Pan-toasted chicken & cheese sandwich *Rose Style*

Collie used to make ham & cheese sandwich for himself. Since I warned him that processed meat contains enormous additives that cause cancer, he got to buy slices of chicken breast (or turkey) instead of ham.

I like sandwich made with sliced bread, namely square sandwich bread. Also, I prefer my bread toasted. 

My recent favorite is Dave's Killer Bread😀 It's non GMO and organic! Thin-sliced breads among their products are just for me.

I made my breakfast sandwich with thin-sliced brown bread at Collie's house. It's 'Rose style' to add plenty of vegetables in sandwich. This is pan-toasted chicken & cheese sandwich with extra cabbage. The main ingredient looks like cabbage, though...

Collie didn't want cabbage in sandwich like this😅 So he makes chicken & cheese sandwich as usual. It's OK to cook in a different way, but I want him to have enough vegetables for his health!!!

We are going to leave his house for North Michigan today as he could take days off from his work. Stay tuned dear long time readers, familiar places such as Petoskey, Mackinaw City will appear♪

Charming snack foods I chose at Kroger

This is Kroger Collie often goes to. It has appeared over and over again on this blog.

Kroger is an American retail company throughout the United states. 

A roof shape like this is common among Kroger supermarkets. Isn't it cute? I like this☺

In 1883, a single grocery store was opened in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio by the investment, Barney Kroger's life savings. Kroger Corporate Headquarters is still in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I learned that Kroger has become the largest supermarket chain in the United states. Wow! Kroger got bigger than Walmart or Costco!? I didn't know. Congratulations!

These are snack foods I chose at Kroger. I will take them to Japan. 

Uh✋ peaches are from meijer, yesterday.  I just took a picture of them with Kroger foods for fan😄

Private Selection Slow Roasted Pecans with Sea Salt is a must buy whenever I come to Michigan❤︎ 

It is soooo delicious❤︎

This time's lucky find was Milk Chocolate Pecans❤︎ 

Crunchy pecans and caramel covered in milk chocolate is heavenly❤︎

What is your favorite snack food of the supermarket in your town?  Rose 

The second attempt★ at new WISTLE STOP DINER

We came to WISTLE STOP DINER for lunch again. Though we just came yesterday, I really wanted to try other menu items on this trip💨 

The diner was almost empty when we came in. We were not taken to our seats when we entered, so we chose a table with a good view of the outside. Collie brushed bread crumbs off his seat. Then he was a little surprised to see me also brushing the crumbs off my seat.

A different waitress than yesterday came to our table for taking the order. I ordered one burger from HANDMADE ANGUS STEAK BURGERS section on the menu. In response to her "How would you like your steak?", I answered "Medium rare." I thought "medium" at first, but then I reconsidered and changed it to "medium rare" to avoid overcooking. 

RAILWAY BURGER

Arugula, Tomato, Onion & Mayo

with Home Fries & a Dill Pickle

I love French Fries of WISTLE STOP DINER💕 It's as good as I remembered😊 Today, I ordered coffee☕️ to enjoy with my American meal. Later, I realized no waitress went around refilling coffee anymore, different from the former WISTLE STOP DINER before renovation. It's a shame... Oh well, I guess it's inconvenient for staffs since the diner is now bigger than before. 

While I was eating it, I noticed that the beef patty was undercooked. It was too rare😰 The beef was scorched on the outside and raw in the middle. Collie agreed that it was very rare inside. I see, this is the way how "medium rare" is cooked. But we hesitated to ask, like, "Could you please cook it a bit more?". Besides, the surface of the patty was already charred black💦 A raw meat burger was sad for me who visited Birmingham all the way from Japan after covid-19 pandemic😭 

Collie had just ordered Sweet Potato Fries for himself. He didn't have much appetite. Though my coffee cup got empty, it's hard for me to say "Could I get a refill?". It is all right...since - I'm sorry, but - the coffee was a little insipid.

However, French Fries are great ever! If I have a next chance, I will say "Medium" for my burger.

Collie paid the bill and we approached the exit. I was standing a bit away from him.  Then －

"Have a nice day!!!"

The same waitress as yesterday said so only to Collie friendlily with big smile in a loud voice.

Rose: 😦

I stayed on the sidelines. I seem to be unwelcome here. Is there a third visit sometime, I wonder? I know Collie won't come unless he is with me. 

I want to eat French Fries of WISTLE STOP DINER even just one more time. Also, I hope to try other items. I think I'll ask him to accompany me likewise if I can come here again in the future. Or...

Does anyone know a good French Fries place!?

Thank you all for watching my second visit to new WISTLE STOP DINER, Rose

A little house surrounded by greenery in the northern suburbs of Detroit

I noticed a little house behind. The side mirror showed it to me when I was in the car. It's pretty❤︎

It was a light blue house surrounded by comfortable greenery in the northern suburbs of Detroit.

What is it like inside the house? I know it's not possible to see it actually, though. The residents of the house might not live a sumptuous lifestyle, but I surmise that there is a cuteness and ingenuity that can only be found in a small house. Wouldn't you agree? 

I was just imaging things...😄  We're about to go out for lunch. See you then!   Rose
