Tonight I'll be in the Madison Square garden to see a Knicks game, so probably I'll be having fries and a burger for dinner tonight. I hope the game will be better than the dinner. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I will go out for dinner tonight so I think I will end up with some pasta...

Tim

Well I had chicken last night, however I had hot wings at a local restaurant while watching the Kings game. Therefore we will have to cook the fresh package of chicken in the refrigerator tonight - so once again: CHICKEN.

Well, I could say that I made Tortiglioni with a Bolognese sauce last night.

Or, I could just tell you that I browned some ground beef and threw in some prego.

Tonight... chinese. Or maybe we'll hit the Ruby Tuesday down the street.

Life can be boring on the road....

Curried chickpeas and basmati rice.

A 3-by-3, animal style, and fries, well done.

Quite possibly the world's perfect food. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I had a V-8 and some veggie lasagna.

I took my parents there a couple of years ago, back when I used to live in that neighborhood -- we all loved it. How was your meal ? Did Marlowe join you ?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Tonight I ate tomato soup. (I had a big lunch).

AMEN

Spaghetti Carbonara made with Sizzlean and a box of wine.

Just Kidding, but soemone sent me that link recently and we tried to imagine how we would handle the situation in which we were a dinner guest in someone's home and were served Sizzlean in our pasta! :O

Actually, I had City Wok Chicken ( a spicy orange chicken dish ) from the City Wok around the corner. I'll go back and read from the beginning for some ideas for tomorrow!

I sooooo love Frito Pie!! You forgot to sprinkle cheese across the top, though!

Where in TX did you go to elementary school?

In my partying heyday in Texas, friends and I used to go to 7-eleven on our way home, while we VERY drunk and make Frito Pie directly in the bag using the hot-dog fixin's! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif (That was, of course, when we couldn't make it to Whataburger, the true drunk Texas boy's friend!!)

And the finely chopped onions

Whataburger paled in comparison to the old Merry Go Round drive in on Berry St.

But Frito Pie seemed an absolute gourmet delicacy compared to one of the items that used to appear on the public school lunches in the little west Texas down I lived in for a couple of years in the '80's: hotdog tacos. A boiled hotdog in a taco shell.

But on to better things (couldn't be hard to do): tonight's supper was a delicious rendition of Clay Pot Prawn at the Janya Thai restaurant in Clayton. Another very good restaurant comes to the nether reaches of the East Bay.

Yes, Marlowe was present and very well-behaved. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

The food was very good, as usual, though the service has gotten a bit snippy (and looooong) - we noticed this the last time when having dinner with ILuvParis.

They have opened up a smaller restauarnt around the corner on the rue Marie Stuart called PIG'Z - I hear it is not as good.

OH MY GOD... childhood flashback (my parents NOW live down the street from Paschal for point of reference). I can remember going to Mehl's Shoeland every six months to buy new ballet shoes back when we still lived at Eagle Mountain Lake and getting to go to the Merry Go Round. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif Always a treat.

I'm a huge Frito pie girl... at the moment, I that the best one around is at Sonic (that if you don't count the one my mom makes). I am always on the hunt for a better one though!

Everyone in family has a cold, we are making homemade chicken noodle soup. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Lived on Marigold St. Grew up on Frito Pie, favorite places to eat, the orginal Pig Stand followed by Angelos Bar B Que

mmm. frito pie w/green chile.

I guess I know what we're having for dinner on saturday night.

tonight: probably some sort of chicken/tofu pad thai and some sort of vegetable to accompany.

I am beginning to really like making my own pad thai.

lala

mmmm... Angelos!

My parents live on Forest Park... practically right smack dab on the Park Hill circle. Short walk to TCU, shorter walk to Paschal.

I luv being a Fort Worth girl. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Ordered a pizza and a salad for my girl-friend. As it arrived, she was sleeping already http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif
So I just ate a slice and now it´s all in the garbage ...

Not too far from where the very first Taco Bell opened ~1970, iirc, @ Berry and Forest Park Blvd. Do you remember what Taco Bell's claim to marketing fame was when it opened? Every item on the menu was $.25. A few blocks from Ashburn's ice cream, now long and sadly defunct.

But back on-topic http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif , tonight's, in celebration of our 3rd refinancing in 6 years will be mesquite-grilled steaks, Mrs. Cblaisd's homemade foccacia, and assorted accoutrements.

