Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
If someone offered to buy you lunch today, where would you go?

On Friday? Are you kidding? MEXICAN food, of course! Our favorite restaurant near the office is oddly named: Brianna’s Mexican Cafe. Go figure. There is a cactus painted on the window with the names Breanna, Emily, and Stephanie on the branches. I always refer to it as “Flora, Fauna, & Meriweather’s Mexican Cafe.”
Doesn’t matter what you call it, the food is delicious.

We all have the same thing on our minds, lol
HA! I just realized I spelled “Brianna” two different ways. See how confusing that is when you’re talking about a Mexican restaurant? What happened to Juanita, Consuela, Margarita, Chila, et al.? Who knows!

Lunch? Hmmm. How about its 6PM in Hawaii and I just had dinner, I bought me and the kids McDonald’s, had a craving… I have been wanting McDonald’s for the last few days, I always get a crispy chicken sandwich.

Given that part of my Aloha Friday talks about food from my youth, there’s this incredible Greek restaurant near where my parents live. Visiting them always means a visit there and just the thought of it gets me hungry for their marinated chickpeas (marinated in onions, oil and some wonderful set of secret spices that I’d love the recipe for!), Spanakopita (spinach pie) and Eggplant Gyros (thin slices of fried eggplant topped with lettuce, tomato and yogurt sauce served on a pita)! Insert Homer Simpson drool noise here. Definitely Good Eats!

Well, we would probably either go to the mexican restraunt or the italian restraunt in town. We don’t have many options!
Brandi´s last blog ..Aloha Friday…
There isn’t one in my area, but I’d love to go to 5 Guys. The best and freshest burgers and fries anywhere! We always eat there when we visit our daughter in VA. They’ve expanded to Detroit and that’s only a 90 minute drive – still too far for lunch.

Mexican or a good seafood restaurant would work for me right about now. How is that for extreme difference? lol

Well we went to lunch today cause we had a buy 1 get 1 free, so we went to quiznos. Quiznos was great, but if someone else was buying I would want to go to… any sushi place! Man I have been wanting sushi for a while!

Oh, good question-I would probably go to a local fast food place called Beef A Roo(it’s not as disgusting as it sounds-Lol-)
Actually, it’s better then getting anything else at any other FF place like McDs or Taco Bell!

JHS, you think that is funny… we have a Mexican place in the area called:
“Garibaldi’s Authentic Mexican Food” ???????
Everytime I go by it, I have to laugh… I’ve even taken a picture of it with my phone, my old phone, then the sim card got screwed up… darn it!! Gotta get another picture!
Any-who… To answer Kailani’s question:
I’d want to go to this great Italian place (speaking of Garibaldi) called D’Antonio’s, they have a terrific margarita pizza, mmmmmmm!
