A Sign Of The Times . . .
We were on the road up to Webster about 12:45, heading for long-time favorite King Food for lunch. But that included a drive-by of the new Pho Barr location to see if they were open yet. But no luck.
Looks like they’re still waiting on their final inspection.
So King Food it was.
King Food holds a special place in our lives. It was where I ate with my new co-workers my very first day at my new job at Johnson Space Center on December 18, 1978. And it was so good that I took the family there a couple of nights later.
It was that good.
But it was a few years before Chris and Brandi were ready to enjoy the food there. At that time Chris was 10 and Brandi was 5, so we had to stop off at Burger King for a Kid’s Meal for each of them. But finally they tasted what we were eating, and from then on, we had to share.
So now we’ve been eating here for more than 43 years, and we’re on our 4th owner. And the menu has never really changed.
I guess it was a Sign of the Times when they brought out the menus.
This is what you have to do when you’ve got a fancy 10 page printed menu.
As usual, we started off with bowls of their delicious Hot & Sour Soup. So good that we’ve compared all other versions as we’ve eaten around the country, and King Food’s always comes out on top.
Then we moved on to our usual Chicken in Hot Garlic Sauce with added Jalapenos, Fried Rice, and an Egg Roll.
After lunch, Harbor Freight was our next quick stop for a couple of tools, and then a nearby UPS store Amazon return drop-off, before heading home.
A nice day.
Tomorrow night, we’ve got the Alvin Opry once again, so there may not be much of a blog Friday night since we get home so late. And this time our tickets include a BBQ Sandwich dinner. Looking forward to seeing all our friends again.
Then Sunday we’re driving up to the Katy area to meet Brandi, et al., at their Pho Barr location, before heading back to their house for a while.
It will be our Easter get-together since they’re going to be up in Oklahoma with Lowell’s parents on Easter weekend.
Thought For The Day:
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree, but to still hold hands.
