Father's Day Dinner a Week Later. Scallop Stuffed Baked Haddock at The Retreat with Alyssa (via Chitunga Who Is Elsewhere)

I don't think I've ever had a bad meal at The Retreat. I never ate there growing up, but had friends who worked at the restaurant in Liverpool. It's been a nice go-to location on visits back to Central New York. Chitunga sent Alyssa money to take me out for Father's Day so that is where we chose to go.

It was a hot one. I literally felt the humidity arrive about 30 minutes into our morning walk. Not sure I'll walk Karal again until this heat subsides. It's heavy. 

I will say I never thought about stuffing scallops into another fish (and I suppose it is gross when I think about it), but it was quite tasty. The rice I could have lived without and the salad was just okay. But the fish won the meal and the fact that we didn't break a sweat although we dined outside with the humidity. 

Thanks to Mike, I also got another night of ice cream. I will say that Plank Road far surpasses The Big Dip, but the Big Dip is such a North Syracuse classic, we had to have it at least once.

Karal's cousin time pooped her out rather hard, as she came back to mom and dad's simply to crash (although Dad thinks her leash create the fact that he couldn't get the garage door down) (I'm finding that one hard to believe, but I went with it). 

Alright...oppressive heat day #2 for today. Let's see what we can make of it. I have two of my writing projects down to the right word count...so that's good news...back at the editing today.
