Outback salads, Coney Island dogs loaded

Tonight since we have eaten way too much the last few days. Had a great "small " dinner after dropping off a carload of kids at Tinseltown. I had an outback side chopped blue cheese salad and grilled spicy snowpeas , Gerald had a side Caesar salad and a loaded baked potato. One beer for him and a bottled water for me . Total bill $15.82. Not bad for a quiet evening.

At lunch today--West monroe coney Island in downtown. Loaded down with chili and onions on the hotdogs , yummy and the world's hottest fries.
And yes an antacid chaser.

Taste of the Twin Cities

Taste of the Twin Cities had a record crowd this year and the food was good where we could get in to try. Dankin' Trail did a fried barb eggroll that was great . Vic and Jenni Hendricks came for Cypress Inn with Etouffee. Barbq west had a line that just kept on all night. BBQ WEst is always the most popular.

O'Charleys did a strawberry lemonaide that they sell there . it was wonderful . Very few places had anything to drink. Next year that is something they need to look into .

Kaylas had her bread pudding and the cream cheese with a pica pepper sauce.

I had a media ticket so we got in quickly, but we were also out by 45 minutes later and on our way home.
