Dinner: We had to get some curtains at Bed Bath & Beyond, so after we were done we went across the street to try La Madeleine Country French Cafe (5493 Brodie Lane, Austin, TX‎ - (512) 287-4081‎). The restaurant is counter style - where you order pre-prepared food from a counter like quiches, other savory pastries, rotisserie chicken (which they were out of), and soups and salads. We tried a couple of soups, pastries, and dessert.

We tried the French Onion Soup which was a bit too salty.

Dinner: We headed over to Rio's Brazilian Cafe (408 N. Pleasant Valley, Austin, TX - (512) 828-6617) to see their new location and try some of their food. We ate a variety of foods ranging from salgadinhos (Brazilian savory pastries) to "Brazilian Breakfast Pockets" to Pão de queijo (a gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread made of yucca root).

Risoli de Frango (pastries stuffed with chicken and vegetables) and Brazilian Breakfast Pockets (two kinds: pastry filled with bacon, eggs, and cheese and pastry filled with potato, eggs, cheese, bell peppers, and tomatoes)

Lunch: I ate the leftover chicken and tortillas from El Pollo Rico.

Dinner: I had an Asian Chicken Salad from Red Robin for dinner. The chicken was tender and flavorful (which is usually the exception when it comes to chicken breast), but the salad was a tad overly dressed.

Lunch: We ate reheated slices of Domino's pizza for lunch. I think their using too much cheese now too - it's like there's a slippery layer of goo all over the gummy pizza dough (although I managed to crisp up the bottom in the convection oven). Ugh.

Dinner: I ate both the leftovers from Azul Tequila - the Pescado Veracruzano and the Cabrito al Maguey.
