I just got back from a packed day of meeting up with fellow Houston Area Kossacks and then running some errands. I guess I should have planned in advance for what was inevitably going to be a busy day, but I didn't, and I wasn't able to cobble together a diary for tonight. So how about a preview of the meet-up diary I'm going to be posting in the next couple of days? We got some pretty good pictures this time around, and I'm looking forward to posting a full meet-up diary, but in the meantime, follow me below the fold for some cherry-picked food and Kossack porn...
First, a little food porn, because of course. We met at Fadi's Mediterranean Grill for the second time in a row, and the way people were talking, we might be going back soon. Food porn is easy at Fadi's. I tried to get pictures of as many plates as I could, because Mediterranean food is always so pretty. The exception being what I had (I was a good boy and limited myself to a beef/lamb gyro sandwich), which tasted a lot better than it looked.
But then there was whatever
nomandates had...I'm not even going to try to identify everything, but I see some hummus there. And I know that meat, whatever it is, had pomegranate in it.
Blood had the right idea and got dessert before his meal.
I'm going to be stingy with the pictures here, because the full diary will come later, but here is our group picture that
nomandates graciously took. Proving once again that Ph.D. candidates don't need common sense, I painstakingly cleared
one of the tables for the picture. From right to left, we have
mjbleo,
scott5js,
cosette,
doraphasia,
TDDVandy,
Chrislove, doraphasia's son, Mr. doraphasia, and
jmbar2.
One more, and I think my favorite: from right to left,
cosette,
doraphasia, and
nomandates' hair.
We were joking toward the end of the meet-up about applying some pretentious Instagram filters to the photos. So here you go.
For more food and Kossack porn, be on the lookout tomorrow or Monday for a diary.
