High Marks For Presentation

During Christmas week, we were in Galveston with Andreas' parents and uncle.  On Christmas eve, the restaurant we were going to was next to an apartment fire and it was rather smoky.  That meant we ended up going to Brick House.  It was a good choice.  I had no appetizers, but the others had fried stuffed olives and deviled eggs.  They said both were excellent.  Andreas especially liked the olives.

 This is the reason I had no appetizers.  I had fried zucchini and French onion soup.  I fell victim to American portion sizes again; they were huge.  Although the food was fresh and hot and wonderful, I couldn't eat half of it.

Andreas had a ranch chicken sandwich and tater tots, which he finished.  The bun was oval instead of round, which helped accommodate the shape of the chicken breast.
