Gaucho’s Brazilian Steakhouse

Gaucho’s Brazilian Steakhouse [adrotate group=”6″] Valparaiso, IN The first time I visited Valparaiso, IN was 2007. My girlfriend was new to the area, so neither of us had a clue as far as any of the good restaurants in the area. It seemed that in order for us to find fine dining we had to drive an hour north to Chicago. Luckily, we happened to drive past Gaucho’s on Highway 30. Not only was the food good, the service was great. At the end of our meal we went into the cocktail lounge. Tanya had recently been introduced to Mai …

Project 365, Day 115, More Morels

Today, Tanya cooked up some of the morel mushrooms we found yesterday. From what I recall, you soak the morels in salt water for several hours to kill any life forms that may have taken up residence in them. You then melt a couple pounds of butter, beat a few eggs, dip the mushrooms in the eggs, roll them in some flour, then fry them up in the melted butter. They are okay, but if I lived somewhere like IN I would probably sell them as I could never eat as many as we found. Today’s photo is the end …

Morel Mushroom Hunting

Mushroom Hunting Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Hunting the Elusive Morel Mushroom Tanya discovered mushroom hunting last season, and since we were in Indiana during mushroom season, she decided to show me what it is all about. After spotting my first one, I started thinking that I have seen these around, but never realized what they were. As of this posting, I have still never tasted one, but maybe that will happen today.

Reunited – Day 113 of Project 365

Project 365, Day 113 of my daily photo log. Last night was a pretty strenuous evening for everyone involved. Buddy got spooked and ran off into the darkness. As I figured he would, he eventually found a home with another dog and decided to walk inside their house. So, while we were frantic, cruising the neighborhoods and yelling out his name, he was kicked back enjoying the company of a doberman. I bought him a second dog tag today, with three of my telephone numbers on it. An advantage of this is that now it sounds like he is wearing …

Goodbye My Friend

Day 112. Buddy ran off. Doubt I will ever see him again as he has no clue where he is and he was scared. I am bummed and pissed at myself. Not sure if I will continue this or not. Could be the end.

Photos From Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois

Photos From Road Trip Day 10 [adrotate group=”6″] Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois Day 10 of our road trip started off in Jonesboro, AR after spending a lovely evening with some friends that live there. We really did not know where we were going to travel to today, but as we were less than 600 miles from Tanya’s home, there was a good chance that this would be the last day of this leg of the trip. We ended up headed to Missouri and the Mississippi River. We took some side roads and drove along a levee which gave us …

Photos From Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas

Road Trip Day 9 Photos [adrotate group=”6″] Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas I have to admit, I am beginning to forget what day this is or what time zone. We started today off by driving to Camp Shelby, in Hattiesburg to deliver some lip balm to the troops stationed there awaiting deployment to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, we did not have enough for everyone, but a few hundred tubes will help a few hundred people. After leaving Hattiesburg we decided to visit some friends in Arkansas. We has a great dinner there. Southern hospitality rocks. [adrotate group=”1″]
