If you haven’t been to Bonefish Grill recently, or like me, ever, then you really do need to go now.  Like, right now.  Head on over there and check out their new delicious Fall Crush Menu.

Just look at all the tasty items on their menu from their website.  In the back there is sangria flatbread, then there’s the Atlantic Salmon with Bacon Jam, Malbec Marinated Steak and Shrimp and the Vintner’s Burger.  There’s MANY other delicious and new items on their menu.

We arrived a little early, so we cozied up to the bar for a round of drinks before checking in for our reservation.  They have some delicious drinks on their menu.  Not only do they have a nice selection of wines and beers on top or bottled, they also have martinis and other cocktails, like this delicious Modern Mojito.  It starts with muddling an orange in the bottom of the glass, then they add Pyrat amber rum, mint simple syrup and a splash of Grand Marnier.  Voila.  I love this different take on a traditional Hemingway favorite.  I had two.  They were fabulous!

No only do they have delicious food and drinks, they also affiliated with Ocean Trust.  Ocean Trust is an ocean conservation foundation that builds partnerships to help the environment.  So, not only tasty, but earth conscious.  Also, Bonefish Grill will donate $1 to Ocean Trust for each martini ordered with the same name.

We checked in at the host station and waited a few short minutes before being seated at our table where we had a fabulous server!  She took another round of drink orders, gave us a few minutes, and then took our appetizer order.

We went traditional on the appetizers.  This Thai Coconut Shrimp was amazing.  The sweet and spicy sauce paired with the crispy panko/coconut crust made for some succulent shrimp.  They didn’t last long on the plate.

After our anniversary dinner, I wanted to try the Bonefish Grill’s Ahi Tuna Sashimi.  It was mouth wateringly delicious!  The tuna was perfectly cooked and the dressing drizzled over the top meant this one didn’t last long on the plate.

After our appetizer, we had  a round of bread.  I don’t shy away from carbs based on the eating plan from S’s step-mother.  So, S and I dug into this delicious bread with amazing, fresh herb dipping oil.  No.  The oil is not really on the plan, but I had to taste it.  I could have licked the bowl, but instead tried to dip out as much of the herbs as I could.

And now a word about the entrees.  I snuck a peak a the menu before we arrived and knew exactly what I would be ordering, but just listen to these options!

• Hickory Smoked Salmon Appetizer – in-house smoked, served chilled with pickled onions, brioche toast, red remoulade + lemon caper Dijon for dipping
• Vintner’s Burger – wood-grilled half pound American Kobe beef with caramelized onions, Danish Blue cheese + red wine jam, served with fresh greens or house made chips
• Atlantic Salmon + Bacon Jam Butter – wood-grilled + served with choice of fresh side item
• Swordfish + Pumpkin Ravioli – topped with feta, crispy sage + shallot brown butter
• Malbec Marinated Steak + Shrimp – 6 oz center cut sirloin topped with wood-grilled shrimp, served with Dona Paula Los Cardos Malbec sauce + choice of fresh side item
• Pan Roasted Snapper + Shrimp – topped with grape tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, white wine scampi sauce, served with herbed couscous + French green beans

Since we were very new to Bonefish Grill and all its many menu choices and side dish options, our server did very well to listen to our tastes and recommend side dishes and salad options for us to try.  Since my dad and step-mother usually eat a no carb diet, she made some excellent recommendations in lieu of the carbs that came with their meals.

Of course, I had to order the swordfish.  It truly is my favorite fish of all time.  And it was amazing.  It was cooked perfectly and deliciously juicy.  The creamy feta and crisped sage were perfect with the pumpkin ravioli.  No, this isn’t like pumpkin pie.  However, it does have a slightly sweet flavor, but it is not enhanced with sugars, that I could taste.  And the pasta?  It tasted fresh.  Like made that day fresh.  Taking a bite out all of these elements at one time was a symphony in my mouth!  I savored every single bite.

I can still taste the fish and ravioli and we were there over a week ago.  The flavors were just that memorable!

