Something Different

 The lunch menu at Joe T. Garcia's is a bit more varied than the dinner one.  I had a ranchera steak.  Andreas had a tostada and nachos.  All was good.

Nails For The Road

Got some pretty nails done for the trip to Kosovo!

Chartreuse And More

More and more chartreuse is a sign of progress.

Texafrench

Nearing the end of our home leave, we realized we had not hit up La Madeleine yet.  This visit remedied that.  I do love their soups and french dip sandwiches.  Their caesar salad is good, too.

Lunching Ol' South Style

Andreas had a reuben and I had chicken fried steak.  Gotta get my gravy somewhere!  It was gooood.

Fluttered By

Almost a full week after finishing the cross stitches on this, I finished the back stitching.  There was a LOT of back stitching.  It did add a lot of depth to the butterflies, though.  I am now down to only two items on the 2012 list, both of them large and being worked on.

Take Some Thai

Andreas' mom wanted Thai food as her last non-airport meal in the US before flying off to Japan.  I found Oceanic Thai Kitchen in Carrollton.  It was evidently a good choice, because Mike and Betsy had been to this place before during a quilt show and loved it. Everyone but me had bubble tea.  I had soup instead.  The food was very good and authentic too.
