On to Bowling Green

I continued my days of driving past corn

and soy

and soy and corn.

Every now and then, I came across what I imagined might be a wheat field that has already been harvested.

I am still trying to find out what these things are. I imagine they might have something to do with the electrical grid, but I don’t know what. Maybe someone will tell me one of these days – or I will find the right person to ask.

This day’s circling landed me in Bowling Green.

This photo I saved from Facebook seemed appropriate for this post, even if it was referring to Bowling Green, Kentucky.

I didn’t have much time to explore Bowling Green. If you would like to know more, here’s link to my Preferred Source. I took a glance at the site, and here are three things that stood out to me:

  1. Bowling Green State University is located there.
  2. It is located 20 miles southwest of Toledo and is part of the Toledo Metropolitan Area.
  3. Scott Hamilton was born there in 1960.

Hey, we’re all getting older. He’s still awfully cute.

I checked into the hotel and headed out to find dinner. What a dinner I found! I parked down in the central business district and strolled about. I came across Naslada Bistro.

The exterior wasn’t impressive, but it said that it had Bulgarian cuisine. That would be a first for me. I thought I give it a try. After all, if I wasn’t wild about it, another meal would be coming along in the morning.

The dining room was comfortable, though. I am a sucker for real cloth napery. I took my seat and decided on my dinner. I decided to order appetizers for dinner.

I started with the Shopska Salad.


The top view didn’t do it justice. I had to try for a side view. It was beautiful and tasty, too.

Another dish they had was Seasoned Feta on the Grill. I like feta, but mostly I was curious about how they could grill cheese.

The answer was served to me. They wrap the feta up in a paper before putting it on the grill.

This isn’t a dish you could get at Denny’s!

I think I did a pretty good job. Since I joined the Clean Plate Club, I decided that I could order dessert.

Doesn’t that look lovely? It was some sort of espresso ice concoction. I thought I would like it, but unfortunately, it was a little less sweet than I had hoped it would be.

I asked for the check, and they blew me away with the presentation.

Have you ever thought about how many hands touch those plastic folders that bills are frequently presented in? Not only was this attractive, it was sanitary!

They even included a business card!

If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend dining at Naslada Bistro!

With that, I made my way back to the hotel to get rested up for another day of driving in circles.

I made sure to pack up my COMPLEMENTARY GUEST TOWEL. Those people at Best Western sure are hospitable.
