with the salad below. (euf, so full!)
with gratitude.
with love for friends new and old.
with undeserved kindness.
with peace.
and the knowledge and faith that life has a way of working out. (ps: remind me of this the next time i think the sky is falling, as invariably i will at some point in the near future.)
(note: ignore the strange look on my face. i think it's the product of nearly finishing the salad {yes, the ENTIRE thing}, which left me careening toward food comatose. and ignore my poor hair--that's a product of dying hair dryer.)
dear mallorie,
thanks for giving me my first cafe rio experience. and for the trip to wal-mart for a new hair dryer. my hair thanks you. let's play again soon.
xo,

dah I love caf rio. I'm so glad you could experience it. And I"m quite impressed you (almost) finished the salad. Little known fact: it's just as good the second day.
I hope you continue to enjoy Utah!
jessica, i'm a little embarrassed that i finished it. i had planned on it feeding me for at least three days!
it's heaven. i almost went there today. but i had to resist because i have zero dollars. shoot.
I am glad you enjoyed your first Cafe Rio experience. I am very much in love with their salads. Can't wait to see you in your show!
The size of the salad seems to fit within Texas standards. How was the taste and over palatableness of the dish? By the way, congrats on your efforts against the salad.
wow! that salad looks great-- glad you're starting to enjoy yourself and have some fun out with great friends! :D
Wow - the salad looks fantastic - and your hair does not look poor :=)
I was so happy when I clicked on your blog today and I saw you with that salad. Silly, I know, to be so happy because you are eating, no, experiencing a Cafe Rio Salad. But, I'm a bit of a foodie.
I know that it's summer, but you should give their Tortilla Soup a try, it is super good also.
You are now officially a Utah girl since experiencing the Rio. I know that comatose feeling all too well. I'm glad to see you're already having fun and getting around town with lovely ladies!!
Oh Cafe Rio, even though basically everytime I eat it I get sick and feel like I'm carrying around the world's biggest food baby in my stomach, I can't stop going there. So good.
mmm, cafe rio is delicious! Also, I almost always can finish my salad, but then when I realize that everyone has stopped eating and is watching me like I'm the world's biggest garbage disposal, I force myself to stop. And then I cry a little inside 'cause I want to keep eating :)
how fun! I love salad, hate being stuffed. sounds like you are taking advantage of your new opportunity in Utah :).
Those salads are trip worthy. I know it. I've had them many times. :)
stop being a silly veggie and eat the pork salad. heaven for a G.
so jelly cat you're in ut.
playing juliet was one of the highlights of my career!
hope i can see you, lady! xo n
oh cafe rio is so good!! and you just do have to try the pork. you would never regret it!! also, i feel like we are friends now that you are in utah. despite the 3 hours between us!
oh that food looks down-right amazing!! mexican cuisine is a favorite!!
glad to see good food being consumed and good times being had.
and ps: your hair still looks pretty darn good without a fully functional dryer. if i was sans my full-powered dryer---my frizzy hair would be rivaling bozo's :)

haha! You made it! You MUST tell me what you thought! You and I should go as well, or try their competetor, bajio. :) Hope to hang again soon! xo
I LOVE the cafe rio salad. I got one this weekend too! I always have them leave out that rice and tortilla and it makes it a little easier to dominate. :)
Don't forget to ask for a punch card so you can get your 10th salad free! :)
rio's my fave!!
