Leo's Coney Island: Our Neighborhood Coney-Island

Every neighborhood has one, I think: a small family-style diner called a Coney Island. Which is also the name of the unique hot-dog available on the menus of restaurants like these, but our recent trip to the one in our own neighborhood did not result in ordering one of those.

Instead, we got a Fish & Chips with Cole Slaw and Tartar Sauce on the side, and a Tuna Salad Sandwich on Toasted White Bread.

Simple fare, but when you’re with the ones you love, even the simplest of meals can be some of the very best!

Here’s what it all looked like!

The Boar's Head: A Chicago-Style Delicatessen

So, here’s the thing: when you go on vacation, make it good so the memories last a while. And you know what else? Share those memories with your loved ones– with your pictures and stories.

Well, here’s my latest offering of an ordinary lunch experience of a hot-dog and kettle chips during one of our fun-filled sightseeing days in San Antonio, Texas from a couple of months ago. We had stopped into this restaurant with a curious name: The Boar’s Head. And we soon discovered that the hotdogs over there were not Texas-style (whatever those might be like!); these were Chicago-style dogs!

The hotdogs were terrific as were the kettle chips that went with it. And the artwork on the walls was cool in the most intriguing way! But best of all was the company I had while chomping down on my dog: my honey, aka, my sweet husband!

Viva la Chicago-style hotdogs at the Boar’s Head!

A Soup & Croissanwich Working Lunch

So, what can you do when you forget to bring lunch? Well, you could go out to the Food-Court in the Student Union around the corner, or you could just go down to the first-floor in your own office building, where in the Atrium area, you have the FAB Cart (FAB because that’s short for Faculty/Administration Building) Monday through Thursday where you can get soups and sandwiches and other small snacks and hot and cold beverages. What a nice convenience! It’s no cafeteria; it’s only a Cart on wheels, but its packed with fresh foods everyday, and its there until 2:00 pm. Just be sure you bring cash, because unfortunately Denise won’t take your plastic!

So, what I got today was a Cream of Broccoli Soup and a Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwich. For a cold and gray day like today, it hit the spot right away! Now back to work.
