This weeks topic for Ten on Tuesday is 10 Favorite Places to Eat. I really like to eat, so this will be easy.

1. Little Mark’s Big Barbecue, Vernon, CT - Best ribs in the area. I love ribs! Yum!

2. Harry’s Drive-in, Colchester, CT - a small road-side stand that has awesome hamburgers and chili dogs. Yum!

3. The Brown Derby, Uncasville, CT - little hole in the wall bar that has fabulous Mexican food. Yum!

4. Dairy Queen, Kensington, CT - A swirl cone with sprinkles, or maybe a vanilla cone with a cherry dip or perhaps a hot fudge sundae. Yum!

5. The Marlborough Tavern, Marlborough, CT  - To die for French onion soup. Yum!

6. The Steak Loft, Mystic, CT - My favorite place to go for Fish & Chips. Yum!

7. Outback Steakhouse, Everywhere, CT - I tried not to include any big chain restaurants but I enjoy the food at Outback and I really like their wings. Yum!

8. Mill on the River, Manchester, CT - I like almost everything on their menu. Yum!

9. Cheesecake Factory, Everywhere, CT - Have you seen their selection of cheesecake?? Yum!

10. Wood ‘N Tap, Southington, CT - My favorite place to get a Reuben. Yum!

These are my opinions according to my taste buds. YMMV. Now I’m hungry!

This weeks topic for Ten on Tuesday is 10 Favorite Songs of the 80’s. It’s so hard to pick just 10 because the 80’s had a lot of really good music, but here is what I came up with.

1. Walking on Sunshine - Katrina & The Waves - This one always reminds me of a particularly good experience in my life.

2. Lonesome Loser - Little River Band -  I loved The Little River Band!

3. Take it Easy On Me - Little River Band.

4. Footloose - Kenny Loggins for the movie with the same name -  I had such a HUGE crush on Kevin Bacon and this song always gives me happy feet!

5. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Jeff Healy Band - I liked this version much better than the one by The Beatles.

6. Angel Eyes - Jeff Healy Band.

7. I’ll Be There For You - Bon Jovi - I might have had a little crush on Jon too.

8. The Longest Time - Billy Joel -  I love just about anything that Billy Joel sings.

9. When The Heart Rules The Mind - GTR -  Great song!

10. I Love You - Climax Blues Band -  How can you not love this song?!

I spent a good long time last night listening to oldies to come up with this list. It was awesome! Do you have a favorite 80’s song?

Apparently I have been on a blog vacation. I didn’t plan on it but here we are at almost 4 weeks since my last post. So I thought I’d see if a Ten on Tuesday post might help to get me back in the swing of things. I always have a hard time getting back into blogging after taking a break.
