The Good, The Bad and The Writing
The Good
So I worked at a Client's office this morning, and then came home to my wife, son and house guest. Then it became time to show said house guest around San Antonio. Did I mention that this house guest is one of the best friends I have ever had, and I just realized yesterday that we will have known each other for twenty years this November. At which time I started my first job and he was my boss. Here's where I tell everyone that the best first job for anyone is working at a movie theater. I look back VERY fondly on those three years and six days!
So anyways, I came home from working and then we all went to Lulu's cafe. A place that I never even knew existed, but our guest had seen it on the the Food Network. As I learned today they are known for their cinnamon rolls. Texas-sized cinnamon rolls. Today was the first day I have actually seen any proof about the saying that "everything is bigger in Texas" (And I have lived here now for 2 years and 13 days).
First, as we were walking to our table (after a 15 minute wait outside the diner) we saw their chicken fried steak. Can I just say that this CFS would have fed Paul Bunyan. My wife and friend shared it and there was enough leftovers in my fridge now that will be a full meal for someone. I am not exaggerating! I don't like CFS, so I didn't indulge in this gravy drowned friedness.
After the meals were consumed we ordered dessert. ONE CINNAMON ROLL. Not each. Let me repeat. ONE CINNAMON ROLL. For the whole table. This three pound beast was easily 12" X 8". With more frosting than your average birthday cake. I cut it into quarters and dished it onto the serving plates. It hung over the edge of each of them. None of us finished our servings. All four of us have breakfast tomorrow!
After this we drove downtown and toured the Alamo. The full tour took about a half hour. Again, no one knew how to find the basement. One of these days! Then up and down the Riverwalk. We even took a River tour. Which was my first time. I thought I had been on one before, but I don't recall ever hearing any of the info that was given to us today.
All in all it was a good day! Got my friend signed up on Facebook - FINALLY!
The Bad
