A fun place to eat- March 25, 2005 I recently took a business friend to Malaga's. I thought it would be more fun than the normal sitdown stuffy fare (like Roy's or just about any other place). I also knew he was a wine lover of sorts.He really like it. When he first walked into the place he about went bonkers when he saw the walls lined with bottles of wine. He was like a kid in a candy shop. He read the wine list from front to back and selected a Spanish Red, in deference to Malaga.For the tapas, we ordered: Spinach and...http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/fun-place-to-eat.html The wife is the key!- March 17, 2005 i love this quote from the linked new story:"One day, Crane called Bento's home, and his wife, Teri, answered the phone. Crane introduced himself and asked if Teri and Joe would join him at the Ritz-Carlton for dinner. Teri accepted. During the meal, Joe got up to go to the bathroom, and Crane then reached into his pocket for his checkbook. He wrote out a check for a five-figure signing bonus, and slid it across the table to Teri. "The day your husband comes to work with us," he said, "you can..http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/wife-is-key.html what is love- March 16, 2005 As I drive home from a birthday party for a 4 year old my thoughts wander to my wife of 14 years who is driving home in a separate car - only because of the way our day came together. I've always cared for her, but as I drive home I realize that I really like her... as a friend, a companion, and just someone to hang out with. Even if we don't talk, I still like being in the same room - evidence if any that real-life magnetic waves if not other things are transmitted and received by people.It...http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/what-is-love.html It's coooommmmmmiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggg- March 13, 2005 A nice article on the changing reality for US workers. Not mentioned in the article, but this seems to me to also touch on the switch from steady employment to a more project based economy.http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/its-coooommmmmmiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggg.html Definition: Mining- March 7, 2005 Be honest. You all know what mining is. You all have done it.When you buy chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and when you are alone with your beloved creamy temptation, you do it. You go mining don't you.It's when you intentially dig out the cookie dough bits leaving behind just the ice cream.And it's not just cookie dough either. You can go mining with Ben & Jerry's New York Double Chocolate Crunch. You can do it with Phish Food too (I love those chocolate phish).So now you know, that...http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/definition-mining.html (Untitled)- March 5, 2005 Quick Restaurant Review 2:Went to Giss's restaurant on William Cannon Drive West (Austin TX).Again, standard fare Americana type stuff.My wife ordered pot-pie. My daughter ordered pot-pie. My boy ordered a corn dog and I ordered my old friend: the cheeseburger.My cheeseburger was pretty good. On a scale of 1-10, it was probably a 7. I ordered it with American cheese and mushrooms. I don't think my wife was blown away by the pot-pie and my little girl (age 7) didn't eat hers either. As far as a..http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/quick-restaurant-review-2-went-to.html (Untitled)- March 5, 2005 Quick Restaurant ReviewRecently after church, three families (about 6 adults and 12 children) went to Willie Nelson's Roadhouse restaurant in Austin, Texas for lunch.I ordered a cheeseburger and substituted mashed potatoes and gravy for the french fries. My wife had a salad.Overall, the restaurant I think would be a real strong average. Very much standard fare Americana food. My mashed potatoes were outstanding, but my burger was awfully salty. We did have to wait a long time to get our...http://prairieview.blogspot.com/2005/03/quick-restaurant-review-recently-after.html |
