Fried Pickles

The family ate bagels for breakfast this morning. It left us hungry at lunch time. We wanted to go to our favorite mexican restaurant. However it was closed for the holidays. Instead I decided we should visit this chili joint that Momko likes. They serve up chili mac. The real reason we like it is that they have fried pickle appetizers.

To start, Little Kat and I tried to order Doctor Pepper. The dude who took our drinks said they only had home brewed root beer. Later we felt ripped off as we found there was no free refills for root beer. They did bring out the fried pickles quickly. They disappeared and we had to order another round of them. We learned also that you could order chili mac with different kinds of chili split up on your plate.

There were some other things that were disappoint in addition to the single glass root beer. Momoko had to ask them for some corn bread. Pop pop did not get any corn bread himself. His meal was also lacking in corn chips (frito chili pie). They did not keep our drinks filled. Service was not awful. But it was not good either. The waitress got a little more than a 10 percent tip. We were generous at that.

Kit Kat drove half of the family home. Momoko and I went back to the college to spy the site where Kit Kat graduates tomorrow. We identified the way to get to handicapped access for a drop off. We also surveyed the distant parking lots where I will park the car. Then we sped home to find that Kit Kat left us to swim with her friends at the local pool. Little Kat wanted to go, but he had too much work to do. I took a nap. Later I found that Little Kat did the same.
