First Daddy's Day

Well Father's Day was pretty good. Carrie, Milo and I went to one of my favorite places for dinner, Picanha. If you've never been to a Brazilian Barbeque (or churrascaria) before I highly suggest checking one out. Here's the basics: after sitting down and ordering your drinks you head over to the salad/sides buffet area where you get you greens, soup, beans, rice, bread, etc. But I don't suggest getting too much of this because the main attraction is the meat. At your table you will find a little disc with a green side and a red side. If you leave the red side up the waiters won't stop at your table, but if you leave the green side up they will stop by with whatever meat they happen to be serving. They bring the meats by on a huge skewer right off of the grill.

Let me give you a breakdown of all of the stuff we had (in order in which we liked them):

Picanha (marinated top sirloin)
Smoked Sausage
Parmesan Crusted Pork
Chicken Legs
Filet
Garlic Sirloin Tips

Needless to say we ate a lot and needed to walk off the thousands of calories we just consumed. We strolled around the Burbank mall and got some ice cream. After we got home it was time for a much needed nap. We nap in shifts now with Milo around and after I woke up Carrie laid down for a nap which lasted hours and hours and hours. I decided to head to a casino and play cards since I was by myself watching TV anyway. I had an okay time, not as much fun as I usually have at the poker table and left about even.

But the real gift comes on Wednesday when the cable company is delivering the DVR Milo got me for Father's Day. Nice!

    Wow those people love you as a Daddy for sure. I'm glad you had such a good time. I remember we went to that restaurant and I loved it too. Happy first of many Father's Days. LYFE
