A Dog's Life

    Technically this a guest post by my dog, Dexter.  Dexter is an almost 2 year-old snoring, snorting, drooling, bellyrub-loving English Bulldog. If you don't know what it's like to own an English Bulldog here is a crash course:  You just bought an overweight senior citizen.  At least from a medical bill standard.  We have paid for this puppy 10 times over.  Is he worth it?  Just look at that face.

    Since we moved to New Braunfels we have been fixtures at Fischer Veterinary Clinic.  Not because Dexter has had too many issues, but because we can do everything there.  We buy his specialty food, get his medicine, check ups and even his hypo-allergenic treats.  Trust me folks,  I am vet connoisseur and this is the place to be.  Their prices are very reasonable, the staff is friendly and the Doctors are wonderful!  One weekend on our way out of town, our little Dexter boy got the beginnings of a rash and we were able to zoom by and pick up the prescription after a 1 minute phone call.  I LOVE these guys!

     Pop by their Facebook page and give them a well deserved thumbs up.  I already have.

    Feel free to stop us if you see us walking in Landa Park.  We're all very Friendly!

An Ode to Chicken Salad

    My brother-in-law came up with the fabulous idea to be a Lenten Vegan.  I hopped right onboard with both feet.  Obviously, in my bandwagoning 
excitement I forgot I live in Texas.  In fact, when I posted my plan to Facebook my entire extended family jumped in their trucks and headed to the post office to ship me steaks.  

    I truly appreciated the sentiment, but what I am really missing is the Three Salad Plate from Cafe Comal in New Braunfels.  I'm sure you're thinking: "You silly Vegan you can still have salad!"  And yes, two of the three salads are vegan friendly (Broccoli Salad and Fruit Salad, both YUM) but what I really miss is their Chicken Salad.  I'm actually dreaming about it.  

    If chicken salad doesn't ring your bell, they have other great options.  My dad, who commonly refers to himself as the night mayor of Gruene, loves their meatloaf.  My husband, possibly the tallest foodie you will ever meet at 6'10",  raves about their chopped steak.  Also, their macaroni and cheese has bacon in it.  Yes, you read that right, BACON!  The other plus for you ladybugs out there is that there is an antique shop in the same building.  You can literally browse from the table with a mouth full of food. I love it!

    Their website is http://www.cafecomal.com or you can follow the link higher on the page to give them a thumbs up on Facebook.

   I would have posted a picture of my favorite Three Salad Plate but I have yet to not begin eating as the plate is set on the table.  I'll do better next time.  Maybe.  In the meantime, here is an antique Model T from the store inside the restaurant.  

   Talk to you guys again soon!
