It has been really hot and steamy here along the Gulf Coast, until today, when a front went through and dropped the temps about 15 degrees to tolerable. A light breeze this morning and the sun was shining but by 1 p.m it was all overcast and the Thunder heads were gathering. I discovered several things we were out of and went to look for a grocery store. Lo and behold I found a Winn-Dixie. Then on down the highway further was the Original Lambert's Cafe...home of the "Throwed" Rolls.
We went to the other one south of Springfield MO. a couple years ago..and the atmosphere was a complete Hoot! They literally Throw piping hot out of the oven dinner rolls across the room at ya...
You order an entree and sides off the menu..but servers are serving up hot fried okra, buckets of fried potatoes, macaroni and tomatoes, and all the extras that you could ever want to your table all the time.
All you can eat...and you walk out of there stuffed. I was trying to be good, and I brought a lot of food home!
We have small Magnolia trees here in front of the coach and at the entrance to the park there's mature trees that have lots of blossoms.
They really welcomed this rain...we have received about 1/4" today. One thing I don't like is stinky wet dog...so foofy dog got to wear her raincoat and so did her master! We drove through Mobile Alabama yesterday.
Noticed increased presence of Border Patrol Vehicles. Lots of ships, even a Cruise Ship in port. We got to go through a tunnel under the bay, and across on the beltway, a highway on cement pillars in the water.
Back on dry land we drove about 30 more miles ot our destination. Some people that used to run a restaurant in our hometown live in Mobile. She has a catering business and they had us over for a fantastic fish dinner last night. Tomorrow we are getting together and I am praying for sun as we are going to Gulf Shores and a place called Flori/bama. Should be a good day and I want to walk on the beach for a while.
Go see the USS Alabama in Mobile. It's a really good tour!
ReplyDeleteI saw Lamberts on Drive-Ins, Diners and Dives a while ago. Fun!
ReplyDeleteWe've been to Lamberts several times. Once with a group of at more than a dozen SKPs. I always come home with enough leftovers for several meals. It's the most generous restaurant we've ever visited. In addition to being a place full of practical jokers that still get me sometimes even though I know the jokes by now.
