Thank you, Mom!

So my Mom sent us some money for Christmas and we used it to take everyone to lunch.
We did not go to the Paragon Casino again. As much as I love their buffet, hubby does not like driving all the way to get there.
I did some thinking and we decided on Noodles and Grill Asian Cuisine. It's right in town and has something that everyone can eat.
They were really

Youngest son Patrick.

He has several health issues, among them being that we never know what is going to make him sick. It is a problem we have been chasing for several years now and is still ongoing. We know a lot about what it is not, but not what it is. Spice of any kind and most seasonings, too, are a definite no no; as are potatoes in any form. So he got the beef fried rice.

Fried rice is pretty much always safe for him. This place doesn't make theirs with soy sauce like a lot of places do, which is also a plus.

One thing we like about this restaurant? Bean sprouts. It may sound picky, but a lot of Asian restaurants around here don't serve bean sprouts. Even the Tao restaurant in Lafayette doesn't. But they do here and we like bean sprouts.

Middle son Robert.

He did two tours in Iraq and has PTSD. He likes things spicy, so he got the Penang Udon.

He said it wasn't as spicy as it looked; but was still very good.

Hubby ordered Wonton Egg Noodle Special.

I ordered the Pepper Steak. When it came out it didn't look like pepper steak, but I tried it anyway and it was really good, with just a bit of a bite to it.
When we got the receipt, it turns out it was Triple Meats with spicy Garlic Sauce.

All in all, a great lunch. THANK YOU, MOM!

God bless you all and Merry Christmas. ♥
