Bento Xpert

The recent post on Facebook's Milwaukee Foodie group about Meat on the Street inspired my wife and I to check it out, but despite what Google says its storefront inside the food court at 1125 N 9th St was closed today. Rather than waste the trip we dined at the stall next door, Bento Xpert. My wife had the beef brisket plate, served with rice, vegetables, and an optional eggroll. I ordered General Tso chicken, which again came with rice and veggies, but I chose the braised egg as my side.

The food was served on actual plates, tho with plastic cutlery, and two meals and 3 drinks was $26. The chicken was fresh, moist breast meat, and the beef was fall apart tender. The sides were pretty standard fare.
Was it the best food we've ever ordered? No. But was it tasty, well presented casual dining? Yes. Go check it out.

Yup

Every time I've heard someone say "I'm a pretty normal person" they turn out to, in fact, not be a pretty normal person.

This Years Ornaments

We acquired 5 new ornaments this year. They hang on our second (memory) tree.  

L-R. Snowflake from Frozen, Hoan from YaYa's bf Alex, MJ hat from Cirque du Soleil's ONE (Mandalay Bay), Titanic ship of dreams (Luxor), and orange couch from Friends exhibit in Chicago for my 47th bday.

Lisa loves the memories ornaments bring!

A Christmas Present from YaYa - Family Update #1

For Christmas my oldest daughter Grace - known here as YaYa in her youth, when the anonymity of the kids was vital - compiled a series of updates for this blog, each showcasing the recent events of our lives. I hope you enjoy!!


Dan & Lisa


Both Dan & Lisa have had a busy year. 


They celebrated their 25th anniversary in Las Vegas, a long overdue trip that they enjoyed very much.


Dan finally shaved his hair, and Melissa treated herself to trendy haircuts and microbladed brows. 



The Tradition Continues

Daddy's on Bluemound

My wife and I were lucky enough to enjoy both breakfast and lunch at Daddy's on Bluemound yesterday. The breakfast platters are affordable, tasted wonderful and are very large (we split a breakfast and were full - and I'm a big boy.) For lunch the BLT was ok but nothing special, but the catfish - breaded with cornmeal and served with fries - my oh my, I'd order that as my last meal on Earth.