Dad had the Chilean Sea Bass from their regular menu.  He chose the lemon butter sauce to go with the fish.  He also had the steamed broccoli and opted for the premium side dish of asparagus.  I think he licked the plate.  The fish was moist and perfectly flaky.  The butter sauce had the perfect lemon flavor.

My step-mother ordered the other dish I considered.  She had the Malbec marinated steak and shrimp.  Except, she opted for the pumpkin ravioli.  She splurged on carbs that night.  The picture on the right is from Bonefish Grill and the one on the right is from my phone.  It was dark in there.  But you can see, they do look very similar!

Now, my step-mother doesn’t eat a lot.  And she really doesn’t eat a lot of red meat or protein for that matter.  But honestly, she pounded this steak!!  There wasn’t much left for Dad to finish by the time she was done eating.  Which is like, unheard of from her!  That is how amazing this steak tastes.  She loves malbec wine so it was the most logical option for her.

Finally, my husband ordered salmon.  Since I don’t like it, we don’t have it at home.  He tried the Atlantic Salmon with Bacon Jam Butter.  As you can see, it is heafty portion of fish. I think he opted for the larger portion since he doesn’t get samon that often.  I know he licked the plate.  His fish was just as perfectly cooked as the rest of our meals.  The potatoes were deliciously creamy.  He also had the asparagus.  I know he could have had a double helping he said it was that flavorful.

And, of course, dessert!

• Pumpkin Crème Brûlée – decadent with hints of cinnamon + nutmeg with whip cream
• Sangria Flatbread – brioche flatbread topped with berry sangria preserve, marscapone cheese, candied pecans and drizzled with a creamy white wine custards sauce.

Now this.  This tastes like pumpkin pie.  If pumpkin pie was deliciously creamy, custardy, and coated with caramelized sugar topping.  Then yes yes it does taste like pumpkin pie.  Like the most amazing and decadent pumpkin pie to have ever passed your lips.
We had the most amazing time at Bonefish Grill.  The food was amazing.  The service was fantastic.  Drinks were delicious.  

We laughed and talked and had the best time with my father and step-mother that night.  The words “we need to go this again soon here” were uttered many times that night and the following day. So, don’t miss out on these scrumptious seasonal menu items at Bonefish Grill and head on over to your local location as soon as possible.  It helps to make a reservation, because they get booked quickly and the line was getting longer and longer as we ate.

I received a gift card to dine at Bonefish Grill but all opinions are 100% my own.

S and I were tooling around antique stores and flea markets in the Fredericksburg, VA area.  It got to be around the time for lunch and we happened up on this place.  We didn’t go looking for it, we did just stumble on it walking down main street old town Fredericksburg.  I needed to take a load off and have a nosh.  That blood sugar thing, again.  *sigh*

Initially we were just going in to take a load off and have a beer.  But as we were sitting there, I started to get hungry.  Our choices were nibble and then head home for early dinner or just eat there.  After looking at the menu, my watch, and the beer selection, I opted to eat here.

That’s just the bottle beer selection at the Capital Ale House in Fredericksburg.  And you really can’t tell, but those are each full size refrigerator sized cases.  They have a crapton of beers.  AND they have a ton of beers on tap.  I think they had about 10 or 15 beer wells?  I ordered cider; Bold Rock Hard Cider to be exact.  S had a beer.  I can’t remember what kind.  He ordered a local one on the menu, but didn’t like it.  He tried another one.  Still can’t remember what it was, but he did like that one.  I order a pear hard cider.  I can’t find the brand name, but it was different.  I liked it.  But that does you now good since I don’t know the name.  Which is okay.  This is about the restaurant, not the beer.

That’s calamari if you didn’t recognize it.  That’s calamari with an ancho chile sauce.  On the menu, it’s a corn salsa with cilantro aioli, but as y’all know, I cannot STAND cilantro.  Like, makes me wretch can’t stand it.

If calamari is on the menu we’re more than likely going to order it.  I know, Mom.  I wouldn’t even touch the stuff when I was a kid.  But if they have the pieces that look like mini octopus (you know the ends of the tentacles I think it is) I won’t go anywhere near that.  S will eat them, but not me.  Just can’t even look at them.  Yes, I still have some weird food issues.

