Smitty’s Market

Posted on February 28th, 2011

A week or two ago, a group of coworkers and I drove out to Smitty’s Market for lunch. It was a farewell lunch for J., and it was perfect. There’s just something wonderful about the barbecue joints in central Texas – they make me happy. At Smitty’s, the fatty brisket and the sausage are my favorites. Don’t you just love film? There’s just something rich and wonderful about it that feels so different from digital. Every time I develop a roll, I ask myself, “why don’t I use film more?” So, I’m going to try to use film more.

Breakfast: chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese (I only ate half – I prefer plain bagels, but the store was out of them), and a tiny Juicy Juice. They’re much sweeter than I remember – another thing I suppose I’ve grown out of. :/ Lunchy snack: some crackers with tuna salad. Roux wanted some. Dinner: leftover potato-leek soup and buttered toast. Dessert: olive oil torta and hot chai. I love these tortas – this brand in particular. They’re perfectly crispy and slightly sweet, with sesame and anise and olive oil. Headphones – It’s another headphone night, because the garage band is practicing AGAIN.

Breakfast: buttered toast. Lunch: leftover lazy lasagna. Snack: a piece of a Rolo from my coworker’s candy bowl. Dinner: potato-leek soup and toast topped with cottage cheese. Dessert: bites of cherry pie. Garage band – Tonight we have to hang out with our headphones on because our neighbor is practicing with his garage band. They’re mediocre at best – kind of wedding-band-Americana-rock. It’s so loud, it’s impossible to escape it unless we leave the house or put on headphones. So, I’m grateful for headphones. I haven’t been listening to much music lately, and now I’m finding new songs I like. Oranges for colds – I think I’m getting a cold. I woke up with a scratchy throat and itchy ears (I actually had a…
