Golden Lamb

Went to the Golden Lamb in Lebanon KY. For some reason I thought I was still in OH. The food was more meat and potatoes. Not my style. I had the leg of lamb which did not come as a leg of lamb. It came as slices of lamb meat. It was kind of odd. It wasn't bad. I would rate it a 3 out of 5 stars. The salad I chose based upon my lunch partner's suggestion was quite good. It was a cottage cheese salad with a ring o pineapple topped with a celery seed dressing. I was surprised how tasty it was.

The restaurant was also a bed and breakfast. They were very proud that 12 US presidents have stayed there. They have presidential rooms roped off and on display. I didn't look at all the rooms. What I saw, I really didn't want to stay in. The only one that looked nice from the 4 I saw was Bush's room. I kept feeling like I was in an old western movie. There were "antique" items in cabinets and book cases everywhere. Many of the figurines were in the shape of . . . you guessed it, a lamb. I almost felt a bit claustrophobic because I was afraid that I would bump into something fragile. Fortunately, I knocked nothing over.

The main point of the lunch was to go by the Exotica store across the street. No, it wasn't a stripper club. It was a jewelry store. It was crammed full of unique jewelry. The jewelry wasn't really my style because there were no dragons. I did see a very lovely dolphin toe ring. The find of the day was my silver band necklace that my dragon/phoenix slide on to. It was reasonably priced @ $40. I bought it with glee.

I had a lovely chat with my lunch date on the drive there and back. We have similar tastes and view points. It was wonderful to get out of the office and have a relaxing meal away. Hope to meet up w/ my lunch date again in the future.

Returning back to the office earlier than planned, I still decided to stay late. Got back to the Hyatt late and forced myself to work out. I hate running. I got on the bloody treadmill and jogged (wogged) more than I speed walked. Afterwards, I wanted to go to the corner market. Unfortunately it was CLOSED! They closed at 7 pm. They had a lot of alcohol in there. So next time, I know to stop there on the way back from work. I did pass by a store I had no idea was there. I can't believe I never saw it. It is store made popular by L. Flint.

Yup, the notorious Mr. Flint. They card you to get in! Who carries their id around all the time? I didn't expect to find a store like this literally right next to the hotel. I don't know how many times I have gone down this street and NEVER seen it. I don't know how I could have missed it. Oh well. Saved for another adventure. 4 more nights until Mexico!
