Thanks for reading!

Current Setting is at:  3M

Resolution:  2048×1536

Quality:  Super Fine

Due to the fact that WordPress has a limit on the size of my file uploads, I will be resizing all posted pictures to 1600×1200.

Thanks for your interest!

The soup was Navy Bean, and it was good, not my favorite, but still good.  Normally, I don’t order pork chops in restaurants, and the reason behind this is the fact that most places overcook their pork chops into a tough dry piece of meat.  Country Way does not disappoint when it comes to these babies.  The Grilled Pork Chops are moist, tender, and juicy.  Not at all like the pork jerky that you get other places.  Their thick cut fries are also fantastic.

My sister opted for the Beer Battered Cod, which was also excellent.  Cutting each fillet in half you can clearly see the white cod fish inside, big whole chunks of fish.  What I think is fantastic about Country Way’s Beer Battered Cod is that the batter around the fish is not thick at all.  It is just right, and is deliciously crunchy when you bite into it, the fresh cod is moist and offers a contrast in texture.  Another thing that I have to mention is that the steamed vegetables on the side are decent, much better than the steamed veggies that you get elsewhere…  These veggies actually have TASTE.  :D

Love Country Way.  :)  Love them!  :D

I am on a mission to find food that is different, I want to try things that are new.  Once I find these “new” NOMs, I will share them here on AsLongAsYoureHappy.com.  :D

If anyone has any restaurant suggestions in the Bay Area, please feel free to send me an email via the “Contact Us” page.  Thank you!

  1. Food & Drink (Noms)
  2. Gaming (Aion)
  3. Travelling (Wandering)
  4. Arts & Crafts (Arrrt!)

The lives we lead can be mundane, even reptitive, and I often find myself wondering if we are truly happy.  Are people happy going to their normal 9 to 5 jobs?  Doing the same activities weekend after weekend?  I, personally, am not happy with how my life is going so I have started this blog as a means to share the things that make ME happy.
