Restaurant: District 7 Grill

501 Pierce
Houston, TX 77002

It's a good thing to have American breakfast once in awhile. The bf and I usually opt for some sort of Asian cuisine when we go out for brunch. One Sunday, I suggested District 7 Grill for a change. The food was good, but it took more than thirty minutes to come out. I'm not sure if that's how it normally is or if they were just having some kinks. Even though we had a busy schedule for the day, we waited patiently. Good thing Rhythmic Gymnastics was on or I would have been super grumpy from hunger. This place is like a little diner/trailer hybrid. It's located right where downtown meets midtown. Although the food was yummy, I just don't think it's the best choice for the first meal of the day. I just felt so sluggish after eating my two sunny-side up eggs (gotta have them runny!), french toast and sausage. Definitely not the breakfast of champions. Their country potatoes was the bf's fave.

Pros: Good food, outdoor dining available, had disposable cups and sauce containers (that means it's cleaner than your average shoddy restaurant washing technique)
Cons: Took 30 min plus for food to come out, had disposable cups and sauce containers (how wasteful!)
Double Con: One of the waiters was really sweaty and I saw him take his BARE hands and wipe his face of the sweat. GAG! Those same hands could have touched my plate of food!

Musik Mundi: Snow Patrol

My fave song from Snow Patrol's Eyes Open album was mos def NOT that Chasing Cars track. Natasha Bedingfield did a cover of that song and it was SO good and much better! Her new album isn't bad either. Maybe next week will be Natasha's week. Anyhow. So Snow Patrol. They are still a great band with such a smooth style of music. Most of the members are from Ireland but reside in Glasgow, Scotland, home of folks behind Travis! I think the best song from their new album is Make This Go On Forever which was featured in a Grey's Anatomy episode. The gooey feeling that I get when I listen to this song is the inspiration to love more. Nacho CHEESY I KNOW! It could almost pass for some yuppie Christian song. Musically. Not lyrically. Which are some good poetic-like lyrics by the way.

Paw Pals: Tino vs. Baguette Man

Tino and the Baguette Man Dunny got into a little scuffle. The little baguette guy came out victorious.

But it was a tough battle and they were both pretty wiped out in the end.
