Most Recent DiscoveryI can now identify all the English coins by feel. That can't be good.
Current CrushIt's called "palomino". Two shots + frothed milk in a small cup. I call it "GO!"
My lunch companion had the Zansation Zalad, which looked good with a lot of lettuce and pieces of chopped fried chicken and the Honey Sesame dressing.
Drinks are available via a Coke fountain and I drank at least a half gallon of the yummy Minute Maid "lite" lemonade, refilling to go. Lunch for two was $16.
If I'm ever in the mood for another chicken sandwich, I might come back to Zaxby's.
I was looking for a mounting bracket to put a front license plate on my wife's car. O'Reilly's has the same exact kit that they sell at the other stores - same price, same manufacturer. And still not what I needed.
Another "no purchase" but it was still nice to wander the floor and look at all the doodads and flux capacitors, thinking that there's no way I could install any of it. I'm just not vehicular capable.
I heard that Chutny's is operated by an Indian family - a brother of a Wal-Mart associate. It's certainly got the authenticity down. For the moment, they only offer a buffet (even for dinner) but I understand a regular menu is on the way soon.
My wife and I stopped by and had a sampling of pretty much everything off the tables. The Vindaloo Chicken wasn't as hot as I expected, but something with potatoes nearly set my teeth on fire. The Butter Curry Chicken was awesomely flavorful with excellent pieces of chicken and lots of curry that was almost completely soaked up by a pile of white rice with the remainder being chased around the plate by a piece of naan. I can't remember anything else that was up there, but it was all good.
Thankfully, they had a cold table with various chutneys (mint, tangarine, mango) and a very fresh riata that put out some of that fire. The buffet includes sodas, but we were okay with just water. A lot of water!
Service was friendly and a bargain at $20 for two. I do hope this place makes it. It's a great meal!
Still, they are friendly enough and they don't mind people like me (completely automotive challenged) wandering the aisles and looking at the flux capacitors and bottles of blinker fluid.
I'm still looking for a mounting bracket for a front license plate for my wife's car. They have the same two (even the same manufacturer) as the other store. I didn't buy it.

Maria's Mexican Restaurant No 2
Category: Mexican
Located on Walnut Street, a couple of blocks down from the Wal-Mart, there is plenty of parking. Large dining room with mostly four-top tables and they don't mind pushing a couple of them together for larger parties. Lunch specials range from $5 to $8 and include the usual variety of tortillas (corn or flour), meat (chicken, beef, carnitas) or spinach, and cheese with some sort of sauce on top plus rice and beans. It's hard to go wrong.

Autozone
Category: Auto Parts & Supplies
I'm far from a DIY car mechanic. My skill set tops out somewhere just above refilling the windshield washer fluid. In an emergency I can change a tire, but I'd rather call AAA. And I'm perfectly fine with paying someone to change the oil. I know little about car maintenance or repair, but I do know that if I needed a replacement flux capacitor, Autozone would be where I would turn.
Still, I like browsing an Autozone. The clerks don't jump on you and they don't seem to mind someone wandering the aisles who is imagining being able to install some of these doodads in his own vehicle.
Today, I was looking for a mounting bracket so that I could put a vanity license plate on the front of my wife's car. They had two different models on the shelves, but neither would be a good fit.
My chicken enchilada was served with a reasonable portion of rice and beans and a good scoop of guacamole that tasted quite fresh. Plenty of chicken in there and the sauce on top was tasty. The chips were crunchy and not stale at all.
Don't skip the salsa bar, which has pico de gallo, red and green salsas as well as onions and cilantro. The soda fountain had my second favorite, Minute Maid Lemonade with Spenda (5 calories a cup). (My top fave is plain soda water.) The cup was refillable and I topped up before leaving.
Located towards the back of the plaza, next to the Wal-Mart and behind the Backyard Burgers. Sadly, no wifi signal.
