With the last chem lab completed, Himself invited his 3 teaching assistants (one for each lab section) to brunch as a thank you for their hard work. I got to tag along. Himself chose The Flying Rhino Cafe and Waterhole on Shrewsbury St. in Worcester.
There were lots of choices and on the back of the menu which I forgot to photograph there was a selection of appetizers.
I started with a Mimosa (orange juice and Prosecco). Himself had a Coke.
There were chicken fingers with a Buffalo Rub which the waiter said weren't very spicy. He lied. 😺
We also ordered Crab Rangoons
I ordered Stuffed French Toast with Mixed Berry Cream cheese. It wasn't plated as I thought it would be. I thought the cream cheese would be between two slices of thick bread which would be dipped in egg batter and fried and not on top of the French toast. It's plating might not have been very pretty, but it tasted delicious.

Everyone's opinion of spicy is different isn't it? I know my hubby doesn't agree on something I say isn't really spicy:) I'd love those crab Rangoons.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day, and a Merry Christmas too!
Anything beyond salt, a hint of pepper, basil, and oregano is spicy to me. 😺
DeleteLooks like a great brunch! I bet the TAs had fun. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
We had a nice time. They were a fun group of young people
DeleteI'd like to try some of their menu items with a mimosa :) I've never heard of stuffed French toast.
ReplyDeleteHappy T Tuesday!
They had lots to choose from on the menu and all would go great with a mimosa
DeleteLucky you getting to go out for lunch, sounds yummy! Have a great day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI was very happy to tag along. No cooking!
DeleteI haven't had a Crab Rangoon in years and we love those That was so thoughtful of your husband to take his assistants out for a very nice meal-everything sounds delicious
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy T Kathy
The food was really good and a nice group of kids
DeleteSometimes the WORST looking food tastes the BEST! {My parents were right, don't judge a book by it's cover!} ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was a blue ribbon taste winner
DeleteI haven't heard of this restaurant, but the food does look yummy. I agree with you about the French toast plating, but as long as it tastes good, that is what counts. My daughter wants French toast with strawberries and nutella for Christmas breakfast. I was surprised my husband said that sounded good as he's usually not one for sweeter breakfasts. And I am glad to hear we are not the only ones who still do stockings. Will Calli and Quill have stockings? Happy T day. Much warmer than yesterday for certain. Now if only the rest of winter was as nice as today is. Smile.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's choice sounds like a great Christmas morning breakfast. We still do stockings. I even got a new stocking for the Eldest. I didn't want her to worry about trying to find room to pack the stocking my mother made for her or to take the chance and mail it. Yes, Calli and Quill have stockings just like Ink and Mitty did
DeleteDefinitely not well plated! I also would have thought the cream cheese would be in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting it in the middle, too, but it did taste wonderful
DeleteI enjoyed your choices of appetizers except I don;'t do spicy at all. The crab Rangoon looks good, and so does your brunch choice. Nice to see the mimosa, but I'll join your husband and order a diet Coke, please. Thanks for taking us with you to the Flying Rhino and sharing your meal and drinks with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
ReplyDeleteThe food was delicious
DeleteI just saw your comment about DeJoy. I was whining to Kathy about the maniacal postmaster who destroyed so much of the needed postal equipment, so thought your comment was spot on.
ReplyDeleteIt's what happens when you hire someone to run a service and they have no experience whatsoever.
DeleteWhat a nice gesture of your husband to treat his TAs. I'm sure they appreciated it.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks good. I have no idea what stuffed French toast should look like, but as you say: as long as it tastes good.
Greetings from sunny Spain,
Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy 2022 to you and yours.
Lisca
They are good kids and probably enjoyed eating someplace that wasn't the uni cafeteria. Merry Christmas to you!
Deletei have never had proseco.. Must look it up. Buffalo wings fingers...yum.
ReplyDeleteProsecco is an Italian, sparkling white wine.
DeleteA Rhino Brunch? Scary, LOL. And that in combination with Worcester.. .we always add the sauce to things with rice..
ReplyDeleteYour drink sounds tempting! And the chicken!!! And the toast - you leave me all hungry!
Happy very belated T-Day! It´s but 07:00 am on Wednesday, does that count as excuse, pretty please?
Not late, Iris, just prolonging the celebration!
Deleteyummy
ReplyDelete😋
DeleteAll looks so fabulous! Yum! The drink looks good too. How fun to get to be a part of the special thank you and how sweet he did that too - I am guessing most professors do not. Thanks for sharing this, CJ. Merry Christmas and many hugz to you. Thanks for the inspiration and parts of your life you have shred this year. You are a blessing to me.
ReplyDeleteMost professors don't. Too bad because it's a great way to get to know these young people outside of the classroom/lab And thank you for the last comment. That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me.
DeleteLooks like a great time out. We love spicy here. Have a lovely Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you, too.
DeleteI do like some spice, but not too spicey - more like a "kick". The crab rangoons look delicious and I'm always up for a mimosa.
ReplyDeleteThese had a good kick. The mimosa was quite nice
DeleteOMG, what a fantastic restaurant name!!! (I LOVE rhinoceros.) (From Anne Cornucopia. Google has the comment box disabled when I try to do it while logged in. GRRR.)
ReplyDeleteI loved their sign out front.
DeleteI like the sound of Mimosa ... orange juice and Prosecco :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Orange juice and champagne works, too
DeleteThe French toast looks delicious, never seen it like that or those flavours before. Festive Wishes and Happy T Day Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteSomething new to try at home, perhaps.
