Yep, it's that time again. "Girls eating good food" time. When my girlfriends and I hang out, we like to spend it eating (and drinking), but mostly eating. We had originally planned to check out Zelko Bistro but found out there was a 1-1/2 hour wait. If it wasn't so late already, maybe our stomachs would have been up for it. Such was not the case. We quickly narrowed down our choice to Shade. A first time for me, but a repeat visit for the other girls. Shade is a lovely little cafe in possibly my favorite neighborhood in Houston. With newly-envisioned comfort food (which seems to be all the rage these days), it's a place where I can indulge my dirty Southern cravings for down home cooking, and still be ladylike at the same time.
