Apple picking at Larriland Farm |
Larriland -- in Woodbine -- a true Howard County gem. Pick-your-own fruits and vegetables all summer, then a fall festival with apple fritters, hay rides, barbecue and more through this season.
Hayrides |
Every trip was wonderful, and I can't suggest it enough. Sun-warmed peaches are so delicious that you should put them now on your calendar for next summer. But the pumpkin-apple season takes a splendid second place, and Larriland augments with all kinds of kid-friendly activities like animals to check out and a hay bale maze to run through. On weekends, they have hay rides and food like apple fritters and hamburgers.
Lil' Chow just wanted an apple. I have been serving him diced apple since he came home. A few times, I went wild by making two-bite apple sticks. So this rookie Dad had to laugh when Lil' Chow took a small apple from a tree and proceeded to chomp off bites. Apparently not the choking hazard that I had expected -- although he did feed me the skin. I think it is too tough for his teeth.
Sweet potato fries and pork at Town Grill |
After our apple picking, we squeezed into a table at Town Grill in Lisbon for a lunch. The pulled pork sandwich continues to be one of my favorites, and Mrs. HowChow pulled off a new hit by ordering sweet potato fries.
Town Grill is just off the traffic circle between I-70 and Larriland. It's a barbecue joint inside a gas station, and it's really worth checking out -- as I have written many times in the past.
One more lesson from our folly: You don't need to squeeze into an indoor table like we did. Town Grille has enclosed their patio with screens and a plastic that should keep it comfortable even with a slight chill in the air. They have several tables out there, and we could have spread out.

Off topic but does anyone know about Glory Days and Sonic in Ellicott City?
Sonic posts are here.
The Glory Days website is here: http://www.glorydaysgrill.com/ That indicates that it will open in Ellicott City in the spring. It looks like TGIF/Applebees type of chain.
After further research, Glory Days is yet another sports bar ...
The barbecue sundae at larriland is AMAZINNG! I thought your post was going to be about that! Moist cornbread, pulled pork or chicken, crunchy coleslaw and a fried pickle on top. Insanely delicious.
Chris:
The BBQ sundae is also HowChow approved. :)
Also, if I'm being overly presumptuous by providing links to older posts, please let me know. I am not trying to be all "can't you go read archives, people?" but I figure if I can help cross-reference posts, it could be useful.

kam and Junior -- Thanks for adding the links. I love for folks to see older posts. Many still hold up. And I appreciate the help since I can't get to the blog as often as before. Thanks!
