Yes, awoke this morning in the Windy City...or rather out near O'Hare International Airport. Spent the morning getting funding done for the week for the various offices and then packed up and headed to the airport to pick-up the car arranged for me. Can you say land yacht!? Hell, I have not driven a car this big in years. It is a white Lincoln Continental Town Car and drives "like butter" and room for oh 20! Seriously, it is quite lovely and will come in handy throughout the week.
Met up with Charlene at 1ish and off we went to Hot Doug's for lunch. Oh my goodness people, it is fabulous. Of course I left the camera in the car, but will be going back on Saturday so will get pictures then. We split 4 dogs: 1. The Game of the Week ~ Cherry-Infused Venison Sausage with Pumpkin Cream Sauce and Bonvallis Mahon Cheese = interesting but do not need to repeat. 2. Ribeye Steak Sausage with Horseradish Cream Sauce, Caramelized Onions and Carrigaline Smoked Farmhouse Cheese = devine! Hard to beat. 3. Foie Gras and Sauternes Duck Sausage with Truffle Aioli, Foie Gras Mousse and Fleur de Sel = Did I just die and go to heaven or what? 4. The Paul Kelly ~ Bratwurst: Soaked in Beer – sort of like Paul and that came with "everything" which means Mustard, Caramelized Onions, Relish, Tomatoes, Pickle and Celery Salt. Add an order of fries and soda each and you have one amazing meal. Throw in a t-shirt and we are talking a home run. Oh and it is cash only.
After that we had other plans, but those were put on hold as I needed to get to the hotel and get settled in and take a nap. A quite evening in the room watching US Open and ordering room service. Tomorrow will be another full day so off I go.
