Our kale, blueberry and protein shake for breakfast was wearing off; so I googled. Although we are changing our way of eating, it DOES include a bit of protein. Burgers - as long as grass fed - are ok. Yup, I found where in Houston to eat such a burger!
The website will inform you of their location...they're always on the move. May I say, I thoroughly enjoyed {i.e., devoured!} my burger. Sans bun + fries. My piece of grass-fed beef was smothered with bleu cheese, burgundy-infused mushrooms, and "tipsy" onions. OMgoodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the way to the eye doctor, I chomped gum and chewed on mints to deflect those onions...poor eye docs! Those close encounters! Ewwwww. Any-hoo, had tons of fun picking out my new frames.
Time for a more serious stop. We went to visit #2 Son.....and felt like tour guides as we helped several couples learn the ropes. It's rather strange to feel comfortable on Baker Street in Houston. Our
boy is doing well - God is working within the system. He's been incarcerated for 9 weeks and is the most stable we've ever seen him. Since time heals all wounds, I am now ready (i.e., no longer angry) to wrap my arms around him. In fact, it kills me that we cannot touch. Talking through the speaker with a thick glass between us is NOT good for mother-love. Or father-love (especially since My Guy is so tender...).
Speaking of My Guy, he suggested another stop downtown - Phoenicia. We literally went around the world - it was fascinating to see so many countries represented in food aisles!!!!
An olive oil aisle that went on forever....
Coffees from every corner of the world!
Date Day in H-town is as fun as we make it folks! Something I want to be intentional about is to step out of my box. I want to explore - enjoy - and love my days to the fullest. I'm a lucky gal to have a Guy who wants to hang with me and do the same. 2012 is rockin' thus far!
