Dallas Yet Again

I think Texas might soon be (if not already) the place I've been in the third longest (after California and Singapore, of course) with all of the visits this year. After being sent off by scrumptuous Curry House-style meal courtesy of Gina, I spent the weekend like most in Dallas: hanging out with Ruth, sleeping a lot, and eating a lot.

One place we went to for the first time was the Nasher Sculpture Center. We spent about an hour there, which is about my limit for most artsy type places, so it was just right. I particularly like sculptures since it gives the viewer much more opportunity to interact with the artwork:





When we weren't causing a stir and trying to take pictures with statues without drawing the ire of security, we also spent some time exercising. Ruth has a nice little pool at her place, so I tried swimming some laps, although I didn't really get that far since I'm so out of shape. I guess I won't be venturing to the infinite pool at work anytime soon...

Besides that, we went to the usual restaurants and were finally able to give Blue Mesa Grill a try. It's supposedly the best brunch in Dallas and it didn't disappoint, providing a variety of tasty eats. It was a buffet, so we were super stuffed, but I managed to have enough room for two helpings of dessert :) I was going to take a picture of the dessert, but got too excited about eating it, so I only have one in a half-eaten state:



After all of the scrumptuous eating, we instead spent the last dinner cooking at home. Since my cooking skills are quite limited, we opted for cooking spaghetti. With the help of some tips I remember from Gerald, it turned out pretty well!
