Off To Star Cafe

After picking him up from the train station, we showed our friend around town and took him to Star Cafe to eat with my mom.  He'd never had a chicken fried steak, so that's what he had.  He liked it!  Andreas had me order fried mozzarella, since it's something I can't really find here in Angola.  I also had a steak, while Andreas had chili cheese fries and a burger.  Mom had chicken fried chicken.  Star Cafe's a good place to eat.

Bringing More Brown

I have been working more on the background and the peahen, which means more brown.  Eventually the brown will go away and I'll get some color.

Some Swirls

I swear this is eventually going to turn into a dragon.

The Water Gardens

We had a little bit of time before a friend's train came in, so instead of hanging out at the station, we walked a  couple of blocks to the Fort Worth Water Gardens.  This park was built in the early 1970's and was the site of the final scene of that classic Michael York vehicle, Logan's Run.  It's still a pretty place, but is definitely underutilized in the downtown area.

Cowfur Doily

We bought this at the stockyards.  Maybe I'll be able to make something like it soon.

Beginning Of November

Right on time, I started November!

Ol' South - Not Just For Breakfast

Ol' South has great lunches and dinners, too.  We had the mixed appetizer basket, including fried pickles.  Andreas had chicken fingers and a baked potato.  I had chicken fried steak and okra.  It was a very satisfying meal.