It was crispy.  It was tender.  It was SO delicious!!  I loved the corn salsa with the ancho chili sauce.  The sauce wasn’t too spicy that you couldn’t taste the fabulous calamari.  I honestly think it was one of the best calamari appetizers we’ve had in a while.  They were cooked perfectly and tasted yummy!

Heh.  That’s a half eaten prime rib sandwich and fries.  We had the calamari and shared a sammy.  The beef on the sandwich was super tender.  The au jus was not too salty like it usually is for my taste.  The flavored mayonnaise for the fries was delicious!!  I don’t really know what was in it, but I like that they were served with mayonnaise.  I do that sometimes, just cause it tastes good!  But never at home.  Actually, at home, I don’t put anything on my fries.

The restaurant in Fredericksburg is deceptively large.  You walk in and there’s some tables and large….and I mean LARGE bar.  But just past that  back wall is another room full of booths and tables, then there’s another room that has a couple of couches, a table and some dart boards.  There’s plenty of places to sit, that’s for sure.

This is one of the ciders I was drinking.  It’s sitting on the ice well that runs the length of the bar.  It is a bit smelly, but a neat idea.  It’s like an rice rink for your glass.  It keeps everything ice cold and if you’re not careful, will stick to it or slide around on it.  No, you don’t have to keep it on there.  You can put it on the bar.  I’ve never seen one in a bar before and we were impressed with it.  Even though it was a bit odorous.

All in all, S and I had a good time at Capital Ale House in Fredericksburg.  The food was delicious, the selection was GINORMOUS for any place we’ve been to, and the service was very helpful and friendly.  I’m sure we’d opt to eat at one of their other locations should be stumble on one again.

About an hour later, it looked like this.

Lunch wasn’t McD’s, thankfully. I put my foot down. It’s screwed up our stomachs, or at least a few of our stomachs. I wanted something else. So, we had pizza. It was good. I ordered a salad with a mushroom pizza. The pizza isn’t heavily sauced, which I like. It’s light, and crispy, and has more than just mozzarella on it, I think. I think there’s cheddar or something like that on it. The pie was perfect and not heavy like our pizza is.

We flew through work, again. D offered to usher us around the city and take us to a wine and cheese shop for some more rakja. I bought a bottle a white Bosnian wine. It came highly recommended. I just hope it makes it across the pond. I’ve packed it with some towels that I *coughBORROEDcough* from the hotel. I also bought some Belgian chocolate to nibble on while I’m at work. I have this thing about nibbling something sweet after lunch. Usually chocolate, or a pastry bar of some description, but something. So, I bought some EXCELLENT chocolate. I tossed the box, so I have no idea what kind it was. LOL

Then, D insisted we have Ćevapi; the national dish of BiH. It’s finger shaped ground meat that’s grilled and served with pita and onions. Wow. HEAVY! This is not something you eat and then run a marathon. This is something you eat and then immediate take a nap. It’s heavy. Delicious, but heavy.

I told S it was like hamburger shaped sausages that were YUMMY! It’s also served with the yogurt drink and you can ask for sour cream which wasn’t sour cream like we know it. It was the consistency of butter that was just interesting. I can’t really explain it.

The restaurant was apparently THE place in town to get this yummy treat. We waited about 5 minutes for a table. It was PACKED! The beef was tasty and juicy. The pita was FABULOUS! It was crisp and tasty and perfect for the beef fingers. If you’re in Sarajevo, found this gem of a restaurant and treat yourself to the best cevapi in town.

After that, it was almost REQUIRED that we walk around the old part of town and through the market. There’s TONS of Turkish coffee sets. Lots of brass and maybe silver? Or at least steel? *shrugs*

Then there’s the mall part that’s like a Turkish bazaar. We all ogled over the pashminas in all different colors. I got sucked in and purchased 4. They were cheap. Really cheap. I was in awe of the woman sitting there making lace. Like, MAKING lace with spools of thread spread out on a table. It was just fabulous to see. I asked if I could take this photo, thank you very much!

