Mon Ami Winery

When Chuck and I 

got married almost 15 yrs ago

we couldn't afford much for 

a honeymoon but I did

fly out to Ohio

from AZ and we

stayed at a bed abd breakfast

then went

to Kelly's Island on Lake Erie

for the day

We also went to Mon Ami

for dinner and wine

The place has changed alot over the years

The main room now is open

it use to be booths

and tables

there are 2 barrel shaped booths

The night we went they had a pasta bar

where you selected the type pasta

sauce and the ingredients and they cooked

it i front of you

When we were there before they had a seperate building

called the chalet

it was a small 

run down chalet

with a fireplace

this is what they call the chalet now

not even close

Malabar Inn

On our way home from vacation

we stopped at 

the historic Malabar Inn for lunch

located within Malabar State Park

, it is a restored "stagecoach" inn built in 1820.

 Today, the inn is state-owned and offers home-cooked meals 

My hsb had

BAYOU MEATLOAF
Two slices of home-made meatloaf 

with andouille sausage in the middle.

 Topped with mushroom sauce.

I had

CROQUE MONSIEUR SANDWICH
A traditional French Sandwich

 served hot on grilled baguette bread 

with grilled ham and melted fontina cheese.

There is a produce stand next door
