other place with all the witch stores and psychics and shops!
Salem is sooooo rad and cool. Ever take the boat? Fun way to get there…
The witch stuff is so much fun too. And where did you find psychedelics for sale? Was it mushrooms or molly? That’s so cool.
You like jazz… that music is very iintetesting. There’s never any words. But I luv luv luv the Kenny g. Christmas album.and that’s jazz. Did the jazz band you saw sound like Kenny G?
Wowie to those cheesy, gooey fries. I think it’s so neat that you can turn shopping into a cardio workout. Do you jog between the shops and then run in place while you’re shopping and standing in line?
My Grammy Emma in Florida goes to the mall in her juicy velour track suit and power walks. ..you ever do that? She luvs it and is in great shape for a grandmother.
Those ice cubes didn’t look like Pacific Man Jones. ..iif I bought ice cubes that looked like a football player I’d go for Tom Terrific Brady ice cubes…he’s my dream boy!!!!!!!
Today I ate zucchini bread for breakfast..
And that wasn’t enough so I had a huge lunch at Limoncello. Ever go?
I had Italian tuna with mozzarella and then eggplant parm with ziti, and for dessert a dish of tiramisu. So dinner will be light.
Your lucky Sal is such a great cook. I’d luv to find a man who can do magic in the kitchen.
Whoa that meals sounds amazing – yes i have been to limoncello if it is the north end one you are referring too!
Yes indeedee the limoncello near paul revere house…
Nice place and one of few in North end That serves lunch…
It was such a depressing and grey day and because weather conditions sucked so much all I wanted to do was eat…ever feel like that?
Lunch was great!!!!
I tried power walking like you did in Salem but couldn’t keep it going with all the wind n rain…but I popped into Lit and Twilight and jogged in place to burn off the ziti and tiramisu while I looked at all the fab clothes that I can’t afford.
