When hubby and I first bought this place a couple of years ago, we found this great steak place. Not a chain, but clearly designed to be competition for The Outback. We were very disappointed when it closed about a year ago.
So last week, when I heard on the radio that it had re-opened, I said :) . Hubby and I went there for dinner last night.
We started by sharing a hot crab/shrimp/lobster dip appetizer (served with tri-colored tortilla chips). Then I ordered the grilled seafood: a lobster tail, a skewer of scallops, and a skewer of shrimp. Oh, with a sweet potato on the side, and a salad. I ate enough of the salad to convey a little of their excellent bleu cheese dressing to my mouth, but basically saved my room for seafood. Still, by the time I was full, I was left with three shrimp, three scallops, and half of the lobster tail. When I asked for a take-out box, the waitress was kind enough to put the clarified butter and the cocktail sauce in little souffle cups with lids for me.
So, for breakfast, I’m having my seafood, plus a few bites of sweet potato.
We went trick-or-treating in my sister’s neighborhood, and halfway through, Mom took over for me in walking with the girls because my allergies were getting the best of me (thanks, Sis’ cat). Sis left me watching the large amount of chicken she was cooking - not sure what spices she put on it, but it smelled great. We ended up taking some of it home because there was so much of it. For breakfast I had some of that chicken, wrapped in a flour tortilla with some curly lettuce. It tasted as good as it smelled.
Mmmmm. That sounds good! And makes me hungry for tomorrow’s breakfast: the hubby had to go a couple of hours out of town today, and he and his helper stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch; he brought me home his leftover boneless fried chicken breast, and two buttermilk biscuits! So tomorrow, it’ll be fried chicken and a biscuit for breakfast! Yay! (I frequently eat leftover dinner for breakfast).
I love a lot of seafood, but oddly enough, I don’t typically like fish. (I make an exception for canned tuna that’s made into tuna salad, and fish fillets that are so heavily breaded and fried that they lose most relationship to fish); however, if you put it in a garlic beurre blanc, I’d probably eat just about anything. . .
My favorite breakfast is cold fried shrimp leftovers. I love going to eat seafood because the portions are so HUUUGE, that I can always eat my fill for dinner and have enough leftover to have breakfast the next morning. Cold. Right out of the fridge. I did not have that today though, unfortunately. Today was potato bread toast with butter and blackberry jelly.
Tomorrow’s break-fast (which is what it is, after all) will be cold prime rib, cold butterflied garlic shrimp, and key lime pie! Leftovers from my unbirthday party, at a very pricey restaurant with window seating overlooking Turnagain Arm in Anchorage, Alaska - mountains and water. I didn’t celebrate the real deal on Oct. 11.
Traditional sunday breakfast, 2 slices bacon, 2 eggs [scrambled today, miscellaneous herbs and a pinch of sharp cheddar cheese] 1 piece toast with butter, one of the tiny bananas that are half the length of regular bananas.
I made an awesome omelette for breakfast/brunch when we got home from mass today. Onion, red pepper, crumbled bacon, tomatoes, cheese and spinach. Plus toast and strawberry all-fruit, no sugar topping. And OJ.
It’s the day after Halloween. I have a three-year-old daughter who listens when I say “Too much candy is bad for you, so you can have one piece each day”. There’s about 700 pieces of candy in this kid’s haul bag.
