Of course we had to go out for the official
We Made it to Forty dinner while on our Geezermoon in Branson! Because I had been there before with my sis and the experience was so good, the restaurant at the College of the Ozarks ("Hard Work U") was the obvious choice. Students grow the food, make the food and serve the food.
And the setting of the campus is charming with the restaurant housed in a lovely lodge with rockers on the porch.
It was just perfect in ambiance and cuisine!
Starting off our meal with apple butter on fresh bread would have been satisfying enough on its own, but then the food we ordered came and it was out-of-this-world delicious!
Pot roast with veggies for him.
Bow tie pasta with steak and blue cheese for her.
When the reservations were made, we were asked if it was a special occasion for us, and this was delivered to our table as a dessert:
And it came with another dessert which we gobbled up so fast there wasn't the possibility of photographing it! It was a decadent chocolate cobbler that was actually a lot like a molten lava cake. In a word we were stuffed, meaning it was imperative to walk it off a bit before returning to our car.
Plus an old one-room schoolhouse with a docent inside.
It was a great introduction to another one of our trip highlights which will be covered next on this blog - an author's home in Mansfield, Missouri. Clue: she was a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse herself and there was a tv show Michael Landon produced about this teacher and her family's trials as pioneers.
Food, views and history = winning combination.
