Waiting | Pad Patter 3.15

i think the seasonal waiting makes things like your frozen custard more special - i'm annoyed that hot cross buns (that used to be an easter only food not so many years back) are basically sold year round here now and they start to ramp up production as soon as they start discounting xmas decorations

 

When we lived in Michigan, it was such a huge deal when The Dairy Queen opened! It was only seasonal and everybody waited for it each spring! It was always packed when it was open.

 

STRAWBERRIES!!!!

The local farms should have them ready in the next two weeks!

 

Something definitely not food related.... my husband especially and me to a certain extent look forward to the the AFL season starting this week. This is Australian Football League. We still barrack for a team back in the state we moved from in 2013 - Brisbane Lions.

 

We have a local cheeseburger joint that is closed Nov-Mar, so March 1st is always eagerly awaited when they re-open again. They have the best yummy burgers!

 

We are down the shore a lot, so there are a bunch of things that are seasonal that I always look forward to opening. A fantastic taco joint. The Kohr's ice cream places, or basically the whole boardwalk, lol! Some arcades and restaurants are open year round, but there are certain ones that I can't wait for them to open!

 

I am happy that many of the local restaurants in town are embracing the take out option available to them during this time of not knowing. From what I am hearing, even though it just started today, they are still seeing great numbers of lunch time business.

 

I've been waiting for Spring weather...I always do every winter. It seems to finally be here. Yay!!!

 

Peaches! not a spring fruit but my favorite. Rita's Ice is about the only thing seasonal round here and while dh likes ices I don't so... When it gets warm, hot, I'll switch to homemade iced coffee.

 

Cedar Point Amusement Park. . . if it is allow to open.

 

I'm looking forward to our annual trip to Ocean City, MD ... Trasher's French Fries, Grotto Pizza, Dolle's salt water taffy, funnel cake, riding the carousel at Trimper's Rides (my mom LOVED the carousel), and just walking on the boardwalk enjoying the sights and sounds.

 

OHhhh!!!! How I wish we could go! We honeymooned there ages ago!!

 

My family got a Gold Pass to commemorate their 150th year. Opening day isn't until May plus my daughter has physics day there with school. Not sure if it will open in May or even if school will resume for this year. Good luck to you with Carowinds.

 

How fun and romantic! We might just have to take our vacation only there this year if it opens.

 

Cedar Point was an annual event for me as a kid. Grandfather built a cottage at Marblehead. I still love the smell of the lake while crossing the bridge.
