Ninfa’s on Navigation – The Best Salsa Ever!

And I’m back!

My Houston trip is complete and I am utterly exhausted. However, I was able to get back to Ninfa’s on Navigation. I knew it wasn’t advisable with my diet but I figured I would treat myself. I also figured that since I was able to find a healthy breakfast (Non-fat yogurt with berries, 2 eggs and wheat toast) I could go for it.

I am happy to report that the fajitas seemed even better. I was going to order a taco, enchilada and fajita combo but I caved and bought just the fajitas. Of course they came with the tortilla chips and salsas! This time, however, the service was insane. It was a little cool so I decided to eat inside the restaurant. Whenever my glass of unsweetened iced tea was half-full, someone came by and replenished it. Every single time. Once it happened and I didn’t even notice. They also filled up my empty salsa bowls and gave me extra tortilla chips and tortillas for my fajitas. I felt quite special! Maybe they felt sorry for the poor guy who was eating alone with a suitcase. Or maybe I was devilishly handsome enough to get the special attention. I won’t suggest that maybe this restaurant has great food and great customer service. That would be absurd.

I didn’t go overboard and eat dessert this time. I filled up on chips and salsa and found my way to the mall. (Yes, I worked at some point but that was until 1pm…I won’t discuss it!) This mall was nothing like I have seen before. Every entrance had valet parking and doormen. I should have known something was up. When I walked in I didn’t see the typical stores you’d find around in a regular mall. They had Tiffany’s, Gucci, Armani, Versace, Jimmy Choo, Yves St Laurent, Kenneth Cole, Steve Madden and a whole bunch of other famous stores or stores that could tell that I was  not rich enough to even look in the window. I guess pulling a cheap suitcase behind me was a good sign that I would not be purchasing that $2100 coat I tried on in Burberry.

But wow, what a coat!

I got a little lost in the mall and was disappointed that there weren’t any real sales on. I guess I should have figured that when I saw the stores. These people don’t need sales.  Once I found my way to an exit, I tried to find a cab. I was not very successful and I eventually just walked over to a nearby hotel and took one from there.

The rest of the trip was non-eventful. I could write about how the airport had to specifically mention that Snow Globes were not allowed on the plane due to a security threat but I won’t. Because really, who doesn’t know that Snow Globes are the tools of the terrorist?

I could also mention that there was some doucher in the airport that was on his cell phone and must have thought that everyone needed to hear his conversation. I found out that Betty was working late and whining about it and that Terry had an attitude problem. He was also going to get the job offer but it wasn’t in writing yet.

I just know that I am always glad to get home and I was able to smuggle my salsa home. I also smuggled a carton of cigarettes for a dude at work. But it was the salsa I was concerned about.
