That's what I eat too.. Laura\'s Natural and Lean Beef..

At Frankie Rowlands, an upscale steakhouse in Roanoke. And I didn't have to pay for it either. For awhile, all of the Domino's in town were having a contest to see who ran the best numbers. Whichever store won, all the employees got taken out to eat by the owner to Corned Beef and Company, which had very good food. But the first time, our store happened to have run the best numbers for 3 months in a row, so he took us across the street to FR which was owned by the same people as CB&C (they also happened to be good friends of his). I think the steak I had that night was 20 oz. and by itself cost $28. Garlic mashed Yukon gold potatoes $6, lobster bisque $6, and sauteed mixed mushrooms $5. Plus a beer to start it all off and wine with dinner plus 2 whole lobsters for everybody at our table to share and chocolate cake for dessert. OMG, that was the best meal of my life.

OMG..I guess!!
My boyfriend and I are headin' to Toronto to the Home and Garden Show. We're already searchin' for a restaurant to stop at. Debating between Thai, Mexican or like you said, "an upscale steakhouse". So many decisions. Lobster sounds real good!

Yeah, at first I was disappointed we weren't going to the Thai restaurant this evening, but as it turned out, I had a great meal anyway.

I think maybe the next trip to Charlotte will have to be an overnighter so we can eat at Thai Marlai and visit Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden and some of the other gardens in and around Charlotte.

Check out this menu, Christina:

Thai Marlai

But there's a line in one of the Cowboy Junkie's recordings . . .

It's from a song called To Live is to Fly - by Townsend, I think.

Is anyone planning on going to the flower show in Boston next weekend? http://www.masshort.org/ We went last year and it was fantastic! They had a lot of displays, and they were all beautiful. We're making a mini-vacation out of it. We're 3 hours away, so we're leaving Friday morning, going to the Celtics game Friday night, and then the flower Show and Childrens' Museum Saturday and Sunday. I'm getting so excited--I can't wait!

This is what I picked up at the CT flower Show last weekend:
