Silver Pine for lunch.
Buffalo wings.
I love wings when they use real chicken 
Strawberry Gorgonzola salad.
Greens and spinach, strawberries, dried cranberries, candied pecans, Gorgonzola, balsamic vinaigrette.
Balsamic Vinaigrette just made the list with
arugula 
it’s overrated and too strong.

Needs syrup. Lots of syrup 
The deal with the syrup: I used to work at a killer café in California. (It was the one where I served Patrick Swayze and his family often. 
)
Every Saturday and Sunday, we had a 2X2X2 - 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon or sausage and 2 pancakes for $2.99. We were always packed and I was always covered in syrup - touching it, wiping it from tables, the floor, the chairs. Sticky and gross.
And THEN at the end of the shift, we’d have to collect all the little syrups and fill it from the big-ass vat of syrup in the back room and run hot water of the bottles to get the sticky off. Steaming room of maple syrup stench.
All that to say, I have my reasons. 
I made a ton of money there as a happy Cali teen.

Tell me about sister. I worked at the Mag.
Magnolia Cafe in Austin.
Buttermilk Pancakes
Whole Wheat Pancakes.
Corn Meal Pancakes.
Gingerbread Pancakes, my personal fave with bananas. And lots of syrup.
4 to 6 fruit choices on all combinations.
French toast.
Open 24 hours. Let me tell you about wearing pancake syrup home and getting it in your car and all over ya. And down your leg.
I think we’d make a bad ass team on the floor.
Every gal I ever hired from the Midwest worked her ass off. I bet that’s you!
We kept our pancake syrup sitting in an inch of water on a big tray. Because ants can’t swim 
Seriously, every once and awhile a custome would get the 
pancakes 
. What are ya gonna do?

Our place had Gibby Haynes from the Butthole Surfers. Good band from San Antonio. No Patrick Swayze.
I’m with you. I heated up some meat and am putting it in a tortilla and using queso for dip

I feel like y’all in bed by the time I post my dinner 
Spicy Coconut Curry Pork Noodle Soup
Bok Choy, Napa Cabbage and Lime.
Minnie is back home from her surgery. She wanted to check in. I gave her night off from any kitchen duties.
I did put together a few special doggie meatballs for her. She’s needs a good nights rest and will hopefully be back to work with me in the kitchen tomorrow.

Hi, Minnie! Rest up and feel better!
Curry is an absolute favorite in this house. I haven’t perfected it yet. Maybe I just haven’t found the right base combo. I prefer Japanese or Indian curry. The kiddo is yellow Thai curry ALL the way.
That looks delicious. Take out? Or made at home?

It’s a Hello Fresh recipe I made at home. I cannot just whip up a curry for some reason. I wish I could.
Why oh why do I come to this thread at midnight?? I’m having all kinds of cravings now

Lunch at Texas Road House
Steak House Filet Salad
Salad greens drizzled with Italian dressing, topped with tender filet strips, Bleu Cheese crumbles, bacon bits, red onions, tomatoes and croutons, and served with a side of creamy Bleu Cheese.
I’ve never had this before. It was great! I cannot complain about a thing. The filet was even cooked perfectly rare.
