All Hallow's Eve...

It's almost here, my favorite holiday! I have to admit, I have been a little slow getting into the holiday spirit this year, but today, a childhood friend and I more than made up for it...

We ventured on up to Georgetown's Evans Orchard where we searched for the perfect pumpkins. The pumpkins were 50% off (per pound) since we were cutting it pretty close to Halloween.

Of course we couldn't leave without purchasing some of their tasty homemade fudge (chocolate, peanut butter and chocolate swirl, and cookies'n'cream), fresh apple cider, and honey:

Sarah and I tried out our pumpkin-carving skills while enjoying a tasty red wine blend from California called promisQous...and toasted punkin' seeds...

My punkin'; Sarah's punkin'; and LCpl Logan Stricker's punkin' - WE MISS YOU LOGAN!

Not a bad way to end a beautiful day...

A special Happy Halloween to our troops overseas, thank you for your service!

There's a new lunch spot in town and it's delicious! Dad's Favorites was founded in 2008 by "Dad" aka James Caudill and Susan Bratton. They have been selling their cheese spreads at the Farmer's Market and picking up the People's Choice award at this year's Incredible Food Show and Best of KY Proud Food in 2010.


They have now opened a deli off Lane Allen Rd which serves six signature sandwiches:

Friday - Baked Fish Sandwich with Dad's Signature sauce ($6)

Homemade soups are offered daily, along with chips and cookies. Lunch is served Monday - Friday from 10 am to 3 pm. There is limited seating, so they recommend take out, as well as offering delivery.

My mom and I went last week...I cannot wait to go back... I had the Swiss and Country Ham while Mom had the Smokey Pimento BLT. Understandably the winner of the People's Choice and best KY Proud food...

Dad's is located at 820 Lane Allen Rd in Garden Springs Shopping Center. It's a bit hidden, but very much worth the search. Check out their website at Dad's Favorties and be sure to visit the deli!
