chillumpuffer Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Took Mrs CP for a full English this morning as she is playing in her Lady Captains Golf Day. Small village emporium which was delish. No food until dinner for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebk Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 So glad you got to Goode Co, Strider. One of my fondest memories of Houston!! Also loved Buffalo Grille for breakfast. Looks like you had some fine food there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 So glad you got to Goode Co, Strider. One of my fondest memories of Houston!! Also loved Buffalo Grille for breakfast. Looks like you had some fine food there! Yes, indeed. There was more that I didn't photograph...the Jambalaya and jalapeño cornbread at Ragin' Cajun...the watermelon sorbet with fresh blueberries and raspberries at Marble Slab...the organic grass-fed beef burgers and creamy shakes at Elevation Burgers(they also have two vegan burger options)...my final breakfast in Houston at The Breakfast Klub(although, given the buzz and hype we had heard about this place, it was slightly disappointing). Best of all, the yummy sliders we had at Angie's that her husband cooked...two varieties: cajun and cheddar and bacon and cheddar. A nice cheese and cracker spread, salad, red velvet cupcakes. To top it off, between all of us, there were at least 4 or 5 different bottles of wine to drink...Angie's Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc and a French Red that I can't recall, Melanie's Malbec, a German Riesling I brought. I think there was a Penguin Chardonnay from Australia, too...but I had about 8 glasses of wine, so my memory might be cloudy. Wine...oh, wonderful wine.

Texas Melanie Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 ^^^^^^ Damn straight! Ya'll don't come to Texas and not leave without eating well.

It certainly would have, but I am carpooling tonight after our towns fireworks display. I sat this year out as my back has been bothering me and it looked like rain..so I will go pick up the girls soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chillumpuffer Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It was the CP's 18th wedding anniversary yesterday so I took the fair lady to a pub eatery a couple of villages down from CP towers. We had eaten there a few years ago and it was beyond awful and as it has changed hands we decided to give it another go. Well it was fantastic. As food as good as this in a bus journey away? Too much. Anyway this is was what was served. Mrs CP started with a beetroot, blue cheese and walnut risotto and myself a roast pigeon breast with Bury black pudding croquettes and a wonderful fennel coleslaw 2 Glasses of excellent Chilean Chardonnay accompanied the starters Mains: Mrs CP chose roast filet of Hake, chorizo, parsley new potatoes and a delightful cream sauce Myself: I kept the fowl theme going and had Duck. A roast breast and a great confit leg with a hint of Chinese spice. Served on a bed of Pak Choi and broad beans. A New Zealand Pinot Noir was the wine of choice. Sweet: Both had a Lemon Grass Crème Brulee. Which was historic. It was a lovely evening so we strolled to the next village listening to the song birds singing away and caught the bus back. It wasn't cheap. A shade over a hundred of our crispest English pounds, but to be honest this kind of food is usually found in the metropolis and not in the country villages. A perfect gastronomic delight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Lao sticky rice and salmon. By the way, anyone looking for the best Lao restaurant in Canada, a place in Ottawa called Thai Flame owned by some former Lao folks, is the best place to eat. Really hard finding the place, in an odd location, but GREAT food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
