Texarkana has the Ironwood grill and that place rocks for good food. He's reopening the Cafe here in Linden. Can't wait. We like the place in Texarkana, but I hope he has a more traditional menu here. He's from here. The building is owned by Don Henley, who owns most of the commercial properties in Linden. Don reached out to him about reopening the Cafe. Rent free. This town wouldn't exist without Don Henley.

The hotel chain has an Outback in the parking lot…For the most part, I avoid chain restaurants, but do not feel like walking anywhere. Skeletonized menu compared to the past…. Nothing under $30, the decent meals are $40…. In the past, me and the wife could dine here for $50, now it would be a C- note. The food is good, but one would be wise to take a pass and find a mom and pop steakhouse. The corporate card informs me on dining on my own dime. I have not eaten in one of theirs since the 1990s. I always go to an independent owned establishment. Best deal on steaks in Taos is Guadalajara Grill. They serve ribeyes only. If I want to spend $60 there is a more upscale place with Chateaubriand and Porterhouse, aptly named "The Martyr's Grill" which is what it must feel like when the bill is presented. All their sides are extra $. So, expect a heavy tab. Did you ever eat a steak at El Rancho de Chimayo? It was a steakhouse back in the 70s, but it looks it's more high-end Mexican food now. One of the best steaks I have ever eaten back in 77.

Fried Chicken Breast from the market in town. Well made. My own mashed potatoes and gravy. Steamed baby bokchoy. It is nice to eat normal food again.

One is impactful and two means sleeping on the ride home. Their Carne Adovada is the best I have had.

The usual for breakfast, eggs and lentils with rice. I have a really expensive 12 pound turkey thawing in the refer. One of those birds raised on a farm in Colorado, free range, not organic per se, but grain fed non GMO, no water added. Seems I did not get enough of the boid when at the Thanksgiving Buffet and felt left out, ![:-[](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/embarrassed.png) . So, after roasting, I will section it and freeze some for future meals. Dog will enjoy her share. I can envision a home made turkey pot pie in the making. Might even try turkey tamales if I can work up the nerve. I might try oven roasting with bacon strips across the breast halves for self basting. We shall see.

Turkey Fajitas are pretty good also from turkey leftovers. Not a fan of fajitas. Prefer Tamales, enchiladas, tacos, burritos, rellenos, chalupas, adovadas. I have a disco for preparing fajitas at a camp fire, made from a disc plow. I seldom use it but that could change.
