My folks are out for the weekend. We’ve done a number of fun things (the Children’s Museum, etc.), but we’ve also eaten. A lot. An unusual amount. And that on top of the food-fest last weekend out in California.<\/p>\n
Thursday night<\/u>: 240 Union<\/a>. Faboo eats, as usual. We had the creole garlic shrimp for starters. I had a marvelous strip steak. I eschewed dessert, but had a calvados<\/a> brandy. <\/p>\n Friday night<\/u>: Beer after the golf game. Wine with dinner. Margie cooked up chorizo-pork burgers<\/a>. Ate one and a half. Jackie backed oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Ate too many of them. <\/p>\n Saturday night<\/u>: Brunch at Le Peep<\/a>. Trail Dust Steakhouse<\/a>. Fried mushrooms. A big steak. A large margarita. Minimal number of calories burned dancing with Katherine on the dance floor.<\/p>\n I think it was the cookies that did me in.<\/p>\n We’re golfing 18 regulation tomorrow. Assuming I fit into my pants, I am frelling walking <\/em>the course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My folks are out for the weekend.
