indulging

Last week, Kendra and I were craving chili cheese fries. She's pregnant so she has an excuse. I, on the other hand, am just a hungry girl. Our usual haunts include Tommy's (mine) and Lucky Boys (hers). We decided to try a new place near our shop called Sandwiches by Connal's. We usually drive by this place, only to be deterred by the long lines and cash only sign. And the fact that it's called "Sandwiches..." But we gave it a whirl and split chili cheese fries and fried zucchini.

*not like it makes a difference, but i took these with my phone:
thick homemade chili on seasoned fries. it was a bit too salty (even for me) and the chili had something of an anise seed essence. fries were great, chili was eh.

*BEST Fried Zucchini EVER. They reminded me of the ones that Farrell's used to offer. I miss Farrell's - the big birthday drums, the volcano ice cream mountain, the arcade, the candy....why did it close?!


So anyway, I won't say who, but a certain someone has been back twice since discovering this joint. The interior has a diner feel with coca cola emblems, white tile, and red vinyl upholstered chairs. They also offer lime rickeys, malts, chocolate dipped cones, and sundaes.

The other day, while reviewing their menu (and strategically planning my lunches) I discovered that they also serve breakfast. Of course I have to support the local businesses around me, so I went for breakfast. I got a veggie omelette (comes with hashbrowns, toast, and half a canned peach) for all of $5. I certainly didn't expect this:

On top of the $5 steal, you also get thick slices of avocado. Hashbrowns were made crispy - my favorite! This was the best I could do:



I think I could have done better. Practice makes perfect!
