Dinner: We stopped in at the Texadelphia on Brodie Lane to try their Tex-Mex influenced Philly Cheesesteaks. We split two different sandwiches.

The Texican Beef with grilled onions, mozzarella and lots of sliced jalapenos. Comes with a side of Queso to pour on top.

Lunch: I whipped up a simple tuna fish salad for lunch and served it on Ritz crackers. We also heated up a cong you bing and ate that along with our lunch.

Dinner: Greg and Yachi were in town, so Gary, Mary, Greg, and Yachi came over to see the house. We then went out to The Salt Lick (Greg and Yachi had never been) for barbecue baby back ribs (a Sunday special), some brisket, sausage, potato salad, and cole slaw. We enjoyed the dinner with a couple of bottles of wine from our "cellar" (the boxes on the floor of our pantry that we hauled from California) - a 1997 Cabernet from Mondavi and a 1998 Bordeaux from a winery I forgot to record. BBQ, friends, and great conversation - isn't that what it's all about?

Dinner: After a long work day and a fairly light lunch, Tina and I were starving. I wanted a steak and the last time we went to Texas Roadhouse the steak was fairly decent, so I suggested we go there again. I ordered a 16-oz. ribeye steak with a house salad and loaded baked potato. Tina ordered a full rack of ribs with green beans and sweet potato.

One of the nice things about Texas Roadhouse is that you can munch on peanuts while you wait for your food. Coincidentally, I had a craving for salted nuts the night before that had never been satisfied. (Well, it wasn't all that coincidental - I chose Texas Roadhouse partly because I knew I could get some peanuts.)