Sadly, G wasn’t feeling well, so we would have to wander the market another day. We walk back to the car, and part ways. I wasn’t really up to having dessert and drinks again tonight. I need down time before I go to sleep. I can’t walk in the door at 10 and then go right to sleep. It takes me at least an hour.

I spread out my purchases of the day on the counter for you to envy. Aren’t they so colorful and pretty? I can’t wait to open them up and use them when I get home.

While I was trying to get my down time in, I came across this on the television. I had NO idea that this was a serious sport. Is this next at the Olympics? *shrugs*

I splurge at
breakfast this morning and get a croissant.
I slather it with the hazelnut cream from the breakfast “buffet.”  They were milk chocolate.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen milk chocolate
croissants… ever.  Not that that’s bad,
but it’s just…different.  They look
better than they are on the inside.  The
flakiness and layers losses something in translation when you open it up.

It was a
quick day today, actually.  For some
reason, I didn’t photograph lunch.  We
had 4 types of pie.  I talked about pie
in the first post .  There was beef
pie, cheese pie, potato pie, and spinach pie.
I liked the potato and the spinach.
I didn’t try the cheese.  The meat
was really heavy.  I can’t imagine how
the Bosnian people aren’t all clogged up.
I’m sorry if it’s TMI but seriously!
I drank two containers of the yogurt in hopes of the probitocis doing
their magic.  GAH!

Okay.

Since this
is a food blog, and I can’t REALLY tell you what I’m doing, I’ll just say, it
was a productive day.  We all piled into
cabs and headed to Noovi.  If you’re in
Bosnia, you HAVE HAVE HAVE to eat at Noovi.
It’s across from the British Embassy.
Apparently that’s important when you’re telling a driver who’s never been
there before where to go and you don’t really speak either of the three
languages spoken here.

We have a
nice white wine.  It was oak aged Žilavka by Gentille Vinarija,
which is a grape found primarily in the Herzegovina region.  It was a delicious white wine; very similar
to a white burgundy.  *shrugs*

They bring
us a basket of what they called foccacia, but it was like thin crust pizza
topped with herbs and cheese and baked.
It was the same dough they use for their pizza crust.

I ordered chicken and mushroom rotini.  WOW.  I
actually thought I ordered the mushroom pasta, but they confused me and thought
I was ordering what H was ordering.  It’s
okay.  There wasn’t TONS of chicken in
the dish.  There were tasty mushrooms,
some tender chicken and this light, yet creamy sauce.  It was far from a heavy cream sauce pasta
like we would have received in the States.
Amazing food!  It has so much
fresh flavor!  And it was so
inexpensive!  Why can’t we get this
quality at this price back home?
Seriously?   Simple and
fresh.

The next
round, I asked for the quince.  Now, that
one came in a little bottle.  Now, that
one, holy alcohol!  It’s like quince
flavored everclear!  Man did it
burn.  I can see why A warned us about
this stuff.  If all we had were the
bottles, I probably wouldn’t have even considered purchasing any.  Thankfully, I wasn’t ruined by the second
rakja and was able to taste the cherry.  I
can’t wait to get home and crack that bottle open and share it with S and the
rest of the fam.

We trudge through more paperwork.  We are FLYING at this rate!  We’ve made more headway on this project than
any of us could have even begun to imagine.
It’s so different than previous trips.
Granted, we’re only working with one section and not both.  This program doesn’t coordinate with the
other section.  They will now, but they haven’t
in the past.  They are separate entities
in the embassy, unlike Bogota.

And more talking ensues.  I begin to realize that part of the reason I
can’t get to sleep is there is no down time.
We go from breakfast to work to lunch to hotel to dinner without
stopping.  I need down time.  I need to de-stress, relax, blog to shut my
mind off and calm down enough to sleep.
And I miss my new hubby.  *pout*

The post McD’s again, Veggie Risotto and Hurmašice appeared first on Bring Gourmet to your Every Day - A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures.

