After Superbob was born--he was hungry!

Superbob in his original habitat



Superbob was born in Metropolis, Illinois, but  we were far from Sweet Home Alabama. Bob had visited Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky years ago, so he wanted me to see it. He's the driver, of course, so off we went.

bGrand Rivers is a tiny town with a great big American cheese farm called Patti's 1880s Settlement and Restaurant. The restaurant has good food and interesting décor, with wait staff dressed in 1880s apparel and hot bread baked in clay flower pots, served with breath-takingly delicious strawberry butter.




I must say more about the strawberry butter and flower-pot bread. Imagine the best strawberry ice cream you have ever had. Now imagine it at room temperature with the wonderful mouth-feel of butter. Spread it on warm bread. Yep. That's it.

In the absolute middle of nowhere as far as we could tell, Patti's Settlement has a garden with children's activities, decorations, a putt-putt course, and no telling what else. It would seem that the whole population of the town must work for Patti.

This trip was about six years ago, so some of my details may be fuzzy, but if I recall correctly, this was our first meal after the birth of Superbob. A final note: Patti's is 494 miles from our house. We liked it so much, we visited again just to eat. Well, we have family in Ohio, but Patti's is a bit out of the way to their house. I have developed a strawberry butter recipe of my own since our first visit. It is fabulous; however, Patti's is better. 


Bob LOVES pie!
