Winner, Winner! Chicken Dinner!!! - Streets Fine Chicken

So my boyfriend had been craving fried chicken for a good while, but I'm not a big fan of fried chicken being that we eat chicken so often, but I caved in to him and decided to have a date night. He found a new spot, across the street from the little thrift store, "Out of the Closet." It's called Streets Fine Chicken and it was pretty fanfukingtastic. Here's the pictures to go with such a bold statement...

I loved the outside decor. The baby chicks with the mustaches slay me!

Here is our appetizer. It was ah-may-zing! These are called 'Chicken Lollipops.' They are Smoked n’ fried chicken drumsticks rolled in a Grand Marnier horseradish molasses. Yum!

I had the chicken pot pie with mac and cheese. It was delicious and the chicken was abundant and so moist. 

My guy had his fried chicken, which he absolutely loved! He ended up taking some of it home and ate it for diner. 

He also ordered his favorite, an old fashion, which he said tasted delicious. He's so picky about the drink, that I'm glad they made it to his liking. We both agreed the Streets Fine Chicken was a wonderful family place and we will be back!

Dinosaur Valley State Park

Lately, we've been trying to go out hiking every Saturday. Unfortunately, this last Saturday was ruined by a bad case of 'Mia feels like poop' so we had to stay at home and be vegetables. This was our hike from the Saturday before, so it's a little bit late. 

So our hike started with a very eager Brandi, ready to get this hike on. She had patiently sat in the back seat of the car for almost two hours, and there was no stopping this 70 pound pit once her paws hit the dirt. She was excited and ready for the adventure. 

At first, I thought, "This hike is going to be too easy. There's nothing but flat land here!" But our adventure quickly started when we had to cross a river to get the hike started. It was something else. The river almost covered the rocks, making them a bit slippery. It was a first for us. 

Here's a picture of myself. I took this just in case I went missing. I shouldn't have taken it from the top looking down, since we all know that's the 'fat girl' favorite way to take a picture. It cuts at least 15 pounds off. If I would have been lost, they would have been deceived and not found me. 

This is a tree that had fallen on to the ground. It was beautiful, but I had to get away from it as soon as I heard noises coming from inside of it. I can imagine something springing up and trying to take a bite of me. They would have had meals for days...

Here's some pictures of our happy family. You can still see the bump on Brandi's lip where she got bit by something on our previous trip to Lake Tawakoni. (The name might make people think that this is where 'Friday the 13th' or 'Sleepaway Camp' took place, but no. The scariest thing here were the huge, monstrous vultures that kept circling around, ready for a snack.)  

The hike wasn't all flat, which made the adventure more fun for us. It was a good work out, which my butt appreciated. 

These are my hiking shoes. I feel like I'm back in the 80s, with my big clunky red and grey shows. I had to, of course, not match. It's a rule when you find clunky old multicolored shoes that make you feel like you're a kid, that you wear mismatched clothes. A rule, I tell you. A girl gets overwhelmed by excess 'Punky Power,' as you can tell from my purple pants and teal blue shirt. That's what got me through the almost 4 mile hike.

We made Brandi stop and pose for us. It lasted all of 5 seconds. 

This is the panoramic view of the lake before we crossed it and hiked to our car. It was a wonderful day!! We will definitely be  back!
