My New Years resolution was/is to fix my income, such a new concept, at least for me. I am now open to all the Groupons and anything that will supply me with a cheap coupon or suggestion to a restaurant that I might want to visit.
This new concept took me to Sea Change for their a 3 course meal for $30.00. I read about this in the Star and had to reach for my specs to make sure I read everything correctly, and I did. Now of course the next thing was to find somebody to go with. As luck should have it was the month of January and I am supposed to get together with some former co-workers,could it get any better. My plan is starting to take on a mind of its own. Thursday night we met at Sea Change, needless to say it is always good to see people that you enjoy and for whatever reason do not get to see that much.
The restaurant is beautiful and not noisy, so it is easy to hold and hear the conversation at your table. The menu for $30.00 was more interesting than I expected, that I found no need to look at the main menu. The selection was easy… I started with the pork buns on to the bouillabaisse and then the most delicious dessert that I have had recently,the pumpkin cheesecake. If I could have had all 3 courses of just pumpkin cheesecake, I could die happy. Oh,and yes to have one of their very delicious lemon drops with each course, words could not describe the ecstasy.
It is so sad that this fantastic deal is only going through the end of the month. I have always wanted to eat in the restaurant proper, now I can understand the rave reviews that it gets. I can only hope that maybe this promo was such a success that they might do it again…one can only hope! With or without a promo it is a most do on my list.
Well until I find the next bargain or coupon I say for now…Ta Ta

Breakfast at Burger Jones…Something New
How great is it to start a snowy Saturday morning at an old stand-by that is now starting to serve breakfast...pretty darn fantastic to me! Yes, Burger Jones is now doing breakfast and a pretty good one at that. The menu is small but covers all the basics and the prices are not bad. The best part is, it is not crowded, I don’t think the word is out yet, but I am here to spread the good news.
So, to try the best meal of the day I descend upon this fine establishment with 2 friends, starving for the treats that lay ahead. Since this excursion was a bit early I had to forgo the Bloody Mary (darn). We all decided to do the Farmers Breakfast which includes eggs any style, sausage and bacon, hash browns and best of all Mrs. Butterworth pancakes (all you can eat). Let me say I was the happy little camper when I heard about the pancakes. As the waiter brought all the dishes the table started to get very crowded but as we helped ourselves room was made and the feasting began.
Funny little side bar almost embarrassing…since the pancakes were all you can eat I took the waiter at his word. I didn’t really care about the rest of the breakfast, not that I didn’t eat it but I am in love with pancakes. I guess I was not the only one, since the plate was cleaned in minutes. So I asked the waiter for another platter. The waiter stood in front of our table, said you would like one…well yes another platter of pancakes…to which he replied…that has never happened before. It is quite funny to see a waiter try to take his foot out of mouth (all in jest). One pancake could really be shared by 2 people but what the heck. Please don’t take this the wrong way the waiter was terrific, attentive,funny and informative.
I will wrap this up by saying it was a good time with good conversation and good food. For a good filling artery clogging breakfast it is a must try,I promise you will not eat for the rest of the day or maybe the weekend for that matter.
Per our waiter there is going to be a new Burger Jones opening soon in Burnsville…not exactly sure where Burnsville is but Burger Jones does.
