Dinner: We had our meal at IKEA where we split the Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and side of macaroni and cheese, Greek Salad, chicken tenders with fries, and a slice of chocolate cake.

The cost of the meal (~$20) was deducted from our purchases that day (because that was the special they were running on that weekend), so we ended up getting a couple bookshelves with a nice discount.

Lunch: Wolfed down some dumplings before going to watch Celebrity Autobiography.

Dinner: Fire Bowl Cafe for a quick dinner.

Lunch: I made a breakfast sandwich of smoked salmon, sauteed arugula, and fried egg on English muffin.

Dinner: I made a pork chop (brined for 8 hours, sous vide at 60°C with dried rosemary and thyme, then grilled briefly - it was flavorful, but I think next time I'll sous vide at 57°C). Tina sauteed collard greens. And I toasted some sliced English muffins with olive oil and herbs.

Dinner: Costco Polish Sausage. I also ate about half of Tina's and half of a churro.

Dinner: Tina made sausage, potato, and kale soup for dinner.

Lunch: We tried a place that was new to us - Fire Bowl Cafe (5601 Brodie Ln # 550, Sunset Valley, TX (512) 795-8998) which reminds me of Martin Yan's fast food chain - Yan Can. They take a mix of vegetables and preset meats and stir-fry with premade sauces. I started with an order of potstickers. They tasted like average frozen dumplings but at least they were not mushy like most of the Asian pan fried dumplings we get in town.

Then I had Chicken and Beef combination stir fried with Spring Veggie Mix, Hunan Black Bean Sauce, and Chow Fun. It was a little over sauced so it was a little salty.

Lunch: Cottage Pie with Green Beans

Dinner: Mighty Fine Burgers - Jr. Cheeseburger with Bacon and Grilled Jalapenos and Fries. I'm liking Mighty Fine's burgers more and more, but I think they might make the best fries around.

Dinner: We had dinner at Azul Tequila (4211 South Lamar Blvd # A2, Austin, TX (512) 416-9667) where I started with their Ceviche Costeño.

Then I had the Taco Salad.
