Mild headache all day yesterday that I know was a migraine because OTC meds didn't do one thing. Went to sleep early, woke up, headache worse. Have applied caffeine and Relpax to it, am waiting for it to GO AWAY.

And hopefully STAY AWAY, as tonight is the annual Carnivore Stimulus Package Night where several of my friends get together and as a general Christmas present, buy a bunch of us dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse. If you haven't been to one (Fogo del Chao, Tejas de Brazil, etc.), they run on the same general lines: Meat. Lots of it. Neverending. You get waiters carrying around large skewers of cuts of meat, cooked in various ways, and they come to your table and carve bits off onto your plate. You have a little card at your plate with red on one side and green on the other. When the green side is up, they'll keep coming by. When the red side is up, because you're busy eating or want to slow down or are about to explode or whatever, they don't come around.

I've never been to Tejas de Brazil before. I've been to Fogo a few times. They say the salad bar is excellent, but we wouldn't know. :)

A bit of lettuce can be nice as a foil for the savory... but the bread and heavier potato salads, no way!

Bring home some chicken livers for the cats!

My friend calls Brazilian barbecue 'the meat faucet' because you can get hot and cold running meat. I love them, but only every once in a while.

Enjoy!

Rafain, up in Addison, is actually my favorite. Not only do they have better fried plantains, they also have a DESSERT BAR in addition to the Meatstravaganza and the salad bar.

'tis awesome.

They closed down our local cheaper one of those (Green Fields). I am so sad! The Young Lady called it "the meat restaurant" when she was small.

(How is your head doing now?)

Head is better now, no pain, but I've got a triptan hangover which means I am ... blah. No motivation, nothing. I'd sit here and stare at nothing way too easily. It'll pass, but .. blah.

Nothing like a never ending river of meat! Good luck on the headache

*Grump* I totally forgot that that was on Saturday. I got a free meal anyways, as I spent time with my family, but still, it'd have been nice to see everyone.

We were wondering why you didn't show! Ah well.
