Yet Another Food Post!
More really good news: Not only are we getting a Sonic, we’re getting a new Mongolian Grill two blocks away from the Sonic. I think God wants me to get really fat. There’s this Mongolian Grill in Tacoma that I use to go to in high school and through my college years that I absolutely loved, and it was seriously my favorite restaurant ever. However, as time has gone on, the quality of the establishment, from the cleanliness of the bathrooms to the overall appearance of the place has deteriorated. When I was pregnant with Sammy I even got food poisoning there. After one last visit almost two years ago in which the water tasted funny and all I could see was a dirty fish tank, we decided to never go back. Which wasn’t too bad, since Andrew was working up in Lynnwood and there’s a great one up there. He would often swing by after work and pick up food to go. So yummy. Now Andrew is working in Kent and is far from that Mongolian Grill, so I haven’t had a fix in a while. There is one down in the Puyallup Valley off River Road that is alright, but we rarely find ourselves down in that area since we have almost everything we need on the hill. So, when my mom mentioned that she thought the other new plaza was getting in a Mongolian Grill, I started hoping… and today I actually drove by and saw the sign! I’m just hoping that it will be good… since these are not chains they vary so widely from restaurant to restaurant, but I’m really hoping that this one will be good because I know if it is I’ll be a very frequent customer!!!
I too have fond memories of the Grill in Tacoma that we visited with you and the boys (including Andrew). But be careful what you wish for!!! This could have very serious implications for your entire life . . . Just can’t imagine you FAT and with the dreaded fat gene on the Flanagan side imagine your sons (maybe even daughters – who knows????) (LOL)
Isn’t it amazing how food can evoke a flood of memories . . . maybe that’s why God encourages us to show hospitality to others – to draw us closer to them and through them to himself also. Speaking of which, your own cooking brings back some great memories for me!!
