Just in case you didn’t know.

I came across some mobile photos of my favorite mostly Florida restaurant, Tijuana Flats. I miss them. HOWEVER! I was able to order several of their hot sauces from their website… and a shirt. Why not. According to their web site, they’re no longer accepting new franchise applications due to overwhelming interest. Sigh. I guess it’ll just be a Florida treat for now in addition to Chick-fil-A.

At my most recent Weight Watchers weigh-in, today, I was down a total of 50.4lbs. Of course, that may be different now given that we had Sonic for dinner tonight. Oops. Anyway, I still have another 70 to go. I’m guessing it probably won’t go nearly as fast as the first fifty did! We’re still with Lifetime Fitness in Chanhassen and I’m going at least three times a week. That combined with eating smaller portions and getting all my water in seems to be doing the trick. We also picked up a Wii Fit a few weeks ago now and that has helped marginally with my balance and such.

This is the staging area for Minnesota’s first Sonic Drive-In. Brandy brought a book, the kids have their DVD player, I have my blog. Sigh.

The line we were in was for the stalls while the line to the left of us was for the drive-thru. Both lines moved at around the same pace. From the time we arrived to the time we got our food, took about 45 minutes.

While I’d go to a Sonic again, certainly not while it’s this busy. They just opened within the last week, so they’re due a break. Brandy and I both ordered their Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster sandwich which comes with BBQ sauce. Brandy ordered it without, but with mayo and ketchup. We get our order and both of our sandwiches are missing all the sauces. So we buzz them to tell them that we just need some sauce. Ten minutes later, they bring us two new sandwiches. Confused by this, we explain that all we needed were the sauces. The carhop said, "Well looks like you get two free sandwiches!" I glance in the bag, and it’s someone else’s order, but with our receipt. The carhops leaves and comes back 5 minutes later with BBQ sauce and mayo, no ketchup. Fortunately someone had arrived 3 minutes earlier with extra condiments. Yikes.

So all in all, our cold burgers were OK, the tots were average, and the kids seemed to like their kid’s meals (Katie got the corndog and Kieran got a grilled cheese). I’m guessing once they iron out the bugs, they’ll be fine.
