I almost never post my breakfast, which is typically oatmeal or cereal. Today? Strawberry Special K!

10/27/2010 Dinner @ Home



I made a patty melt last night and it was delicious! Here's what it contained:

Patty

  • Ground beef
  • Fresh chopped garlic
  • Chopped red onions
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Season all
I cooked them in vegetable oil and made sure they were wide and flat.

I put them on sandwich bread pan toasted in butter. I had melted brie, melted cheddar, 2 pickles, and sweet, honey pecan BBQ sauce. Really delicious.

Beth also made her Pear and Gorgonzola salad. So good!

This was from our roadtrip to LA - just now getting around to uploading all the pics. Normally I would just mobile post, but Google doesn't allow me to upload multiple pics via mobile. boo.
Anyway, we stuff ourselves silly at Oggi's and watched the Giant's vs. Phillies.

I apologize for the photos and how they are upside down. Blogger refuses to upload them in the format they are shown on my desktop so I give up.

Regardless, delicious fried chicken, jalapeƱo corn bread, mac and cheese, and seasoned fries. We should have gotten the waffle! But, still tasty as all heck.

10/20/2010 Dinner @ Kokkari Estiatorio

This is a fantastic Greek restaurant. I knew my mom (who is in town) really enjoys a Greek place back home in Houston, so I wanted to take her to one that was simply stellar.

Complimentary olives to start
Squash that had a lot of garlic. Very tasty.
What's left of a Greek fried cheese, covered in lemon and Oregano. Love this.
Close up of the heirloom tomato salad, with capers, feta, olive oil, and some green leafy thing.

Remnants of the Gigantes, huge beans with feta, tomato sauce, and more. Incredible dish.
Beth's Ravioli. She said it was good, but nothing too special.
Amazing casserole. Topped with gooey, melted cheese. 

Inside is ground lamb, potatoes, eggplant, a creamy bechemel, and the hint of cinnamon.
