Roscoe Village
Since we missed out on our cruise to Hawaii last year, due to the pandemic, my husband had 3 weeks vacation built up that he needed to use it or lose it. Monday we decided to visit a new place called Roscoe Village in Coshocton Ohio, pictures below. Tuesday we headed towards Cleveland to eat at a place called Fat Heads and shop at Trader Joe’s, an organic grocery store. Wednesday was our semi annual trip to Amish country. Click HERE to see our Amish trip from last year during the pandemic and HERE to see our Amish trip in 2019.
Roscoe Village was like walking through a beautifully landscaped old fashioned town from the past. Their shops had so many unique flavors of food, drinks, soaps, lotions etc. They are not only known for their little town but also for a canal boat that is pulled by horse mules. It only operates on weekends so we missed out on this one.
We ate at a place called The Warehouse Restaurant and we both had a delicious meal with crawfish tails in it. I have never tasted crawfish before and I thought they were delicious as they were served in a Cajun garlic sauce. We split a crawfish and onion rings appetizer, my husband had crawfish pasta and I had ribs with a side of crawfish macaroni and cheese. All of it tasted so good!
I hope you enjoyed our trip as much as we did!

Roscoe Village looks like such a beautiful town! But I’m afraid, you will have to drag me out of that shop – those beautiful jars of jam, wine and all the delicious-looking sweets (oh, that popcorn!) … yes, I will definitely enjoy myself there!
And your food looks great too – I’m sure you are making new recipes in your head while eating those yummy food 😉.

I love Trader Joes, especially their sun dried tomatoes that are soft, yet in that package without oil…just tomatoes. I went a few weeks ago. That town looks like so much fun. I never thought of things like that in Ohio. Stores like that with such a variety of flavors for many items are so tempting. Did you come back with a huge haul? What does crawfish taste like. It looks kind of like shrimp in texture. So you opted to use the 3 weeks doing day trips instead of a longer vacation somewhere? Have fun!
BTW, I made baked tofu last night, adding curry powder. I had it sitting on parchment paper but the stain bled through onto the nice and shiny non stick Chef baking dish (My landlady’s). Any suggestions for getting the stain out? I tried soaking it in vinegar and water, then comet and a little water, then bar keepers…..no luck.

This is going to sound crazy but people swear it works. Pour warm water into the dish then place a new dryer sheet on the surface of the water and let it sit overnight. The next day wipe it clean. Let me know if this worked will you please.

Thanks. I don’t use dryer sheets but I’ll see if my neighbor has one.

I tried it last night, putting the dryer sheets in the warm water yesterday morning, in the large baking sheet pan, and left it all day and night and the stains are still there. I am staying in a place with someone else’s stuff so I don’t know if this baking pan is non stick or not….but that may make a difference.

What a shame I was hoping it would work. It sounds like it may be permanently stained.

Got me good, today. Crawdads are the only best memory of the few years I lived in Louisiana. And TRADER JOE’S is just a 20 minute drive to town of a Sunday morning for our week’s grocery shopping.
And very nice photos, BTW. A skill you improve upon every year. You deserve the credit.

No big fish markets around you? I guess we’d get them at Eastern Market in Detroit. We used to have a fish market down by Bishop Park in Wyandotte on the Detroit River where you could get a fish dinner (only to go) or to buy fresh fish … at Lake Erie Metropark we saw the “chimneys” where the crayfish build their homes when I took an interpretive tour. So we must have them available at fish markets. No, I wouldn’t do that either – we did lots of stuff as kids we would not do nowadays … I know that’s true for me!
