What I Ate: November 17, 2009 (Jack-In-The-Box, Pho Thaison)

Due to an ultra-busy day at work (just finished up for the night), I didn't get a chance to process my food pictures yet, so I'll update this entry tomorrow with the pics.

Lunch: Jack-In-The-Box on 1626 in Kyle. I had a breakfast burger (cheese, egg, sausage patties) with hash browns for lunch. I believe this means that I have now dined at every restaurant (and I define that by any business who primarily serves lunch or dinner) in Kyle. As far as I know, the only other places that serve food are the bar on Center Street, the Shipley's Donuts, and the pizza you can buy at the gas station on 150.

Dinner: We finished up at the new house (less than 3 days to closing) and grabbed dinner at Mighty Fine (5601 Brodie Ln # 1300, Sunset Valley, TX‎ - (512) 735-2800‎). I had a Junior Cheeseburger with Bacon with fries and a strawberry lemonade.

Lunch: This week marks the final days before we close on our house. Many errands to be done. Fast lunch at Costco. Polish sausage for me (and a little of Tina's pizza slice).

Dinner: Had fish tacos at Serrano's - this time it wasn't as good as last time. Pretty bland actually. I asked for two more servings of pico de gallo and that helped quite a bit as did a few liberal squeezes of the limes that came with the meal. The rice was also dry and had some hard tough bits. The fish also tasted really… well, fishy.

Lunch: The rest of the leftover wild mushroom risotto - still delicious.

Dinner: On our way to Home Depot, we stopped in at KFC where I decided to try one of their variety box meals. Of the different types of chicken (sandwich, strips, original drumstick) that I tried, the original was still the one that I liked the most… the rest, I could do without. Next time, I'll just get three pieces of the orginal recipe dark meat and be done with it.

What I Ate: November 12, 2009 (South Congress Cafe)

Lunch: After meeting with our general inspector we stopped in at Steak 'n Shake to try their hot dogs. Their hot dogs aren't as good as their burgers, but not too bad. They did look visually unappealing though. It's not really fair to compare the real thing at a low-cost chain restaurant to the picture on their menu, but it's fun to do so.

What I Ate: November 10, 2009 (Blue Bamboo)

Dinner: Blue Bamboo again - we went to visit the new house and took Tina's parents along to help inspect the new floor, so that meant we needed to eat dinner somewhere that was not too foreign to the Chinese palate. Of the restaurants near our new home, that would be Blue Bamboo.

Dinner: Steak 'n Shake for dinner - I got a Guacamole Steakburger with Bacon. Instead of fries, I decided on trying their Beef Vegetable Soup (which was a bit too salty). After, we ended up getting some fries anyway.
