Oscar Pryor Wiener


Sorry for the poor pictures in the last post, I am new to the whole blogging Thing and how all of this works. We had a "tasting" last night at the "Life is Good" store that seemed to go well. Everything was gobbled up and some came back again and again. The new Grand Canyon board game also premiered with great success and it seemed to sell like hotcakes. This was all followed up with a visit to the Wine Loft for pizza and Gena and Franks wise choices on Belgium Trippels.

On a different note, I just received word that Oscar Pryor Wiener, the award winning wiener dog outta Eureka Springs, Ar has been enjoying some Champs Oatmeal Chompers. You can see more of him at: http://www.papermoonattractions.com/oscar
And here he is helping himself to some seconds! The athlete needs to feed his muscles.

Soon as I can cook up another batch of treats, they will be on the Shelves of Macy's Euro Coffee House.

Honeymoon in Turkey


Roxanna and I went on our "official" honeymoon at the end of May and ran into early June. We had a very exciting trip to Antalya, Turkey where we did a lot of rock climbing, eating, snorkeling, and general sightseeing. One of the highlights were the Alabalik (Trout) Restaurants that seemed be be popular along the Mountain streams of the Taurus Mountains. These lush eateries are situated right in the stream and raise their trout on premise. The trout are simply grilled or roasted in a terra cotta bowl in a great stone oven. Everything (at this time of year) comes with tomatoes, seasonal veggies, and a choice of salads (we always had the walnuts and taziki). There is also the ever present loaf of bread that seemed to be endless.



This is the Butcher where we went for Fanta and Goat Chops.

Here you can see that I ran out of English reading material and took inspiration from the Greek and Roman Sculpture present in the region.
