Jenny and I visited the Trader’s Point Creamery in Zionsville, Indiana, today. It’s a small farm that produces organic milk and cheese. We enjoyed a few milkshakes in their nice cafe.

Went to an apple orchard today in a town about 30 minutes southwest of Indianapolis. Lots and lots of apples.

Well, it wasn’t really a contest, but JB decided he wanted to see if he could eat a bag of cotton candy in a single bite. He pulled it off.

Gisela’s Kaffeekranzchen eschlossen

Translation: My favorite restaurant in all of Indiana closed.

German restaurant in Zionsville closes

Gisela’s Kaffeekranzchen, a German restaurant at 112 S. Main St. in Zionsville, has closed, according to the Indy Ethnic Food newsletter. No one could be reached at the restaurant. — Indianapolis Star

This German restaurant resided in an attic in downtown Zionsville, a quaint town 10 minutes northwest of Indianapolis. The place had maybe 10 tables, a kitchen that resided in its own little hut (with fake roof), and exposed rafters. The mother waited on everyone while the son cooked.

The food was good, but the location, atmosphere, and German family is what won me over years ago; and now they are gone, beendet, nicht mehr.

So if Gisela’s was my favorite restaurant in Indiana, what’s my favorite restaurant in all of the world? Easy. It’s the Olde Hansa Restaurant in downtown Tallinn, Estonia (food | restaurant).

The Taste of Broad Ripple is a good time. It’s more beer and wine than food, but that’s okay. We did find some bbq.
