We drove in with our friends, Joseph and Dianne, for the first time since we retired, inside the loop of Houston, Texas for an errand and had lunch at a great restaurant "Block 7 Wine Company" http://www.block7winco.com/ .
Block 7 is a wine store and restaurant. You can buy a bottle of wine in the store and drink it at your table.
We decided on a "tapas" style lunch. We shared the following:
Flatbread - "The Whole Pig" housemade Italian sausage, prosciutto San Danielle, smoked bacon
Braised Duck & Goat Cheese Ravioli with a wild mushroom broth
Crispy Au Gratin Tots, 5 cheeses, thin sliced Idaho potatoes, rolled in bread crumbs and deep fried
Rabbit Sausage with Brussels Sprout Leaves and a whole grain honey mustard sauce
Croque Monsieur Sandwich (cut in 4 pieces) country ham, raclette, béchamel, local brioche
The food was fabulous and it was a beautiful day, sunny and warm.

Edward and I had some business to tend to in Houston. A Second time already!
We had lunch near the Galleria area at Kenny and Ziggy's New York Style Deli http://www.kennyandziggys.com/
Everything is BIG here. See the picture of Edward having a Monte Cristo Sandwich. It must have been about 6 inches high - triple decker, ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese on Challah French toast w/syrup and strawberry jam and fries. I had the Dip Tracy - French Dip, roast beef on a club roll (the size of a football, well almost) with aujus. We each had to get a to go box - way too much food.
