A friend treated me to lunch today! (pic)

17 years ago

What a delightful afternoon!

This is an assortment of different salads--from top, going clockwise, mushrooms with bean sprouts and sweet bell peppers, shrimp & avocado with red onions, cabbage with green onions and toasted almond slivers, marinated eggplant, calamari, and shrimp with cucumbers.

Then, onto sashimi--salmon, snapper, tuna, ginger, a crabshell stuffed with shrimp, and some kind of "puff."

An assortment of sushi and sashimi was next. Yum!

...and yes, we had room for dessert! Green Tea ice cream in the bowl, and fresh fruit, with assorted other delectibles on the plate.

I'm not quite sure why, but after I had taken a few photos, I was approached and told "no photos! no photos!" I looked around, and there were no signs prohibiting the taking of photos, so I said I was sorry and I didn't know I was not to take photos.

My eyes and taste buds and tummy were certainly doing the happy dance today! I hope you enjoy the photos!

Smiles,

Sooz

On my birthday one year, I had an Almond Joy martini. It was the first martinit I ever had. It was soooooooooooo good! I've tried to duplicate it, haven't yet! I've also had some sort of pear martini which was also very good. I tried the appletini, don't care for sour apple, so didn't care for this one. I'll keep trying to reproduce that Almond Joy one though. I remember it was clear liquid, because the glass had chocolate syrup swirled all around on it. I'm having trouble making a clear one. LOL.

I had a lettuce salad with different things on it, cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons and poppy seed dressing. I also had a tablespoon of kidney bean salad and about the same of cole slaw, plus I had the pot pie and a sausage and green beans and fried rolls with apple butter and the greatest iced tea. Cheryl and I really did enjoy our meals. There isn't a vegetable I don't think that I don't like. Sue

Always have a great visit with Linda! We meet 2 or 3 times a year for lunch. Today, was the same. Great lunch, great visit. We tried a new restaurant, closer to her. I had fried oysters and Linda had fried chicken. Everything is cooked to order. Thanks ya'll for your interest.

I'm also pretty tired of the constant diet ads.

Frankly, that lunch looks pretty darned healthy to be except perhaps the puffs and the ice cream.

I learned to like sushi while I was in California, although my favorite is still the deep fried sushi, LOL. It all looks good to me.

Oh goodness, I can see I was not clear... my friend treated me to lunch at a local eatery--that's why (in my initial post) I was surprised when I was approached and told "no photos!" Sorry for my miscommunication.

It was all delicious, and really, a lot more from which we could choose, but this is what we enjoyed. I love the green tea ice cream, and only get it once or twice a year, so that was especially enjoyed!

This week is my second week of "early Spring break" from teaching, and that's always special to me--it was even more wonderful to be surprised and treated to lunch!

Watch out for spam!!

That looks FABULOUS! Where was this rest.? And Re: the pics you took. If someone told me that - no pics can be taken - I would nicely ask, "Well if I take this all home to go, will you be escorting there to make sure I don't take pics?" That's garbage - the food was paid for and if you want pics, you've paid for them via the purchased food. That happened to me once in a fancy bakery in Paris and I asked how would they stop me if I open the box when I'm outside the door and take pics and they just stood there, gaping mouth, and speechless. Maybe THAT'S why they "hate Americans"?