I had NO idea that was the first! I still get drive-through from there all the time! I am a sucker for their tacos still although as they have gone national, they have toned down their spice content considerably.

We lived off the $.29 cent value menu when I was in high school... I think that it is the $.59 menu now.

My siser, OTOH, is a freak... she insists on going down to Jack In The Box (next to where the old Merry Go Round used to be) for their scary tacos whenever she is in town.

When I was in college in Ft. Worth, we would go to the old (now gone) El Chicos on Berry St. near the Merry Go-Round (now site of the JITB, as you point out). It was before it was the large chain that it is now. You could get a bowl of chili for $79 -- and all the chips and corn tortillas you could eat. Add a free glass of water and it was a long-lasting meal for a poor college student.

[Edit: of course that should be $.79 ]

cblaisd and techgirl, was at the Stock Show this past weekend and ate at Joe T. Garica's.
Still in part of original bldg of 60+ years in the stock yards and food has not changed its still good! AHHHH the memories of old FTW
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

That's pretty steep for a bowl of chili - I hope it was good! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Tonight we are invited to dinner for an authentic feijoada feast prepared by a Brazilian expatriate - yum!

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

The difference a dot makes.

How could anyone in Texas go to Taco Bell, when there is the 1M times better Taco Bueno readily available!!!

Whenever I am in Dallas, I always make sure I visit:

Taco Bueno
Grandy's
Braum's
Country Burger

------------------

There is NO Taco Bueno near my parents.

You would love coming to visit me, however...

Within five minutes of my place, I have Braums (walking distance), Grandys, Taco Bueno, Taco Cabana, Dairy Queen, and (my local fav) Burger Street.

Tonight... going out for Asian fusion....

http://www.abacus-restaurant.com/newsite/index.html

Mmm... lobster shooters. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'm coming over to visit!!

Tonight I made Beef Stroganoff (Okie-style which means ground beef with cream of mushroom soup! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif )

------------------

Just had domino's w/friends.

Pizza, buffalo wings and spots (very tasty)..

Woo hoo!

(In the meantime, get thineself to Long Beach next Thursday night.... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif )

Dim sum again. Not from Chinatown this time (though my neighborhood is often called "Chinatown West"), but from a restaurant three blocks from my house. They sell order-from-menu dim sum between 10 AM and 3 PM every day.

Yum! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I just tried (for the first time) the Lobster Ravioli from Omaha Steaks. Came with its own sauce in a separate packet. It was filling, delicious, and stuffed with pieces of lobster and not much other filler. Had Omaha Steaks' greenbeans in sauce with it. They stayed crunchy after microwave cooking. I was impressed with the meal. (If you want to try it, click the links to order online.)

------------------
There will never be a winner in the "Battle of the Sexes". There's too much fraternizing with the enemy.

Three of United Airlines "deluxe" nut/pretzel packets and a diet pepsi, LAX-SFO.

But tomorrow is another day.

Hey, don't knock the UA Deluxe nut mix!! (Wait is that the gold bag or is the gold bag called "Supreme?")

At any rate, I ordered a case of the gold bag of nuts from www.delyse.com one time, as I got addicted to them onboard.

What was funny is that I couldn't find the place to order them in regular sizes and ended up with a case of little .75 oz bags that had the UA logo on them!

Tonight's fare:

Charcoal grilled chicken breasts, with my own sauce of fresh ginger, orange juice, and basil; Basmati rice; an almond and orange peel romaine salad created by daughter cblaisd; sourdough bread, Breyer's ice cream with strawberries.

Much, much, better than last night's of snack mix and cranberry orange cookie, SBA-SJC http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

I had Cream of Wheat for dinner. I sure know how to live it up on a Friday huh!! http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

[This message has been edited by pointsgirl (edited 02-21-2003).]

By choice?

(I once heard it called "grits for yankees.")

Two papusas revueltas, along with black beans and rice, from the Salvadorean restaurant El Aguacate in Concord, CA. Fresh-picked strawberries for dessert. http://www.flyertalk.com/travel/fttr...orum/smile.gif

Made red beds and rice tonight. Cheated by starting from one of the pre-mixed versions. But atoned by slicing up a link of sausage in it and adding some shrimp and oysters and calamari. Made cornbread (NOT from a box) to go with it.
