A Friends Farwell

I have dreamt about you lately
It startles me to no end
We are both at different points now
Yet this dream has no end
Your there I am there
But so are the other two
You hold me
You assure me
But still I can’t quite understand
Only in my dreams will we remain friend
Only in my dreams can it be like it once was
For life has taken its course
It’s a great course
Oh how we drifted oh how we grew
So proud I am but tears still come
Why
I still have no answer
I need to say goodbye my friend
I need to let you go
The friendship out weighed the lover
But the past can not be undone
An important role you played
An ending must be created
No more
No longer
Please turn into a distance memory that sleeps forever
My lesson is that there are boundaries
I am desirable and I deserve the best
Know that you were loved
Friendship was our greatest virtue
Sometimes friendships have expiration
Our is at that point
Farwell

Wings.....Oh Appetizers

Wings n More....oh how I love thy....

It is one of those places that you should over due or you may just bust through the seams of you pants. I love this place. Be careful though the appetizers alone may spoil any room for the wings or main dish. Those onion rings oh boy....they are top of the line. Thinly sliced, battered and fried to perfection. These are one of the very few places that have turned me onto onion rings. My boyfriend swears by the pickle chips. Before him, I would have never thought but boy to they have a kick. Add them to a burger or my crispy friend sandwich and they just add a whole new dimension.

There wings are superb. No sharing at this place. Even if you order a sandwich and think oh I'll just taste so and so wing, better think again, get your own, the 5 piece is a good fit. I have never seen people be so unwilling to share. The smell when they put down your wings is out of this world.

Truth be told I've never had time to actually have dessert. I am normally to full. Same goes for other drinks. They do have a full bar, poker night,kids eat free nights, Sunday specials....I would try it just once, because I know you will be hooked.

Grilled Chicken Burger.....

What can I say, I live for food. I love food especially food that captivates me and for that one second I zone out everything but the taste of what I am consuming. Yesterday I was reminded of how much I enjoy Cafe 1626.
Let me just clear one thing up one more thing before I go any further. In most places I enjoy one thing and never explore beyond it. I just can't, the item I select is so perfect that it's hard to move past it.
At Cafe 1626 that item is the Chicken Burger. Oh boy is it the best. They marinated each piece of chicken. With cheese is the only way to eat it. Last night we took my boyfriends brother and his girlfriend (who by the way added bacon) and they felt the same way. Some people maybe thrown off because it's not one solid piece of breast meat, its breast strips, my notion behind that is that it doesn't create a dryness. It is very moist.

All I can say is if your in Austin you have to look into this place....especially if your craving a chicken burger http://www.cafe1626.com/

Good 2 Know: It's a pretty low key place on most days, though on big game events it the place to be. They have a buffet style pizza set up, subs, chicken fried steak. Pepsi products.
