# 4 The Milk and Honey Grill- Goshen, CT

 As our cleaning lady came this morning, Sunny and I decided to go to The Milk and Honey Grill in nearby Goshen for breakfast. The Grill is typical of breakfast/ lunch diners you find throughout New England - cozy, one menu, open 6 AM - 1 PM with mostly local customers. The menu offers lots of options with a few daily specials.  Sunny had a beautiful, fluffy omelette with fruit on the side, while I decided to go big with a real New England favorite, eggs and hash that come with home fries and toast. I also ordered a large blueberry pancake which you can get with real local maple syrup. I should have asked how big the big pancake is as it is very big. You are probably thinking that is a lot of food, but hash and blueberry pancakes are two of my favorites breakfast dishes, so in order to support my blog, I ordered both, and finished everything with the exception of the toast. The only weak spot was the coffee -  much harsher than Dunkin,  but all of these diners serve the same coffee- no lattes or cappuccinos. 

Everything was delicious  service was great, and our visit was quite enjoyable. So if you are in Goshen and looking for a traditional New England breakfast, stop by the Milk and Honey Grill.

Interesting note - if you want  something to do after you eat, across the street is a goat farm which allows you to go into  the pasture and  pat and feed the animals. If you do go, be sure to tuck in all of your clothes as the goats will start chewing on any loose clothing.

#1 Heading North to the Nutmeg State

Sunny and I are heading to Litchfield, CT, for the summer and plan to review  for our readers various nuggets we find during our travels. We will be visiting cafes, restaurants, farmer markets, state parks, etc. throughout the “ Nutmeg State” and will  let you know what  we thought of our visit. Litchfield is a quintessential  small New England town in the northwest corner of Connecticut with a town green, white steepled churches, and many high end farm to table restaurants. The rich soil produces some of the best vegetables you will ever find ( especially the corn and tomatoes) and farm stands along the country roads allow you to shop daily for items literally picked that morning.  Given that we will be there for the summer, we don’t anticipate posting a nugget each day, but be sure to check regularly to see what we have found. We look forward to having you read our reviews. Enjoy and welcome aboard.  Interesting Note : Connecticut is called  the “ Nu...

#2 Sunny Finally Gets To Meet Luke

Image
  Yesterday we took a ride to Weston, CT to visit with Jack, Lauren, Jocelyn, and our  new grandson Luke Jackson, who was born in February. While I met Luke when I visited in March, Sunny hadn’t seen him yet, so it was quite exciting for the two to finally meet. It is amazing how much Luke has grown since I had seen him. He is a very happy baby and is very observant of things going on around him. Jocelyn is also doing an excellent job of looking after her baby brother.  We also  belatedly celebrated Sunny’s birthday. In mid May, we  celebrated Sunny’s actual birthday in Texas with Matt, Sarah, and Emmy, and then  we repeat the process when she gets to CT. Even if Sunny had been in CT on her birthday, we probably would have delayed the celebration as her birthday is one day after Jocelyn’s and two celebrations in two days is  a bit too much.  Lastly, Jocelyn and I spent some time in the garden picking some weeds and planning out this year’s crops w...

#3 Litchfield Hills Road Race

Image
  Today was the 48th running of the Litchfield Hills Road Race. This 7 mile run, which begins and ends in “downtown” Litchfield, attracts close to 1000 runners from around New England/New York with some of the previous winners being  Bill Rogers, who won Boston four times, and Joan Benoit, who won the first women’s marathon at the 1984 Olympics. In addition to the main race,  there are short runs for young children, and a 1 mile run and 2.3 mile run for older children. Thousands of people from around the area  come early to line the streets, set up tables and chairs on the village green and enjoy the race with family and friends. There are some quite elaborate buffets and coolers full of wine and beer amongst the crowd.  As was the case for the past three years, I volunteered to be a “crossing guard” in town. Given the race begins and ends in town, you have keep people from crossing the streets when runners are approaching. It is a lot of fun and great way to me...