There’s coffee and tea, three kinds of cereal, dinner
rolls, baklava, at least one other dessert and croissants.  There’s bowls full of butter, honey, cheese
spread like those cheese wedges, some sort of chicken and duck pate in a tin,
and a hazelnut spread that I think beats Nutella hands down!  No questions asked.  Yes, I’m stealing packets of that.  It’s that good.

And it’s off to the office.  Not at the Embassy, though.  This program rarely if ever has an office IN
the embassy.  It’s just the type of work
they do.  So the research, assessment,
and interviews commence.  We are doing an
internal audit after recent events.

More work ensues.
We are making some serious headway in the research department.  We have lots of assessment and
recommendations completed already.  And
now it’s time to head back to the hotel and then dinner.  The four of us are pretty tired, so we opt
for dinner in the hotel restaurant.

The post McD’s in Bosnia, Zeljanica, Sirnica, Krempita, and Shopska appeared first on Bring Gourmet to your Every Day - A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures.

Friday we plan on heading out to get some breakfast, elsewhere, and then head to some wineries in the area. Head to Waynesboro. If you go there and decide to do what we did, head to Waynesboro. There really isn’t ANY place to eat breakfast close by the resort. We drove all over God’s green Earth and wound up eating McD’s at Lovettsville, I think it was. It was a very frustrating morning.

We were lost. There was no signal. We couldn’t find ANYWHERE to get food. Just…do yourself a favor and head to Waynesboro. I think the most frustrating part for S was that there really isn’t a concierge type person at the desk. We just didn’t get answers from people there that were satisfactory.

Anyway.

Go to Wayesboro.

After breakfast, we headed to Afton Mountain Vineyards. We did a tasting there. They have some nice wines. They’re mostly new, which is okay. They were good tasting for new wines. We tasted the Petit Verdot, the Cab Franc, the Festa di bucco? and the cab sauv in reds. They were all good. I think I liked the cab franc the best. For whites, we tried the gewertz, steel chard, and estate reserve. I think we got the steel chard or the gewertz. I can’t remember and I’ll have to check. We also tried the mountain rose. It was rather nice for a rose. They’ve come a long way in the wine world and aren’t the cliché, box type wine I think of when I hear rose.

We drove to the Wintergreen Winery next. We tried all their reds and white and the raspberry wine. They were okay. Nothing to write home about. Their selection wasn’t bad for the price, I guess. They were just okay. Not, OMG we have to buy this right now type of wines. At least, that’s what we thought.

Then it was on to lunch, which was Devil’s Backbone Brewery. They have a cool logo! See what I mean? We sat down and order a couple of Gold Leaf Lagers. They were pretty good pilsners. I get so tired of all local brews of craft brews being more IPA style or heavier. There’s just not much in the way of craft or micro brews that are pilsner type beers.

Maybe it’s just those around us aren’t really pilsner style beers. *shrugs*

They had a yummy looking menu! I had the fish and chips and S had a sandwich. I think it was the Bone Dipper. It was yummy!! Mine was yummy! The fish was perfectly crisp and tasty. It wasn’t overcooked and dry. The batter was crispy and not greasy. They were fingers of fish heaven! S’s Sammy had tender beef with bacon and yummy cheese. The mayo was really tasty, too. They forgot my fries, so they brought us a whole bowl of them. Yum! I marinated some of mine in cider vinegar. Mmmmm.

We also hit some antique stores along the way. Dad does antique glass and S has gotten into the hunt for the deal. He actually found quite a few good deals. One of them was a small Heisey bowl for $3. It’ll sell for probably $15 or $20 depending. Heisey is VERY collectible and VERY pretty glass. We bought some of our pattern to collect, too. It’s pretty easy to find most pieces. There are a few harder pieces that I’ll sure will take some looking. I think we wound up with 3 or 4 bags of glassware. Some for Dad and some for us. It’s always fun to find good deals.

Then it was back to the room for…A NAP! We napped a lot while we were there. It was good napping. I think we both needed the rest. That’s for sure. But first, we stopped at The Market for some sammies and some chips to nibble on for dinner. They make some pretty good sandwiches at the market. It’s all Boars Head meats and cheese. The breads are good. The selection is decent and interesting. We ordered two Whiteouts to go. Of course, we got some popcorn. We can’t live without popcorn, I think. It’s our nibble of choice usually. Sometimes it’s chips, but mostly it’s popcorn.

