best dinner

It's our one year anniversary and we arrive at Texas de'Brazil in downtown Dallas. The streets are busy, the lights are bright, the air is crisp, and the wonderful smell of food fills the parking lot as we get out and the valet takes the car. As we walk towards the entrance of the new,two-story,and beautifully designed building we are greeted at the door by the hostess. The atmosphere inside is magical. The lights are dim, but there are candles everywhere, creating an romantic ambiance. There are waiters walking around with these long brackets of delicious meats. As our waiter explains, it's an all you can eat restaurant. We are given a colored card and as long as we have it on one side, waiters keep coming by our table offering us more. They served lamb chops, different types of cooked ribs and steak, chicken, and shrimp. Besides the meats, they also have a salad bar with over 100 options. They have a large variety of cheeses, dressing, vegetables, and even offer some of the best tasting sushi. Along with all that feast, Texas de'Brazil has an amazing tray of tasty and freshly baked desserts.

valentines hypocrit?

When February comes around, valentines day is everywhere. Advertisements for gifts are heard on the radio, tv, seen on billboards and in stores. It's a nice concept that once a year your significant other shows his/her affection. However, i think that a day shouldn't be reserved for such, what about every other day in the year? Why can't everyday be a lovers holiday? Women and girls expect valentines to come with gifts, flowers, chocolate and balloons if not from their significant other, a secret admirer. I think it might be a schoolgirl fantasy that never grows old. Valentines Day is also a day that singles out those that don't have a love partner, which seems to belittle and exclude them from this occasion. Is society too concerned with monetary significance that they interpret as "romance?" Or is this a ploy from companies that make money from it? Although I have tried to resist and even ban this holiday from my life, I guess I have been swept up by the hype of such a romantic, perfect day...making me a valentines hypocrit!
