Antique stores, chicken, and more antique stores

Tyler's California chicken burger

 Another day spend around our own neighborhood!  Hannah had a coupon for a local favorite; Alexa's Cafe in Bothell, so at some point we had to go in for lunch.  We've been walking to get exercise a lot lately, so we walked all the way from downtown Bothell to Country Village, which is a little place on Bothell-Everett highway that is packed full of little specialty shops and antique shops.  Popped in and out of a few, Hannah and I really like these kind of places, so we spent a good hour and a half in and out of these stores.  After this we took a nice long walk back in the Bothell main drag and into Alexa's cafe in perfect time for lunch.
We had a $20 groupon here for lunchtime, which worked out perfectly!  We have been feeling on the healthy side lately (which isn't a bad thing!) after our trip, so Hannah got a Thai chicken salad (with peanut sauce of course) and I got the California chicken burger (with avocado of course).  Both were very satisfying!  I always feel like any kind of burger, even if it does have a wheat bun and chicken can taste delicious with a few slabs of avocado on it.  And did I mention bacon?  Yeah there's bacon :)  On the side of my dish was a few pickle slices and a small Caesar salad, both of which were good and filling (we both love pickles).

Hannah's Thai chicken salad (with peanut sauce!)

The salad that Hannah got was outstanding.  To mix classic Thai flavors with a good salad is a wonderful idea.  I have never seen peanut sauce put on a salad, but I'm glad that someone thought of it!  Throw some perfectly grilled chicken on the garden fresh greens and you've got a mighty lunch salad.  The chicken was definitely tasting like curry (one of God's finest creations), which was a huge plus.  It also came with pickle and a roll, with butter of course.

Crazy cheap receipt

So after we had satisfied our taste buds, we got the ticket and gave the waitress (who could have used a lesson in not being rude) our groupon, and she gave me the remainder of the bill, which turned out to be only freaking $1.89!  I happily gave the waitress my card and tipped well over the minimum of 26 cents..  Note on the ticket name it says "COZY CHAIRS" :)  We needed a nice cozy chair after our long walk to country village.

Next up, picnic at Green Lake and a homemade Thai dinner!
