Year 2, Day 226: Visit from MOM

After a night of Sushi and Chinese, I was looking to get it back in the holster, and I so I returned to the old standby—Turkey Bacon and Eggs. This served me pretty well for the day, and with the exception of a little bit of Ruby's carnival-acquired popcorn, the morning was a good catch up. However, lunch was problematic. We went to the Met Bar in Chestnut Hill. Usually, the service is highly attentive and experienced, but this time we got a near-mute who did not take our order right and as a result the whole lunch took over two hours. There were eight of us (so tip was included) but half were late and you know when that blood sugar drops it's hard to make good eating decisions.

Breakfast
3 Eggs over easy (one broken, and that was getting off easy)
3 strips turkey bacon
green tea

Snack
about 1/2 popcorn
1 medium dunkin donuts half/decaf
2 bites of hamburger

Lunch: Met Bar
3 shrimp with cocktail sauce
about 6 fried calamari, with spicy mayonnaise
greek salad with chicken
a bite of a chocolate cupcake

dinner: fuji steakhouse
2 salads
a few bites of shrimp, steak
sashimi: yellowtail, salmon, tuna, crab
vegetables (zucchini, sprouts, broccoli)
2 glasses red wine
avocado salad

As with the previous night, we were hosting my Mom and a friend of hers, and he was not a sushi fan. So both nights we got sushi and other cooked food. In this case, Japanese Steakhouse-style shrimp and steak (aka cooked on a very hot grill by a show-offy Japanese knife-wielder with an irresponsible amount of butter). Sometimes that means those who can eat both kinds of food (Sushi & Non-Sushi) fill up a little more than they should, but as always with a Saturday night splurge (and they seem to be piling up more and more) I know there is the Sunday Morning workout.

The service may have been slow but the food was terrific. And thanks for the sushi which was most welcome. Great seeing all of you. Love, MOM
