Rose's Fine Food. We spent enough time at Pewabic that we were ready to have some late lunch. But not too much lunch.
Two cousins, both Rose's granddaughters, started Rose's Fine Food.
There wasn't enough room at a table, so we sat at the counter (the counter seats have backs, so that was fine). It turned out the counter seats are the best seats in the house, if you are curious about how your food is made. They left our menus within reach. We watched them make dish after dish, and kept consulting the menu to see what those various choices might be. All of them looked good.
We ordered four sides. Greens, grits, potatoes, and parsnip soup. All of these were very good, and the greens were REALLY good. Mmm, mmm, mmm.
This was the perfect amount of food. Not too much, not too challenging, on top of pie a couple of hours earlier.
Then we went to Bon Bon Bon, which makes exceedingly intricate and delicious chocolates.
When I told them how much I liked the wall, I was told there had been a fire, and they just sealed the wall and kept the distressed look.
Bon Bon Bon -- everything very thoughtfully and carefully done, but not ritzy.
This was my choice. (Description follows.)
This is the one I picked for my better half, who was off playing bridge and missed this whole expedition.
Zingerman's deli often has Bon Bon Bon chocolates. This is the sort of thing I think of seeing at the Deli -- these really fancily decorated ones.
Fancy old cash register.
We didn't actually eat these the same day. We saved them and ate them a couple of days later.
Very intricate and thoughtful package design. I think you could mail these and they would come to no harm. Not ritzy, but doing the get-it-there-in-one-piece job thoroughly, in an un-fancy way.
They were yummy. I liked my coffee one best.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
What a great expedition. That was a good day, right there!
