restauranting

For some reason on weekends with my Fridays off, we tend to eat out a lot. This weekend was no exception.


Thurs night: Garcia's kitchen -- New Mexican. This is our local place. We're separated from it by only a dentist office, so we walk over somewhat often. I got the southwest burrito, and Jill had beef brisket taco.


Fri noon: Mykanos Cafe -- very nice Greek food. I had a creamy-citrusy pork pasta and Jill had grape leaves filled with beef, rice, and some strong spices. Highly recommended.


Sat noon: Duran's station -- New Mexican. I had a grilled roast beef sandwich on sourdough, and Jill had the enchilado and relleno combo. A curious feature of this restaurant is that the waiters do some cooking and assemlbing in addition to serving the food. We watched the tortillas being made right in front of us. Yummy!


Sat night: Tucano's -- Brazilian bbq. Celebrated Garry's 30th birthday by eating as much meat as possible. Topped off the night by hitting Coldstone for some ice cream. Yummy!


Sun noon: Steak on a Bun -- Philly cheesesteaks. We both like this place a good bit, but it's a bummer that the place is nearly deserted every time we go there. Either there's lots of people coming for lunch during the week, or this place is not long for the world. Good stuff!


Is this excessive? Probably, but look at this picture that was hiding on our hard drive:
We do indeed have a secret life of excessive consumption :) To make up for it, I'll follow Al Gore's example and buy some carbon offsets ;) ;>) ;

You should know this already, but Jill is a wonderful cook. In the last couple of days, she's been cooking in this:




You too can dress this well while cooking, simply check out our friend's Etsy shop. We make no guarantees that a similar apron will improve your cooking though. Good luck with that.
