Dinner: Tina and I ate dinner at Mighty Fine where I had a regular cheeseburger with bacon as an order of fries.

Dinner: I drove down to San Antonio to visit my friends Braden and Kelly who were having a barbecue. We grilled up hamburgers (Braden makes a flavorful spicy hamburger by mixing in minced garlic, ample amounts of chiptole peppers, and parsley), sausages, corn, pineapple spears, and a couple of flank steaks one of the guests had marinated in Italian dressing.

Lunch: I had a Kiolbassa brand Polish sausage as well as a zong zi for lunch.

Dinner: I ate the leftover lamb chops and zucchini with a scallion pancake.

Dinner: Lamb rib chops seasoned with dried rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper cooked sous vide at 55°C for 4 hours and then seared. Served with grilled zucchini.

Dinner: Tina made farfalle pasta with prosciutto and collard greens.

Dinner: We had a late night dinner at BJ's Brewhouse.

Ahi Poke; needed a little more poke sauce

Avocado Egg Rolls; a little too rich for us and dipping sauce was too sweet

Dinner: We decided to go to Enoteca Vespaio (1610 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX‎ - (512) 441-7672‎) for dinner. We started with an order of fried calamari. The breading on the calamari was salty and flavorful while the calamari was a mixed group of slightly chewy and perfectly tender. It was hard to stop eating these (mainly because there were a few perfect ones and I had to keep eating until I got another one).

Tina had the Rigatoni con Polpette (rigatoni w/ pork meatballs, arrabbiata, pecorino romano & melted fresh mozzarella) which had dense, hearty meatballs, huge rigatoni, a spicy and flavorful tomato sauce, and nicely browned mozzarella.

Dinner: I had a craving for fried chicken and it was too late to try to go to Nubian Queen Lola's, so I picked up a bucket ($10 for 10 pieces right now) of KFC along with mashed potatoes, cole slaw, and potato wedges. After ordering, I realized that back on the menu were the hot wings that I liked so much (but were discontinued for the last couple years). I ordered 5 pieces of that also.
