today was a particularly challenging day. i think most of us had too much fun at happy hour that it felt like it should have been the weekend already. also, the weather was really getting to a lot of folks. close to lunch, i really wanted something nice and warm. so off it was to Bangkok @ 12.
this place is one of my favorite places for a nice indulgent lunch. their food is consistently good and always have a special of the day (meat or veggie) and a variety of other lunch specials. i've been here for dinner a few times too with some friends and all in all, feedback is always very good.
my food was very good today, although, now when i look at the picture, i'm thinking Ms. HB had the right idea with the broccoli and tofu... it looks so yummy i want to lick my monitor. (was that out loud? oh well!)
after coming back, a few meetings, and wrapping up the work for the week, it was time to head home. it was one of those evenings when again, i didn't feel like cooking but really wanted some nice, warm, comforting food. however, being ridiculously and unjustifiably lazy, i suggested chipotle. so Man and i hopped in the car... and about 2 minutes into the car ride, it really dawned on us that chipotle was just not gonna cut it. so we headed to one the best mexican place we know... El Novillero. this place has been around sacramento for over 40 years. we arrived, waited about 10 minutes (which is great for friday evening) and were then seated and ordered.
food bliss. and yes, leftovers for tomorrow.
