I have been doing some flying just to stay current but until I get a medical, I can't do much more that fly to stay current (that is muscle memory current). That said, all I can do is wait. I talked to the FAA last week and they were reviewing my case that day.
I want to shift gears a little bit and do some changes here. I'd like to make this a little more broad than just flying. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I like to eat. So in my flying journeys, one of the criteria for flying somewhere is usually food, no, good food. I may run into some place around here that maybe some other pilots might like to visit so I'd like to talk about some of those adventures too.
Since we are on the subject of food, we decided that we wanted to start the new year out visiting someplace new. I like to watch Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on the Food Network. We have been looking for some local places that Guy has visited and we came across the Twisted Root Burger Co.
We decided to head out for a New Years Day lunch there. If you want a good burger from a couple of guys who went to culinary school, then this is the place for you. They season and press the patties every day along with making their own root beer, chipotle ketchup, BBQ sauce and pickles. My wife loves pickles and could not stop eating them. She had the cheeseburger and I had a regular burger. We both loved the burgers and curly fries (made fresh every day too). Anna had a grilled cheese sandwich (no surprise). I ended up finishing off her grilled cheese for her and it was awesome.
If you are ever in the Richardson or Deep Ellum area, you have to give this a try. I've linked to the websites in case you want to check it out.
Happy eating.
