IH-526-ODG "Party Jacket Tour"

^ that made me lol @Matty123 [emoji23]
Sandwich looks boss @sabergirl
I had to Google tortas and am in the process of sourcing appropriate bread. One thing about Norway that sucks is that Norwegian bread is good, great even when bought from a proper baker, but international breads are rarely available and awful when you can get them. I haven’t had naan in this country outside of at an Indian restaurant since the first time 15 years ago. And what passes for focaccia is better suited to wiping your… you get the idea.
Glad I could be of assistance. And I’m sorry to hear about the lack of tortas in Norway…. I’m located in the center of the Torta triangle where I live and work. Serious stuff. Google “Cemita” for more sandwich envy

I empathize, neph. One of the things I consistently praise about Houston is the breadth and depth of its international food scene. There are few, very few, places in the US where it's easier to find authentic, fresh foods from more countries. I loved the variety of the city.
Even though San Antonio is the seventh largest city in the US, it is utterly minor league in that regard.

We have a lot of mismatched brightly colored fiesta ware of all shapes and sizes. I've been grabbing it at thrift shops for years.
My wife buys it at flea markets, so ours is mismatched, too. I actually prefer it that way.
More colorful= more fun. -
Glad to hear everyone enjoyed that torta (almost) as much as me!! Nice collection, @Chris.
I feel as though I haven't been doing this tour much justice, I just have a sort of boring life. More food pics to come, at the very least.
If the tour slows down or doesn't add more people, I plan to do another leg in the colder months…

Nice hike location. Looks refreshing!

Visited my parents in their beautiful apartment, this afternoon, after work.
Then it was home to walk the dogs. Our neighborhood is an historic part of town, with lots of beautiful old houses, and a few amazing oak trees. 
Pretty run-of-the-mill day.The party jacket has been partying by itself in the back of the car, in this heat. Pretty soon I suppose I should put my mark on it to be sent on its way!

Nice updates! I can’t help but sweat everytime I see someone in a jacket tho.

Cool update @sabergirl
-
I’ll try to snap a few more pics around the hood when I’m out with the dogs. There are some really beautiful renovations of historic houses around here.
I added my little touch to the party jacket:
I can almost wear it comfortably in my dark, air conditioned living room.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Love that patch and a nice addition to a great looking jacket and update @sabergirl
-
@sabergirl what city are you in? Downtown/central Phoenix area is the same way with a lot of really cool old neighborhoods with historic houses that have been renovated and are gorgeous. I would love to move into one some day.

Just got myself caught up on this leg. Great updates. I have a few notes though….
1. That old house makes me think of the southern gothic genré which I love. Anyone watching "Sharp Objects"?
2. You and your wife make a beautiful couple.
3. That patch is totally f**ckin' awesome. I need one.
4. I now want mussels and assorted other seafood.That is all

I didn't know if that is actually where she's located or just where she was from.
