S is for Simmi / And Sunder, her sweet husband / And the Sheraton!
Note on picture: This is a cool hologram on the floor of the lobby of the Gunter Sheraton in San Antonio, Texas where we spent a holiday recently. To walk in and see this lovely S beckoning you inside to the reception desk was quite a nice way to be greeted!
So, I recently was a tourist in the charming city of San Antonio, Texas. There’s a long river that runs right through the city which is one of the most charming things about the city itself because it runs below street-level but is flanked on either side by shops, restaurants and hotels. We, of course, had to do the requisite boat-ride, and here’s some of the sights from the boat:
So, if you want the freshest middle-eastern food with a decidedly Israeli flavor to it, you have to go to Haifa Falafel. On the southeast side of town, this little restaurant has been in business for less than two years but has become a huge favorite with people coming in from as far as Detroit for their simple but elegant dishes.

So, have you made them ever? Onion Rings, that is. The quintessential finger-food that is oh-so-satisfying, grease and all, and made even more perfect on a Friday night when you can kick back and say, “It’s Friday night, and everything’s all right!” Well, alright, maybe not EVERYthing, but you know what I mean. See for yourself my idea of serving up Onion Rings, each one a work of art, not to mention the crispiest and tastiest bite ever!
