Esperanza's For Lunch

On one of our last days of home leave, we made sure to go to Esperanza's. It wouldn't be home leave without a lunch there. This was a new location to us - this one's near South University.

 

Lunch at Cooper's

Barbecue and smoke pits and Texana. Can't get much better than Cooper's. 

 

Chicken Fried Steak

Always a good choice and something I will be getting in August for sure. This was from our trip last year.

 

Andreas' Request - Genghis Grill

Every home leave we go to Genghis Grill. Andreas likes putting together his own ingredients and getting them cooked for him.

 

Another Favorite

I can't want to go back to Joe T.'s in August. Their food is soooo good.

 

Back to Ol' South

What can I say? We really like this place. And we get to go back in August.

 

Ol' South Breakfast

I am still in love with dutch babies. And I get to taste them again come August. I really need to start making them at home.

 

At the Railhead

One of our favorite barbeque joints in Fort Worth - Railhead. I always get the same thing and it never disappoints. Can't wait to visit again in August.

 

Ol' South Dinner

One of our favorite places - we get to go again in August. They have great fried pickles.

 

Cavender's Haul

One of our Cavender's trips. Some of the earrings are not for me.

 

Never Too Many

I always need more Texas items. It's the law.

 

World Series Swag

We had to get World Series swag when the Rangers won it for the first time ever. And I use it every day.

 

New Wallet

I had been trying to downsize my wallet for a while. Found this one at Cavender's, and it's perfect. It also takes up half the space in my purse as my old one.

 

French Knot Stash

I bought the compass rose canvas at the French Knot on top of these things. The blues are for the canvas.

 

Two Bags

Both of these bags are from Myrna Bags. I bought the top one in Texas and the bottom in Colorado.

 

Compass Rose Canvas

I saw this at The French Knot and bought it, along with silk to stitch it. Will start at some point this month.

 

Texas Flowers - Stitch Maynia #30

One of my bigger projects this year. I'm looking forward to how this will look when it's done.

Last Lunch At Esperanza

Last visit to Esperanza's before leaving Texas. I miss real Mexican food.

Last Chance At Fried Pickles

The burger was good, but it was the fried pickles that made this meal. It was at one of the places on Seventh Street in Fort Worth. Bar area. But fried pickles. I think this was the last time I've had them. I wonder if I could make them.

Sweet Mesquite

I like Sweet Mesquite's barbecue and their fried okra, so we headed there on one of our last days in Fort Worth. Turns out the one we went to had a kitchen fire a few days later. Anyway, it tasted truly wonderful.
