We had fish and chips tonight (from the fish and chip shop). With plenty of salt and vinegar. You really do need to have something now and again that sticks to your ribs.
Nothing like a healthy meal. ;D

Hope it was nice!
You'll be glad I'm not coming with you because I can only order one thing for my maincourse and that's ''Vegetarian Delight -- Sautéed veggies including yellow squash, zucchini, asparagus and mushrooms served with baked potato and a dinner salad"
Spinach and artichoke dip to start.

First time we've ever been to the Steamboat Steakhouse. It was quite good. We had the prime rib cooked rare. The salad was just ok but the meat was excellent.
This is a very large restaurant owned by a wealth collector of Texas historical memorabilia. The walls are lined with old flags and historical documents. The place could double as a small museum. In fact, they give tours to groups of students from local schools. Historical places on this side of the pond are quite different from Europe because American history only goes back in time about 250 years.

What fun. Looks to be a real 'down home' restaurant. I'd have had the shrimp cocktail, the 10 oz. prime rib (medium) with asparagus and baked potato and beef steak tomato salad. and enjoyed it, I'm sure

Geez! I sound like a p. i. g. - pig. Must have been hungry. Tonight, I'd be very happy with just the shrimp cocktail and the tomatoes.

Our kitchen is out of commission due to water damage and being rebuilt. They've ripped out the kitchen cabinets and flooring. Replacing all of that, new countertop, wallpaper, wood flooring, the works. So we're eating most meals at restaurants while that work is going on. I think it will be another month before it's all back together.
Tonight we had a great meal at a seafood restaurant (Badins in Houston). I had pan sauteed AmberJack ( a great local ocean fish from the gulf) with lemon butter caper and fresh lump crab topping served with french fried shoestring potatoes. Yummy.

where's the green bean casserole Beth? Are you a communist? yes, yes, yes . . . not, but have already been verbally tarred and feathered for that by my son. The thing is, we made the meats, the salad and the desserts but others were responsible for the sides (and delicious sides they were).

I didn't have green bean casserole either......in fact, after cooking I wasn't hungry so only had a small bowl of mashed potatoes and a little turkey while picking the meat off the turkey

By the time you finish cooking, you're not really hungry anymore. I don't cook a lot BTW. And at the moment it's salad and cold meat, has been for a few weeks and will be for a few months.

Ok, the leftovers were very good last night, but a break from turkey, stuffing, etc., is in order. Spaghetti and garlic bread tonight, then, tomorrow finish the weekend with a casserole made with the last of the turkey, pasta, herbs and spices. Salads and skinny food 'til Christmas.

So! Has everyone gone off dinner again? ;D That's the only meal our family gets to have together on weekdays, and, then, not every evening but most of the time. Tonight Oven fried chicken drumsticks Cottage fried potatoes Honey glazed carrots Spinach, orange and onion tossed salad Rolls (not for me, though) It's chilly and raining here, so the hot meal was very good - very easy to prepare, too.

I had woodpigeon today for the 1st time! It was ok, and I had squid ink spaghetti with my main of sea bass. That was good too!
After being a veggie I am enjoying trying new things yet, I still prefer the veggies.
