Adventures in eating....or eating out for all three meals in one day!

Thursdays are tough. I have a 7 a.m. meeting. The people that are supposed to bring snacks/breakfast did not show.

I find that annoying. Luckily, I was able to run out to my car and get an orange. I get very tense when no food is available and I might get hungry. I actually was hungry this morning so I found it even more stressful than normal.

I didn't have to be in court so I went out to breakfast with my buddy KBK. I had delicious oatmeal with fruit at Jimmy's. (I am rather impressed that Jimmy's has a website!)

I then went out to lunch with my office buddy (the same one that I brought food for because I made too much salad and pasta salad with olives and sun dried tomatoes is one of those foods that the husband will not eat). We went to Fuji's in Wollaston. Fuji's does not appear to have a website.

Then, after a rather intense afternoon (and for some reason I was totally exhausted), the husband and I set out to find dinner. I was unusually tired - as was he. I think maybe the pollen is getting to us.

He wanted something casual and Italian. I first suggested the Venetian in Weymouth, but then thought of Caffe Tosca...a delicious fun Italian place. Early McPrompt and I went there last week.

It will now be classified under places the husband will not eat. The pasta was not boring enough, too many ingredients. So we left.

Then we went to Saporitos, another Italian place in Hull. I had never been, but had heard good things. This time we actually sat down...it is a very cute little place. Again, too complicated. We left.

Finally we went to DiNero's, where the husband was able to have his Chicken Parmesan. I had little necks with linguine and a white wine sauce, which was actually very delicious.

For the record, the husband is actually a very good husband, and not normally so picky.

Last night - at the Kan Man Marketplace

I've been a little behind today in my blogging. Thursdays tend to be very long days. Last night I went to the Kan Man Marketplace with Early McPrompt and Amy. Check out their blogs for a photo recap of our adventures.

It was very fun and I tried Vietnamese food. Turns out that Vietnamese Pad Thai is very hot and spicy. I like hot and spicy, but this was too hot and spicy for my meat and potato roots.
(The husband says that my family doesn't eat colored food - just yellows and whites...which by the way is not actually true.)

So I got what Amy got. I forget what it is called, but it was yummy.

I also discovered that there are many, many, many different kinds of noodles. In fact, there was an entire aisle of noodles! I can't wait to try them out!

Oh, and I had ice cream last night, a cup of vanilla with some Brighams' chocolate sauce. I love Brighams. Strangely, when I was younger I really didn't like just plain vanilla ice cream - but it's grown on me and it is delicious!
