A day of eating adventures
Today, Araceli and I had a lunch date. Kim was pretty tired today and so I spent most of they morning playing with Araceli, which was a blast. We made pancakes (pa-keeks!) and built numerous staircases out of blocks.
At lunch time, I decided to take her to my favorite Sunday lunch...LUCKY DOG. Gotta have some Lucky Dog. Now, for you Austin folks, it's important to know that all Lucky Dogs are not created equally. The one up North (formely in Pflugerville, but now off of I-35 in Roundrock) has added Pizza and Gyros to the menu, and they're open on Sundays now.
Anyway, I tossed on some street clothes, got her all gussied up, and headed out. After ordering my food, I patted my pocket only to notice...no wallet. Damn! So I told the people behind me to go ahead, and went back out to the car. After searching for a while, I found that Kim keeps a check in the diaper bag. Hmm worth a try, eh? I went BACK inside and asked if they would take a check. They guy behind the counter wasn't one of the owners, and said that they don't take checks. So, I started back out to the car (remember, toddler in tow the whole time) and someone said "Well, what the heck, I'll take a check!" The couple that had initially been behind us in line were graicious enough to pay for us at the counter and let me write them a personal check.
That was really nice. I hope folks are that friendly in California. Oh, I got chicken fingers for Araceli, and I must say, they were great. I've never had a less-than-great meal at Lucky Dog "North."
Second restaurant story. We met my good friend Todd Bailey (http://www.sunsword.com/toad) for dinner at the "Wings n' More" near his home. Total crap. Not your fault Todd! I ordered some wings n' ribs. I wish I hadn't. The only thing decent there were the curly fries and the Dr. Pepper. Oh, and the fried appetizers. The wings, garlic/parmesan wings, garlic bread, and ribs were some of the worst restaurant food I've had in a long time. Oh well, live and learn.
And that's my eating adventure.

I have. The gyro was very very terrible the last two times we ordered it there!

The people in California are different based upon the region you enter. The large citeies tend to be full of popous folks and the central valley tends to be populated with rural inclinations. If you are from Texas, then the latter will probably suit you better.
