Mrs. Teabody Takes a Big Bite at Guy Fieri's Baltimore Horseshoe


Salad Italian
French Dip
Hello, December!
Last week found Mrs. Teabody  and Company back at the fabulous new and smoke-free Baltimore Horseshoe Gambling Emporium. Even the most critical of the gaming industry can find lots to love  about Horseshoe and among those are a number of restaurants including Guy Fieri's Baltimore Kitchen and Bar where Mrs. Teabody and Company dined just one week ago.
Just like Johnny Sanchez, GFBKB has nothing cosy about it, but what it lacks in warm and inviting it more than makes up for in portion size and yummy flavors.
Mrs. Teabody and her sister decided wisely to share the Salad Italianne as a starter and quickly realized they were no match for this delicious mound of antipasti barely confined within a generous wrapping of prosciutto.  Bits of hard salami and Cheerio-sized mozzarella along with pepperocini and anchovy kept the salad full of flavor and texture. It was also VERY FILLING so when the server arrived bearing the mountain of food that is the French Dip, Mrs. Teabody nearly threw in the towel/napkin. Mon Dieu!
The lightly toasted torpedo roll alone could feed a family of five and the stack of steak with horseradish garnish and smoky chipotle onion threads proved a winning bite indeed. Mrs. Teabody had to pick at it because it defied any direct approach to one's mouth. The little trough of three kinds of fries proved far more manageable (and delicious). Mrs. Teabody's sister made it through roughly one fifth of her repast and Lady Vi managed to scratch the surface of her (superb!) crabcake. Needless to say, most of the main course was relegated to go boxes along with a piece of cheesecake which later actually did provide dessert for a family of four.
Everything was delicious and all around were other diners enjoying their impressive-looking and tasty food. Mrs. Teabody watched a gentleman polish off his plate of ribs in its entirety and she almost burst into applause. This is a place that serves HUGE portions so come prepared. And hungry.
Service was absolutely adequate and the dining pace was leisurely. For the amount of food served, the price is nothing to complain about. Highly recommend for fun, delicious and filling food!

Mrs. Teabody Reflects on Hallowe'en and Asks Forbearance for Rushing the Seasons

Image
Yesterday morning I woke to pouring rain and chose for my morning walk a turtleneck, jeans, and an insulated vest, along with scarf, hat and gloves. By one o'clock I was in short sleeves and Mr. Teabody was "catching some rays" inside the secret garden. Crazy October and as we slide into its finale of Hallowe'en, I can't help recalling a day inside my classroom with an administrator and the topic of devil worship. Like most female teachers, I paid homage to the seasons and holidays by way of door decorations and bulletin boards and as this was in the days just prior to political correctness, angels and the Christ child showed up for a few weeks before Christmas with the same regularity as colorful baskets of eggs and bunnies alongside a glowing cross for a few weeks before Easter. And what teacher (like myself) was going to let Hallowe'en go by with all its cool imagery and not take advantage of the chance to decorate? I had the gamut of images bought a

Mrs. Teabody Reflects on a Trip and Kindness

Image
I am wide awake looking at the moon and stars in the June sky through a window while I am lying in a comfortable bed inside a rental house in Penzance, Cornwall, England. I can count on one hand the times in my life I have been able to see a starry starry sky as sleep finds me. It's a doozy. I want to tell you about our first day here--Saturday-- before I lose the feeling.  Saturday morning started in tension: My three companions pictured above at Saint Michael's Mound had to make the 7:00 A.M. train from London  Paddington-- all four of us with all our luggage -- and we also had to meet up with two other friends inside huge Paddington Station because I had their tickets. All that went off without a hitch and the six of us managed to get on the train  in our assigned seats, our many pieces of luggage stowed on the main rack at the end of the car.  So far so good.  Great Western Rail have a scheme on weekends where you can upgrade to first class for twenty-

Mrs. Teabody Celebrates Her Father

Image
Back row: Richard Henry, Reed Henry, Pete Henry, Raymond Henry Front row: John Henry, Sally Henry, Wendell Henry Tomorrow is Father's Day. My father passed in May of 2006 so quite a few June Sundays dedicated to honoring fathers have passed without someone on the receiving end of a funny card, a poke of RedMan, a singing bass to hang on the wall and my life is poorer for it. I grew up in a home with three brothers and three sisters, a stay-at-home mom, a work away father, and I have always known what it means to be born a Henry but it is only in my very late years that I have come to fully appreciate the great gift of my heritage. Pictured above are some of the biggest influences on my early life. This photograph was taken in 1966 at a Henry gathering in Clear Ridge, less than a mile from where the folks in the photograph grew up--the five handsome and witty uncles, the beautiful and vivacious aunt and all of them so very happy in each other's company. With them came the
