Woo Hoo! I'm so proud of the fact that I KNOW it's June! I didn't post my pics in the May thread....... (I'm so lame...........LOL)
Lyn & I went to Orlando today to get a Costco membership to share, something we've meant to do for a while. She wanted to get some stuff for a party she & Bill are having next Tuesday at their house and I just wanted to get out of Dodge (if you know what I mean).
We stopped first at Trader Joe's....love that place! It's just fun to walk around and look at the different products ~ didn't buy much, but I did pick up a few things like CHEAP Jazz Apples from New Zealand. They are the most crisp, sweet apples I've ever eaten. I love to have one for a bedtime snack.
Then we went to The Ravishing Pig Restaurant for lunch. It's a little gastro pub in Winter Park. I had a Spring Pea Soup with crab cake croutons, thinly sliced melon and radishes. It was OK, but the menu didn't mention the cilantro oil & garnish ~ mostly ruined it for me, although I ate it (I wouldn't order it again). Lyn had a Gather's Salad with Spring Greens, mashed avocado, watermelon radishes, seeds and goat cheese with a house dressing. She said that was all she would have needed for lunch, it was 'that' good. Then we split the chicken BLT sandwich that had sliced peaches and frizee lettuce. Man, that was great! It had some sort of bacon jam/aoili and was really tasty. I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Here are the pic's I took:
