I’ll be surprised if I don’t weigh 500 pounds soon, with the quantities of yummy food I have eaten in the past few days.
Last night I went with some of the guys to Lone Star Steakhouse on Wolf Rd. in Albany. The service was very good, unlike the bad experience there in Durham over the summer! (we waited like an hour after we had sat down just to get drinks! and this was during the work day…haha.) Anyway, we had 2 frickin appetizers, Bloomin’ Onion and Cheese Fries! I could not restrain myself. THEN there was a divine garden salad and that warm bread that you cut yourself… and finally my main course, a 6-oz filet and a 1/2 rack of ribs. AGIAGA! I was so full I barely fit in my pants I feel. So yummy.
After Lone Star we went to Dr. Java’s (is that what it’s called?!) also on Wolf Rd. to get some chai, of course. That was a cool place, we thought it was in a house at first. It had cool decorations, red walls and interesting works of art everywhere (lots of collage/painting things… note to self: try that medium sometime). The chai there was very milky, much better than the almost sickeningly sweet (but CHEAP!) chai from Dunkin’ Donuts. Speaking of chai, Oak just received a shipment of a very large quantity of Oregon Chai concentrates in assorted flavors. Fellow chai consumers: perhaps we should start a site on all the chais of the capital region?! It would be educational for all.
Continuing on the food topic, I made post here about the Apricot-Orange Chicken Picadillo that Laura and I made today. Who knew salsa, apricot, orange concentrate, cinnamon, and chicken would mix so well? Lup Lup!
