Weekend Menu

While my sweetie was home passed out like this this weekend...seriously, this is how he sleeps!

We took out BFF to a celebratory THANK GOD YOU FINALLY FINISHED SCHOOL meal...this is what we ate at Benihana's

a tea for me because I am STILL getting over what I'd like to think is the flu!

rice heart! thumpity, thump...

LML and BFFs meal (2 peas in a pod they are...) Filet Mignon!

Onion Volcano...so exciting when it's just an onion!

View of the window- it was the first snow *you can't tell though...*

After the blizzard began, we decided to be really crazy and head out to Astoria to shop. Maybe it was a mistake, because it was coming down hard, and our usually parking spot turned out to be a HIKE on the way to it when snow is kicking the crap out of you. Thankfully, we didn't go home much sicker/under the weather than we were when the day had started out!

The next day, we were supposed to go to the outlets in Riverhead, and got sidetracked by the Blizzard. LML woke me up (after shoveling the walk and thawing out our truck...I'm the luckiest girl in the world!) and said we should brave the storm. Eventually waking up from my long winter's nap...we got into the car, got our coffee and 'holiday' muffin (we only get muffins on extra-special occassions), and trekked all the way over to BFFs house to laugh at her stubborness. She wanted to stay home.

Until she found out we had four wheel drive. Then, she decided to come out with us. This is what we ate...and where we ate at!

My tea...because I'm scared to be sick ever again!

Yummy things that look like this!

That's all for the weekend menu...check out my blizzard post soon!!

Much Love and Stay Warm!

Weekend Menu

Welcome to our latest installment of Weekend Menu. Please note that my wonderful assistant spent Saturday in, with LML and I. We were all horribly under the weather, and I was taking Theraflu shots for the past two nights. Ew.
 Aside from a sicilian pizza from our wonderful neighborhood delivery joint, Coppola's, we ate...

Tomato Salad w/lots of evoo, and my 'trademark' spinach salad with craisins (dressing recipe my own), and LML's cherry peppers....yummy.

By Sunday, we were both feeling better enough to head outdoors for a little while...We get to our favorite sushi place, Minado...which we wound up at en route to another lunch-location we couldn't (and didn't want to) get to due to traffic.  You know it's been two weeks when the hostess says,

"MG, where have you been? It's been a long time!"

Me: You weren't here last time we came!

Her: Ah, yes. It must have been Saturday.

lol.

Our Menu?

I decided on the little cake testing for fun. The pink one was the best one (of course!) rasberry cake. Yum. Banana Cake and Mocha Cake were [unfortunately] not high on my list. Either that or I've lost my sweet tooth...

Sigh. This is what happens when you've become used to food food, and not sweets.

What did you do this weekend? Hope you all had a wonderful one!

Love,

MG

Weekend Menu

What you see pictured above is heaven. Absolute Heaven. There are days upon days that I dream of it- the sweet tofu. Yum. Yum yum.

Again, LML and I trekked (drove!) to Minado, which has the best sushi buffet ever. It is the ultimate in any sushi I have had thus far, give or take specific rolls at specific places. I have yet to try a different place for the new month rolling by, so if you are in the New York area or know of any outstanding sushi place, please let me know!

Above pictured is that plate that LML fixes for us when we get to the buffet. Isn't he wonderful? MMMM variety sushi...And the picture below? A roll that I cannot have due to lactose intolerance!! Sigh...

Please notice above some of the array of sweet tofu and other a la carte pieces. I tried to squeeze in to the photo pictures of sushi rolls, but my camera can only contain so much beauty!

And that is what we ate on Saturday. Sunday, however:

All above photos are taken at our neighborhood Pizzeria Uno's, which we had a coupon for so we used it. We also entrapped a certain special someone to come out with us and eat as a break from her tedious studying! The first photo is my [healthy] dish of herb crusted chicken, with whole grain rice, craisins and vegetable. The Chicken Spinnocolli (sp) with Penne for LML, and the Eggplant and Feta individual pizza for my 'client' (stop laughing!) Ms. New Jersey, United States.

Much Love,
