Walkabout 2010: Day 1 Pregame

Woohoo! Although my flight was originally departing from Terminal C, it got changed to the new and swanky Terminal D. More preflight food and booze options!

Thankfully I got a ride to the airport since my American Airlines iPhone app tells me my return flight arrives in Terminal C and thus won't have to deal with interterminal transportation. Has anyone ever had an American flight that departed and arrived at the same terminal? I guess they're too busy figuring out new method of assraping their passengers with ticky-tack fees to get that action item to the completed state.

I got here in plenty of time for a beer and late lunch at Reata. Mmmm Sam Adams Boston Lager. Probably the most pedestrian beer I'll drink for the next 16 days.

Quick review: If you want to pay $20 for a meal on a meal similar in quality to Taco Cabana, then Reatta in Terminal D is for you. The beef fajita meat is the same mushy proceed cow that TC specializes in. Oh and if you want tortillas with your carne asada, that's an extra $1.50. At least the 22oz beer was cold.

And The People Rejoiced: Green Room Opens Today, and We Have the Menus

---

​The Green Room, the Deep Ellum legend that's back in business as of this afternoon, has put quail eggs and halibut cheeks on its elegant opening menu.

---

But it's unlikely The Green Room's most ardent fans will ever order many of the announced dishes, since the "Feed Me" option's back: For $47 -- or $68 with wine -- guests get "a unique four-course menu" created specifically for the table.

---

While there are plans to add brunch and lunch service, the Green Room is now open Tues.-Sat., 5 p.m.-11 p.m. For reservations, e-mail reservations@greenroomdallas.com. Check out the opening menus on the next page.

Uchiko: The Pictures

Admittedly, these pictures are not the best.  One of the many things the iPhone does not do well is take pictures indoors.  But thanks to the miracle of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, I was able to make them semi-presentable.

PBJ 2010 Pix

With a pulled groin and sandy mangina sidelining me, the best way for me to pass the time while waiting for the sweet release of death to free me from the stifling heat and humidity in College Station was to try my hand at sports photography.  Although I did get a few good shots, I can’t help but think I need a longer lens.  But instead, I may just buy a Porsche.

OH MY GOD. Single Rainbow

Thanks to Noodles not dropping my iPhone out the car window, we got these sweet pix of a rainbow coming back from College Station.

I guess this means we’re back together.  Now please try not to fuck it up this time.
