If you are anything like me, you found yourself after your first child feeling somewhat guilty for returning to work after nine weeks of maternity leave. I ended up doing this five times. My children were my entire world and of course reminding myself hour after hour that I was in fact working for the well being of their lives, it helped the guilt to subside somewhat. What doesn't subside, are the things you face from not physically being with your children for eight hours a day. Surprisingly you come across issues when you are with them. The time crunch. Crunching for time. Wanting them to be in bed by 8 pm., but knowing you have homework to check, dinner to cook, clothes to wash, that deadline from the office, and now the mandatory story beef brisket first cut bedtime doesn't seem so mandatory anymore.

Though I must say the first act was Dinosaur's strongest. I split one of their Three Meat Combos to sample their famous BBQ for the main event. The Tres Hombre is a hearty helping of BBQ Pork, sliced Texas bbq brisket, and BBQ ribs. My two sides: mac n' cheese, and BBQ baked beans. The Pork was, without doubt, the standout. Smoky and greaseless, the taste lingered for the rest of the night (in a good way). The ribs were also excellent -- meaty and tender. The brisket, while well prepared, was tougher than expected, and not as flavorful as its plate-neighbors. I was also disappointed by the beans, which had a very strange after taste and a runny consistency. The mac n' cheese was creamy and delicious.
