    No cooking here as my neighbor and I are heading out to "Texas
    Roadhouse" restaurant.

    My first time there and I've peeked at their menu online and of
    course everything looks great. I'll give a report either tonight
    or Wednesday.

    Where would y'all be without your chains?

    I would say prison, but that's not the right answer.

    We shared a blooming onion except they call it cactus bites or
    something like that. Very, very good thankfully not that greasy.

    I opted for seasoned rice, meh, it could have been a lot better.
    Green beans were good but a tad too greasy and too much liquid
    in the bowl.

    Rolls were ok, but my main gripe with the bread is I don't like
    the tops buttered. That just means greasy fingers. The cinnamon
    butter served with it was quite good.

    But the New York sirloin was superb!! Perfectly cooked to medium
    rare, very tender, and very flavorful. It was topped with sauteed
    onions and mushrooms. Mmmmmmmmm

    My neighbor got a huge thick cheeseburger with all the trimmings.
    She opted for seasoned steak fries, and she said they drool worthy.
    It also came with a very large quarter sliced dill pickle.

    I spent the afternoon making marmalade so it'll be lentil soup from

    My wife has done most of the shopping here and, having difficulty with
    citrus, I don't spend much time looking at oranges or other citrus
    fruits. As a result, I completely missed the Seville orange if or when
    they hit to local stores.  Despite my citrus issues, I had been
    considering making a batch of marmalade. I would have got a million
    brownie points from my wife. She likes it as much as I do.

    Later today I intend buying a large bag of lemons at Superstore
    (Loblaws) to make lemon and lavender marmalade - a personal
    favourite.

    That sounds interesting. It's funny how polarizing marmalade can be. It
    is sort of like lamb where people love it or hate it.

    My only experience has been with store bought orange marmalade and first
    ever jar was bought in Florida decades ago. It was *extremely* tart and
    next try was one bought here, and it was a 'sweet' orange marmalade. Far
    too sweet for me, almost sickeningly sweet.
