The Fattest City in the Fattest State in the Fattest Country in the Whole Fat World


That would be Houston, Texas. We drove over there Saturday to see my sis-in-law and her husband. So, what did we do? We ate! Let's see, Saturday evening was Alladin's. I got the vegetable sampler which had like 12 or 15 things on it. It was fantastic. Afterwards we went to see Kinky Boots. I would say it's okay, but not what I would call great. It's a comedy about a shoe maker and a drag queen. There are some funny parts, but it was way too predictable. I didn't pick the movie by the way.

The next morning it was breakfast at Spanish Flower (the name reminds me of Spanish Fly). It was very good Mexican food. Then, later we went to church with the in-laws. They're Catholic and we've been to the same service with them several times. The services don't get any better - it still looks like a well rehearsed but poorly performed magic show. Like everyone knows their part so well that it's become routine. Robes, candles, wine, bread, holding stuff up in the air like a magician showing you there's nothing up his sleeves, assistants, procession, and so forth. The priest's homily was good though, it was about Archbishop Oscar Romero who was killed by death squads in El Salvador.

After church of course it was time to eat again. This time we went to Nidda's Thai Restaurant. I thought it was very good and so did the Goddess.

We left Houston about 9:30 in the morning so no more eating. Oh well.
