Double Dip Weekends Part 1

I got sick this past week so I never got around to posting any updates about my weekend adventures from last week so I'll take some time to do so now...

On Saturday (the 26th), three of my roommates and I were craving Winger's Roadhouse for lunch so we went there. Another thing I like about going to Idaho just places like Winger's:

Yes, Rexburg has one and I love it!

I had to send this picture via cell phone to my sisters and dad!

And get this: they have a lunch special for around $10. Observe:

Sticky fingers and steak fries with ranch dip!

Now I know what you're thinking: "But Mike! That amount of food is NOT worth $10 Talk about a rip-off!"
Yes, I know that. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone. The one thing that makes these portions worth while is it's all-you-can-eat! That's right you heard me! All-you-can-eat! Tabehoudai for those of you who speak Japanese! For ten bucks, you eat as many sticky fingers, steak fries, and salad as you can. Drinks with free refills included! Finished a serving? They'll bring out another round! From 11 AM to 3 PM daily!

So what else did I do? Well, to burn off some calories, we played a few rounds of billiard at our apartment lounge. Some of you may ask when I got into billiards. The answer is the Brazilians; they got me hooked onto the games played on a pool table. I won't tell you how many times I scratched the cue ball!

On Sunday (the 27th), I got sick with a sore throat so I assumed I was catching a cold (and man did it take it's toll on me!!!). So I stayed home from church and tried to get some rest. I also had to go to some meeting in the evening, which I felt was next to pointless considering I've heard all the things before. I know I'm going to a church-operated school but I feel there are some things about church in a college setting that aren't necessary. I won't get into detail about that but that's just my opinion...

On the other hand, I made gyudon (Japanese beef- bowl) for my roommates. Strips of beef, sliced onion, stir-fried into a teriyaki-based sauce served on top of rice makes for a simple meal with high calories! Some of my roommates now have man-crushes on me just because I made a Japanese dish! (Gulp!)

So that's what happened LAST weekend. And I'm just gonna say this past week was hard on me. Going to classes while being sick sucks! It's also been a little colder this week too, so the weather didn't help.