We lounged and watched TV, played on our phones, just relaxed. I know we both needed that!

Saturday we hit the spa! Actually, we went to breakfast, showered, then hit the spa. It was our pamper day.  We got massages and then pedicures.  Yes.  S got a pedi.  It was nice and relaxing.  There’s a theme for this trip; relaxing.

Then we hit the market again for some Cliffhangers without the apple.  I really didn’t want the apple on the sammy.  More chips, some cake, some packing, and back home to pick up the Missy girl!

So, that’s our story and I’m sticking to it.  If you head to Wintergreen Resort, have the calamari at the Edge.  The food for dinner was excellent at the two restaurants we went to, and the sammies are good from The Market.  Now, things may be different when their in full winter season.

Pancakes for me and eggs and biscuits for him.  I have to say, the biscuits and gravy were
interesting.  I mean, I’ve never had
sausage gravy and biscuits that had a serious taste of butter to it.  Like serious butter flavor.  The biscuits were frozen I’m sure but they
wouldn’t have been too bad were they cooked all the way through.  They were just a bit pasty.

Okay so breakfast isn’t their strong suit.  Got it.

S drops me off and heads to the golf store in search of a belt.  Yes, he forgot a belt.  No, I didn’t have that on my list for some
reason.  Just plain didn’t think about it.

I check in and sit in the “lounge” waiting for the person to come get me.
I had two images in my Pinterest that I
wanted to use for my hair.  There was
this one and this one.
Yeah.  That was a disaster.  I don’t know what part of front like this and back like this she didn’t seem to understand,
but it didn’t look anything like that.  I
didn’t take any pictures of the back, but I could feel that she made these
rosettes in the back of my head, three of them.
That’s so NOT what I wanted.
Thank goodness I had the veil to cover that part up.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

My hair is like cotton candy.  I
tell everyone that I could have the beginning of dreadlocks in about a
week.  It’s true.  It just mats together easily and in no time
at all.  So what does she do?  She rubs this product in my hair, essentially
matting it together, then takes a fine toothed comb and starts yanking my hair
straight from the root.  Yeah.  That’s SO not the way to comb my hair.  I usually use a wide toothed comb to do that,
THEN a fine toothed comb.  There’s less
damage to my hair and the knots come out easier.

Once it’s all combed out and wads of hair are on the floor, she used a
curling iron to curl my hair.  I thought
for sure rollers would be the easiest and best way to go, but nope.  Curling iron.
And burns my head and pulls out more hair in the process.  All the while I’m sitting there thinking,
beauty has its price.  It better be
beautiful.

When all is curled, she commences with the teasing for height.  “What height?” you’re asking?  Yeah.
I don’t see it in the pictures either.
So, more pointless torture.  The
way she pinned it in the back, she pretty much flatten it all out again.  There was no height and it was lopsided.  Lopsided.
And now it’s an hour already.  We’re
supposed to meet the officiant at 12:45 in the lobby, it’s 11 and I’m not even
dressed yet.  AND she’s not even
finished!

Now I’m just thinking, “Please just finish so I can go.”  I don’t have the luxury to tell her she’s
screwed it up and it’s lopsided.  AND I
have these wads of hair in the back of my head.
The words, “I’m not so concerned with the way the back looks at the top,
this just shows how I want it to be curly in the back” did come out of my mouth
and was promptly ignored.  She obviously
felt my hair needed these things and put them there.

FINALLY she hoses me down with hair spray.  I felt like I was in an 80s movie at this
point with all the aerosol spray shellacking my head.  S shows up to take me back to the room so we
can get dressed.  You have NO idea how
happy I was to see him rescue me from this mess.

We quickly dress, I put on my make up.
We take pictures and head down to the lobby to wait.  And wait.
And wait a little more.  I was nervous,
antsy, something.  Standing still wasn’t
my strong suit.    I put on his boutonniere
and stand there some more.
