A Trip

I went to visit Suzanne in Dallas last weekend.  I had a great time.  It is always a broadening experience to hang around the big city.

We shopped at a Whole Foods market while I was there.  Even though we have one in St. Louis there were a few differences.  First off they have a wine bar in the store instead of a coffee bar.  And the selection of fresh herbs was a bit broader.  They also obviously prefer their organic customers to the rest of us less broad minded individuals.  

We also went out to eat.  My request was a Mexican restaurant.  I sent this picture back to Mike.  We do not eat much Mexican in Illinois for obvious reasons.  So I was enjoying my first Margarita in awhile.  You can see in Texas they believe bigger is better.  

Suzanne hangs around with coffee connoisseurs.  The only Starbucks I went to was in the airport.  We checked out a lot of different coffee places, two of which roasted their own beans.  I decided I had to be adventurous too.  So when I saw the coffee of the day was Rose Spice Latte I had to try.  I drank the whole thing but I think if this opportunity comes up again I will pass.  It even came with an edible flower.  

I also went to a restaurant that served English Pub food and had fish n'chips for the first time in my life.  They were really good.  I wonder if I can make them at home in my new Air Fryer?  

So if I can not live in the big city maybe I can bring some of these items to me.  Maybe I will start by raising edible flowers.
