The Mill

 Both of us were ready to get out of the house and go somewhere yesterday.  We're both still feeling the aftereffects of Covid so we decided to keep it a little closer to home.  The choice finally came down to The Mill or trying out Rend Lake bar and grill with Stringers as the third choice.  The Mill has several draft beer selections but Rend Lake has a lot bigger menu.  Unsurprisingly the beer won out.
After we turned in Christopher we hit road construction and were stopped for 15-20 minutes.  I was getting ready to turn around when we were allowed to get going.  I wanted a burger so I went with the Mill burger and seasoned crinkle cut fries.  The Glue got shrimp with a bourbon glaze and a side salad.  We both got Shiner Bock drafts.
My burger was okay but overdone for my taste.  The fries were what is normally called waffle fries and they were good but not a lot of seasoning.  The Glue's salad was a really nice side salad and the balsamic dressing was good.  The shrimp were very good and easily the best thing we got.

We were going to go to Pheasant Hollow afterwards but the sky was looking like it could rain and there was rain to the south.  Since the Glue had the freedom tops at home we decided to take some back roads and get closer to home.  Our back road didn't go on very long and when we got closer to Murphysboro we decided on a trip around the park and then home.
