Well, the road trip went pretty well, but the culinary part was difficult. There was just not enough time or appetite in these last few days. So — what do you do when you don’t feel like visiting too many restaurants? You enjoy the ones you do go to. Like “Sweet Basil” on Third Street in Marquette, a little city on the shores of Lake Superior.
It was a sunny, pretty day, and the outside of this little place looked charming and cozy. Inside, there was a very full menu board:I only caught part of it with my camera. Imagine writing out that whole thing every day!! I asked; and, no, they do not serve the same thing every day. It just depends on what they feel like cooking. It was easier to look at the food than to read about the food.
I zeroed in on the quiche for a meal later.And some soup and some basil lemonade for the present time. Lemonade with basil in it. What else? I am in the “Sweet Basil.”The basil lemonade was very good – couldn’t taste much basil, which might be a good thing, but the whole drink had a refreshing quality to it. The vegetable beef soup was certainly homemade with thick chunks of beef and vegetables. Almost like I make at home.
As I sat there eating and reading and eating, writing, reading, and eating . . .. I looked down at the floor. Hmmmm. Old wooden floors. A charming touch, maybe. Or maybe just an old building. I looked beyond the counter and into the kitchen. Wooden floors. Really well-used wooden floors. But I didn’t mind. It may not be squeaky clean back there, but that’s because they were busy cooking up really good food in not much space. I took that as a good sign.
