RUBY TUESDAY RESTAURANT

LUNCH:

Why did I think Ruby Tuesday the song was a Beatles's song? Oops---it's a Rolling Stones song. Had the BOSTON BLUE BURGER w/ fries. Mmm Mmm good fuel for a day full of shopping. BTW there is no recession in San Antonio. Every store I went to today was busy like it was XMAS time.

BANANA

SNACK:

Eating a banana like my primate cousins do---from the bottom to the stem.

HOMEMADE PAN PIZZA

LUNCH:

No lunch hour today so when I got off work @ 3P I was hungry so whipped up a quick homemade Pan Pizza w/ hamburger meat and sauce and black olives topped with cheese. OK, OK I know I need to eat more vegetables. Next time I'll throw some broccoli in there---not!

Blue ever the ham jumped on sofa in time to get captured in the shot. Que cute!

PORK LOIN W/ SAUTEED OKRA & PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

SUPPER:

Love me a good pork loin and love me some farm fresh okra.

Last meal anyone?

Maybe! And with the FAIL of the Bacon Apple Pie of yesterday made something I know always is a PASS: Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Usually make it in a square pan but since

pineapple is round decided to try a round pan. It looks good and tastes good too.

LAISSEZ LES BONS TEMPS ROULER

SUPPER:

It's Fat Tuesday! Chicken Gumbo and Red Beans and Rice were obligatory fare tonight. Mmm Mmm Cajuny!

Ok---so I had heard about this wonderful pie and had to make it and see if it was really that good. This Bacon Apple pie was indeed a pretty sight but really am I ready for a coronary? It was OK but maybe bacon does not make everything better?

NATIONAL PANCAKE DAY

LUNCH:

Since I can't be here I made pancakes for myself today. Mmm Mmm even used sugar free syrup and healthy butter too!

Once had an argument with co-worker over the correct word for pancake in Spanish. Growing up we always said pan queque but my colleague insisted that was slang. Got out the Oxford Spanish Dictionary and there it was in print: Pancake = pan queque. I win!

Fast fact: Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.

PIZZA HUT

LEFTOVERS:

Busted!

SONIC DRIVE-IN

SNACK:

I will always remember their slogan from years gone by: Sonic, Happy Eating!

Got a twitter from a close friend reminding that they still do half price drinks during happy hour. Had to stop. Got an Ocean Water. Mmm Mmm slumdog refreshing!

MARTHA'S MEXICAN CAFE II

BREAKFAST:

Quick, good and inexpensive---you can not go wrong for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Today I had the country sausage and eggs plate. Mmm Mmm with papas and beans and tortillas.

HOOTERS

TEAM OUTING:

Nothing like getting out of your work at home prison and meeting the work gang for a few after work. Went to Hooters on Wurzbach for some Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and Fried pickles and Shiner Bock Beer. Mmm Mmm soon to be relatively famous and drunk Michael.
