Alfonso's Italian - Casa Linda

 I spent most of the day down at the crick, whittlin and fishin for mudcat. Life can't get any better. Along the way my good friend KD calls me on my smarter phone. Not that KD, but Arkansas KD that is a good guy. We talked about places to get our grub on and he mentioned that when he wandered into North Texas one step ahead of the law he laid low at Alfonso's. KD gave good marks to the rolls, salad, etc. He seemed very pleased with their fixins. 

As you know I sacrifice my body for the benefit of my readers so I told the wifey that dinner would be at Alfonso's. She is a big fan of the fettucine alfredo so she only whacked me several times for telling her where we were eating. She is so good to me. We hopped into her jalopy and did the tango to Casa Linda. 

This is a nice modern decorated place that has good service. I ordered Baked Lasagna which came with a salad and rolls. The rolls are garlic rolls and always very tasty. The salad was above average with a home made Italian dressing that wasn't over powering, it was just right. The lasagna is better than most. Not as greasy as many places lasagna is. 

I have to admit when I talk about lasagna that my homemade lasagna is world famous and powerful good. The next is Pizza Getti lasagna which comes with garlic toast that I think I like better than garlic rolls. And I have to throw Olive Garden in there for their lasagna is 3rd, the salad is one of the best and the garlic rolls are to die for. 

I want to thank KD for his suggestion. I am always open for suggestions of places to review. Just leave a comment and when I can figure out how to read it, we will get on over there to review it.

Petty's Steak and Catfish-Lindale, TX

 Due to the Covid 19 (Corona with no Lyme) I have been trapped in the big city with intellectual types and other citified type folk. I have become concerned that my level of redneckism has diminished in the last year. It was time to do something about this dire emergency. So the wifey and myself loaded up and took off for the woods of East Texas to associate with well healed rednecks. You know the types, their cows are called Oreo's and they give chocolate milk. Can't get any better than that. The more time you spend up and down Hwy 80 to the east, the better off you will be.

As you know eating is a major past-time of mine. So twice a day we are forced to enter the world of citified people to grab some grub. In looking for a place, I discovered that Petty's has opened a feed alot in Lindale. Back when it was in Hawkins we would swing by in the afternoon for PIE. I don't remember ever eating any pre-dessert food, but boy do I remember the PIE. So I grabbed up the wifey and came out of the woods and headed for Lindale. 

If you haven't figured it out yet, the wifey and me are true fishermen. We eat fish everywhere we can. So you guessed it, we ordered fired catfish for dinner. This meal came with two filets of fish, loaded potato, salad, rolls and hush puppies. 

The fish is probably the second best we have had and we have been in all of the fish joints in East Texas. Go ahead and name'em, I have been there. The best is Doe Belly's in Forney bar none, but this is very close. I especially like the breading on the fish. It was not spicy like Doe Belly's but it was very very good. The salad was a very good salad, better than most. You wouldn't believe the baked potato. They gave us more fixin's than could possibly fit inside the potato. So needless to say, it was nicely doctored when I was done. Yum, Yum. The rolls were good but not outstanding and the hush puppies were a little lacking, but with all of the food I had in front of me, something wasn't gonna get ete anyway. Especially because pie was coming. 

Did I mention PIE. These folks do pie. I opted for the Chocolate pie. I mean really tasty chocolate, great crust and meringue. Yummy, Yummy.

This meal was so good that two nights later we went back for a second helpin'. It took two days to be hungry again.
