Yesterday we met up with Joan and Scottie for lunch. Joan wanted us to see her son's new restuarant, The Highlander. It is located in St. Louis near the Science Center. It is located on the property that used to be the Highlands Park back in the days when we were kids. It had all of the merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels, and other carnival events. We absolutely loved going there as kids. Hasn't been around for many, many years. But everyone from St. Louis who grew up here knows of the Highlands. So the restuarant being called The Highlander seems appropriate.
If you look closely on the right side of the menu in the white section, there is an item called Scotch Eggs. Apparently this is a very favorite item in the bars of Scotland. We ordered them and they were quite unique...........hard boiled egg, coated with sausage/breading mix and then deep fried. They are served with a tangy mustard. Very good !!!
After lunch, we went to the new casino in the south St. Louis area. We had never been there. It is a very glitzy casino and we were impressed. We split up and played for about an hour. I was the big winner.....................I left there with $1.59 more than I arrive with.
It was good to see them and spend the day with them.
hugs,
linda and barb
