Dinner Dinner Dinner
After a long day of set-up it was time for dinner and with this group there's two things that we will always eat....Wings & Asian, hands down no argument...between the smartphones, tablets, Urbanspoon & Zagat we usually end with a restaurant that doesn't disappoint.
Last night it was House of Chan...wow..in all my years of traveling up and down Cobb Parkway I never knew tucked away in this strip mall was Chan's. The place is small and seats maybe 30 but the food was amazing. The hot and sour soup was delicious, the BBQ ribs we had for an appetizer hit the spot. The double cooked chicken had a light plum sauce on it. Someone ordered the Egg Foo Young (I hadn't even thought of Egg Foo Young since my Mom made it in the 70's) and they were monstrous patties. The wait staff was spot on with refills of water and tea.
The bill for 5 of us was $92.00.

Hey TSA!
It has been a while since I've written to you Here Here and Here that's a bunch of links to click on and the reading is lengthy and if you travel with any regularity the links contain no surprises. I know that everyone has a "Pile On" mentality when it comes to bad mouthing you and I'm not going to bring anything up about "Babies on the No Fly List" or your "Elderly Screening Procedures"....(more lengthy reading).......
I'm going to give you a suggestion, take it, leave it, ignore it....this is free, there's no "Focus Group" to pay for, no survey to put up on the web...nothing.... Have some consistency! In the last 2 months I've traveled through TSA security points at no less than 8 different airports and every one of them has had different rules on where to stand...behind the yellow line or not behind the yellow line.....wait till you are acknowledged to come forward or move forward as soon as the passenger in front of you is done......do my shoes go in a bucket or directly on the belt......do I need to keep my boarding pass in my hand or can I put away once it's been checked? Other than the published rules about removing your laptop and your 3oz or less liquids from your luggage there's nothing written down for us to follow (oh yeah no guns).....and then get this! when we don't follow your un-published rules your employees try and humiliate us by raising their voice and talking down to us.....just a few ideas for you....and oh yeah the TSA guy in Atlanta with the bad comb-over working the right side of the screening lanes...he's not funny.....I guess the wheels came his comedy career...but him yelling at us to move up behind the lovely lady with the backpack that won't bite...or....him telling us that there's four lanes when only two of them are defined and that WE are not paying attention....really isn't funny and the act gets old real quick. I went through his lane twice in the last two weeks.

Caveman Meatloaf
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef (you may substitute with ground pork);
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt;
- 1 tsp ground black pepper;
- 1 egg;
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped;
- 2 cups white button mushrooms, finely chopped;
- 1 tsp chili pepper flakes;
- 3 tsp fresh thyme, minced;
- 1 tsp fresh oregano, minced;
- 3 cloves garlic, minced;
- ½ cup homemade ketchup;
- 1 tbsp honey, optional;
- ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce, optional;
- 1 tbsp paleo cooking fat;

- In a medium sized skillet placed over a medium heat, melt the cooking fat, add the mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until soft.
- In a large bowl, combine the meat, salt, pepper, egg, onion, mushrooms, chili pepper, thyme, oregano and garlic. Mix well, makng sure to break-up the meat. Add the cooked mushrooms as well. It’s very important that the mushrooms are evenly distributed to ensure the loaf bonds well.

- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine ketchup, honey and Worcestershire sauce to make the sauce for the top of the meatloaf.

Tobu
After almost two weeks of a strict "Caveman" diet it was time to venture out for a treat.....tucked in the back of a close to death shopping center we found Tobu Japanese restaurant. Dinner started with Crab Ragoon which were wrapped thinly and you were able to actually see the crab....some of the best Crab Ragoon that I've ever tasted. Salads came with a warm peanut sauce dressing which we ended up eating right out of the dish. I ordered the Cashew Chicken and traded the Jasmine rice for steamed vegetables while my dining partner feasted on Red Curry Chicken including the heart shaped Jasmine rice. It's worth a return trip.
