So, I'll start off this blog post by saying that our family has many traditions. If there's one thing that we like to do, it's uphold family traditions.
Once per year, I go in to get my eyes checked on (at Dr. Richard Ebling, who is terrific might I add). For the most part, in every year since about 2000 we go over to the Cheesecake Factory over at the Houston Galleria after the appointment. Wednesday was no different.
As usual it is always a wonderful time and my meal - oh my goodness, talk about to die for.
I am however saddened that Mother's lunch didn't turn out so great. She had their lunch special, a Hawaiian lunch size pizza and from my understanding it didn't sound like it came out too great. It's always sad to me when any sort of pizza doesn't turn out great as I've had pizza at all different kinds of places.
However, my lunch was nothing short of amazing. Of course when you're at the Cheesecake Factory, you have cheesecake and theirs is always amazing. When in Rome, you do as the Romans do.
But the main course - Fettucine with sun dried tomatoes and a sun dried tomato/cream sauce, oh my God, what a lunch. I'd get that again any day. What really tripped me out about lunch is that all the flavors went very well together. As people well know, a lot of times you get meals where the flavors don't exactly match up and the lunch doesn't turn out so great. That was not the case on Wednesday.
As far as the cheesecake is concerned, usually I get the white chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake which is my favorite. But this time, when I saw a cheesecake based off Reese's peanut butter cups, I had to get that and oh Lord, was it ever good. I'd love to get that one again as well the next time I go.
A couple of sports matters before I close out this blog:
1. Thank God Carlos Lee is no longer a Houston Astro. The fact that former general manager Tim Purpura backed up a dump truck of money to his house back in 2007 was one of the many mistakes Mr. Purpura made. Thank God they are no longer involved with the organization.
2. Kobe Bryant, please stop talking about how the 2012 US Olympic Team could beat the 1992 Dream Team. Please win the gold medal this year first.
3. It seems that the Rockets have not given up on Dwight Howard, as a matter of fact on Twitter they are following a number of major stars now - guys like Howard, Jason Richardson and Glen "Big Baby" Davis are all accounts the Rockets Twitter account is following. It should be interesting to see where this story line leads.
