Mckeck's Food Review 2019!

             Last week, I was out and about with my dad and it was one of the two days I was out with him for the day. Anyways we had lunch over at Mckeck's Bar and Grill and mind you this wasn't the first time for me honestly. I have been there before I think I actually did a review last year or the year before but I would have to dig into the archives of 700 + posts that I have made over the years since February 2015 when I started making posts on almost regular basis. Anyways we arrived in Haliburton and got to Mckeck's and we put in our order. We had a craft beer which was from one of the local breweries there in Haliburton. I also ordered Chicken Caesar on a Wrap which had tomato wrap on it as well which was really good actually. The wrap itself was really good and filling as heck! Those kind of wraps are usually really filling. Least it was a more of a healthier choice since I am trying to be on this damn diet and honestly ever since has gotten out of control so I need to regain myself back on this after almost a week ago since eating out 2 days in a row. Now I also had kettle chips which is well known in the States. I was given several options and I am happy that I chose the Kettle Chips with the Chipotle Sauce. The sauce itself was spicy a bit but however it was still good with the kettle chips and I pretty much used up all the sauce too.


               Now the wrap I would give it 10 out of 10 as it went above and beyond for a wrap and was so tender and crunchy and so good that it sure as heck deserves a 10 out of 10. I'd definitely have this dish again in the very near future as well. Also the kettle chips need a rating out of 5 and once again I actually give it a 10 out of 10 once again. Crunchy, lots of flavor and the size of them were quite big and it was a filling as well. The waitress was really good and super friendly so service is a definite 10 out of 10. Also the restaurant gets a 10 out of 10 as well as they really have good food and like I said I have been there in the past years as a year thing when my dad and I are up there for the fall colors. In the end I highly recommend this bar and grill as the food is really good and worth it all in the end. I will talk to you guys tomorrow for the Throwback Thursday Story post.

Silent Lake & Haliburton Ontario 2019!

              Yesterday I got to go up north for the day with my dad and got to spend some time in the great white north. It also gave me the time to start reflecting on things not just CBOTW related and my life. My life hasn't been the most happiest nor positive in the last while and I need to get back into a more happier mood and positive attitude as it really gone south and yesterday was a good day to be out despite it being cold and what not but we dressed warm so we were perfect. Anyways we got there and went to our own stopping grounds campsite 127 where we last stayed which was years ago when we were staying with the trailer. Then we went down the hill to the dock took pics out there, then followed by our little rock area. Then we headed out to the day beach. We did a couple of the loops where we camped but that was pretty much it. The Day beach was the last place we went to. 


Then we headed our way to Haliburton as it is on our route heading home and we got to see the colors which I think honestly was about 90 - 95% full colors. We got to Haliburton and we went to McKeck's which a food review is coming this upcoming week as I have two reviews coming out this week back to back so stay tuned for that as well. Overall we had a good day and we had a very busy day but least I did sleep well that night and able to get sleep for the next day which is the York-Durham Railway which I will be talking about on tomorrow's blog post. Had a small issue with the tickets that same night and I wasn't very happy about the way things ended up but all worked out both the trip to Silent Lake and this weekend and I cannot wait to talk about it to you guys about the other places I have been to and I hope you enjoyed this blog post and I will see you guys in the next post tomorrow hopefully on time.

The Next 24 Hours Will Be Busy For Me!

              So the next 24 hours will be a busy one for me, as I will be with my dad doing things in the next  24 hours both today and tomorrow. This is why I decided to make a post and I think I am going to do some kind of post, however I wasn't going to originally post something up, however decided to make one since my weight loss is totally off kilter now due to eating out so much this week which isn't right and I know its for my mom's birthday and we didn't wanna cook but to eat 3 days in a row is much. Anyways here is what is on tap for me for today and tomorrow:


Today: I am heading up north for the day to Silent Lake Provincial Park for the day to enjoy the Fall colors as I am sure this is the time it will be really nice to see the leaves in full colors and hopefully the gate is open where we can go right through the entire park and see the colors for ourselves but we will have to definitely wait and see. Also we will be going through the Haliburton area on our way back down towards home and stopping at Makeck's which Walt Mackeny was a former Leaf player and he opened his own restaurant up in the area and it is an yearly tradition for my dad and I.


Tomorrow: Tomorrow we are going on the York Durham Railway on a small Hour and a half trip to Goodwood and back as Saturdays they do not go to Stouville which I wanted but they were completely sold out and I guess they are becoming more and more popular and that is truly great to hear and never know I may have had a part in it when we filmed in there as it is free promotion for them and you guys know I'd promote our local Heritage Railway anytime. I am looking forward to going on as I haven't been on it in a few years probably since the year Larry and I filmed up there. 


                There is what is what I am up to this weekend or start to the weekend and I think it will be definitely a good time and only the start of things technically as Sunday is another story and like I said you guys are going to know by Monday when I make the initial post about it but enjoy all the posts, today, tomorrow and Sunday as there is a ton of content in the way of the blog coming your way over the next couple of days. Anyways thanks for reading this post today and I will to you guys tomorrow.
