Food lately

I've been slacking on the blog lately... Sorry about that!  My busy season at work is just about to wind down so I won't be traveling as much, which means more time at home and more time to blog.  So here are some pictures of food we've eaten out in the last few months...

b.b.bop -- we bought a Groupon for this place in Dallas and really enjoyed it!  They have healthy (ish) bowls of rice, meat, veggies, and sauces to try.  I got a steak one and Nathan got a pulled pork one (both with eggs- yum!).

Last week was Restaurant Week in Dallas so we decided to go out and try Abacus, a Kent Rathbun restaurant.  It was delicious!!  For starters, we had seared scallops and bison dumplings, then a orange sorbet pallet cleanser, then for the main dish I had a Kobe beef hanger steak and Nathan had a shrimp and grits dish (his definitely won!), and for dessert they brought out a smattering of choices for us.  Oh, and before our Restaurant Week meal, we ordered their famous Lobster Shooters which is an appetizer of fried lobster in a spicy sauce served in a shot glass.  It was all very good!

Left: Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate... and a stick of marshmallow
Middle: Cake with raspberry topping
Right: Pound cake with peach and jalapeno jelly 

One Saturday a while back, we tried Chip's Hamburgers for lunch-- an old but good burger place we had heard about.  Very tasty!  Especially while watching the Olympics.

And to finish up our food tour... Chick-fil-a

The craziness started a while back when Chick-fil-a stated their belief about marriage which sent people into a tizzy... So we went and supported Nathan's absolute favorite fast food place on Chick-fil-a Appreciation Day.  Thank goodness no picketers were present at North Park Mall... we ate our chicken in peace.
