Big Guy took me out on a date last night with every intention of chowing down at our favorite place, The Parish; however, we're not the only lucky ones that have caught on to the little treasure. We were too hungry to wait an hour or more for a table, especially watching the vacated tables, any one of which we thought may have our name on it, end up with a reserved sign while we continued to wait. A sad fact, but obviously true that even regular patrons get kicked to the curb if they don't make reservations. After a half hour we gave up and moved on to plan B - The Jade Garden.
Located in a local strip mall not far from our house, The Jade Garden has recently undergone re-decoration which has taken care of the previously old and rather shabby interior. Thankfully, the food hasn't changed because it's absolutely the best - a mix of various authentic Chinese foods, cooked superbly with a lot of TLC.
Unfortunately we've no pictures to show because we didn't bring a camera ...that's a good reason isn't it? We'll catch you all tomorrow with more antics; meanwhile, here's hoping you all have a super Saturday!
A year ago - Salmon with Mango Salsa
Two year's ago - Bacon and Green Chile Pie
Even you get to take a day off from cooking. :)

I know - I'm so spoiled. In fact, I'm so incredibly spoiled Big Guy's got 4 slabs of bacon in the smoker as we speak, and 2 rolls of pancetta dryin' in wine fridge. Lucky eh!
