We
couldn’t get over our pizza being shaped like an eye, kind of oval with pointed ends. Istanbul Grill in
Houston’s Rice Village had outdoor seating and available parking, so that was
our quick pick for a culinary adventure to tide us over for a luncheon appointment
at an undetermined time. We chose wisely. “Hospitality is our nature,” the card
reads. The pizza was cheesy and rich with perfect crust. Everyone else’s
choices on the patio looked just as tempting.
“The
Great Big Body Book”
Little
ones may love sweets, but later we may prefer olives or coffee. We should keep
fit and also look for the big-eared cat on each page of “The Great Big Body
Book.” With reminders that even the Queen was a baby, mums, spelling of the
word “colour” and references to dreaded teen spots (facial interruptions),
grownups can pick up that Mary Hoffman and Ros Asquith have British ties. They
wrote and illustrated this colorful, educational and politically correct book
for wee ones. The cat was a super-cute touch I’d say. It’s a good one for
foodie parents to have on hand to remind us that food is fuel for our wonderful
bodies. I’ll close with the book’s opening joke:
“Why
didn’t the skeleton go to the disco?”
“He
had NO BODY to dance with!”
Not
going back for that Jack
You
know that commercial for the Jack in the Box Brewhouse Bacon Burger? Where Jack
is in disguise by wearing a big hipster moustache? My husband and I think that
commercial is hilarious. It seduced me to try one of those burgers. The
commercial was immensely better, we thought. About a year ago we tried a Buttery Jack and liked that
pretty good. This new one reminds me why I avoid fast food restaurants.
