What's for dinner?

[Very Duke Blue]

Grilled shrimp with Old Bay, salad, hush puttpes and a glass of wine.

I had roast beef, mashed potatoes, squash and green beans. It's my last solid meal for a long time.

Did I miss something? You ok?

Are you getting braces or just undergoing an extended prep for your colonoscopy?

I served dinner to the youth group - baby greens, spinach, grilled chicken, carrots, grape tomatoes, cheese, croutons, honey almonds, salad dressing of their choice.

I wish I'd been in your youth group growing up. We usually ended up with cold, tasteless pizza, if we had any food besides chips and dip in the first place.

They get a variety of dinners, just depending on what the hosts want to serve each Sunday. I've done lasagna and chili in the past. They have done the pizza thing before - I think they are pretty much happy with whatever they get.

Totally inadequate. Tasted ok, but I hope B doesn't pick it up again. It's supposed to serve 4. Maybe if two of the ones who are being fed are under 5.

Yoplait light and creamy yogurt, cinammon roll (my fave), with some granola mixed in.

[CathyCA]

A tablespoon of chocolate FroYo.

[ArkieDukie]

Carryout from Bobo Noodle House. I had a sinus headache, and spicy food often helps. At least, that was my excuse.

[devildeac]

Chicken pot pie. Homemade. Sort of.

Okay... this is crazy, but here it goes:
Rice
Soy sauce soaked something
Salmon (Dry, overcooked)
Potato cake (inside mashed, with pea, 2 carrot cubes, and 3 corn kernels)
A wrapped yellow cold something with the consistency of stuffed derma,
A pink and white congealed something sliced thin
Something that looked like a battered fried banana, but which must have been some sort of seafood part
Soy sauce soaked something #2
A dollop of boiled potato in mayo (or is it cottage cheese)
Pickled ginger strips
Pickled astringent plum
4 udon noodles
NOTE: Think this will appear on the next brunchgate menu?

Next time have the conference in Korea. I think their food is better.

Here's the kicker: this is a Japanese fast food place.

I am going to try to visit a restaurant near campus of which one Kyoto mathematician posted the following :
"Go to TENCHU without wondering about anything else! Its Tenpura courses (price around 3,500yen without drinks) are very very very good! Be there! Eat! Before you die! " [from: http://www.math.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~kato/Others/food.html]
3500 yen is approximately $44. As I said, it's expensive here, but I guess this math prof knows something.

As for what I did after eating part of that meal, I went to a 7-11-like place and a bakery.

One of the things I loved about Japan was the "hole-in-the-wall" restaraunts that are in abundance. And I also loved how they had their dishes displayed..they were plasticized versions of the real thing. So all you had to do was point at one of them to order.

I am now recalling discussions on another thread when we criticize American food photographers for staging food. ;)

Not every restaurant has these here... in fact, many of those hole-in-the-wall places do NOT have those things. And those things would still not warn me that the fried-banana like object is really some sort of battered-fried rubberish seafood.

OMG... maybe I was eating part of the plasticized version of the real thing?!

I'm going to guess that your fried-banana like object was sea cucumber. Many moons ago, a plastic spring roll was put out on the buffet table at a cocktail party in Tokyo. Someone took a bite before they realized it was plastic. They figured it out quickly and left the rest on the table. You would know if you ate the plastic food.
