Coming Soon . . .

. . . to a blog near you. (I always wanted to say that )

I just could not get these posted this week.

• Oxtail Stew – one of my favorite, albeit uncommon, meals during winter months.
• Simple chicken breasts – easy as pie recipe from Sally Fallon.

I made the above for dinners this week and wanted to post the recipes. We are heading out of town – hubby and I for a romantic weekend, and little mister to spend time with his grandfolks. So, will aim at next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

On the Road

We are traveling for the holidays and having a great time. We’ve been exploring Austin and visiting some friends and family, and tomorrow we’ll head to my inlaws’ in Houston. So far I haven’t experienced anything very spectacular in the food department. But we did eat “brunch” at a little dive – hole in the wall – on Sunday.

Due to driving all day Saturday, we had gotten a late start and missed out on the hotel’s breakfast offerings. So, I was in the mood for, well, breakfast. So we did a search on our semi-trusty satellite Sam and found someplace called The Omeletry. My husband ordered some sort of spinach omelet he said was good. I absolutely adore avocados, so had to try the quacamole omelet. It was loaded with mashed avocado, chopped tomatoes and, of course, cheese.

I enjoyed my omelet immensely until . . . I found a hair about halfway through. Ah man, I was so disappointed! That really put a damper on my enthusiasm and I did not finish the omelet. The manager assured us after inspecting the offending hair that it was actually a strand from a basting brush they used while cooking. He also comped our entire bill – all three of our meals. So, I think I would probably go back and give them another chance. They do know how to make a good omelet. What would you do?
