Good Eats: Grand Lux Cafe

My sister, Ney, and I went to The Grande Lux Cafe for the first time with our Aunty MR.

After observing my Aunt interact with the waitstaff and order her food, I decided I want to be slightly bougie when I grow up. She ordered a delicious NOV pomegranate tea. I tried it and asked for a tea bag of it to-go. You see, bougie girls drink tea. That’s where I’m headed.

My overall impression of Grand Lux was good. The meal was around $15 (a little pricey) but the portions were BIG. I couldn’t finish my food at the restaurant; I didn’t even finish it when I took it to lunch. I finally demolished that bad boy for dinner! I had the apple pie a la mode for dessert, which left much to be desire. I liked the apple filling and the Bluebell ice cream. The pie crust was a little sour.

Grand Lux, for the good food, atmosphere, and great waitstaff gets my stamp of approval!

It’s the little things…

It’s the little things that make me happy:

1. My thumb ring

– It was a gift from a friend. Originally a mood ring, but I wore it in the shower one too many times.

2. My red yarn braid

– I randomly decided to put it in one day. It reminds me that I’m 22, not 35 like I tell my students. I can hide it in the back or pull it to the front.

3. My waist beads

– They were made by my friend, Naomi (Check out her etsy shop). It’s very sensual to know that I have these beautiful beads under my clothes. They also help me keep track of my weight.

4. My ear cuff

– I had been shopping on etsy for a decently priced ear cuff. I finally found one at Icing at the mall for $4! It’s a great alternative to a piercing.

Last year, I had a thing for string cheese and now I’ve moved on to Craisins. The strange things is that I find raisins absolutely disgusting, but I like craisins. They’re delicious!
