it all start'd on thursday. my team moved offices so we were welcomed with au bon pain cater'd breakfast. i got in around 7:40, so i ate a sandwich bag of dumplings & "choy sum" veggies with apple juicy juice. 9:00 comes along & ABP brkfst comes. i saw wilson with a choco croissant, but there were no more in the conference room, so upon complain'n, wilson cut me half of his. hehe. went back to my desk with my berry croissant & half of the choco one, then took out my chocochip muffin too, that i bot & forgot to eat the day before. didn't eat the berry croissant (still in my fridge @ the moment), but i ate both of the choco pastries with OJ. LOL! 2:00 comes along, i ate my Singapore curry vermicelli, made the night before. PIG!
for dinner, i made Japanese hamburg with House brand Japanese curry.
i had the hamburg with a glass of Sprite. I DO (DID) NOT DRINK SODA! growing up, i was always drink-deprived @ all the parties where no juice was offer'd. i didn't drink water or soda. i'm a weirdo & always will be. hehe. but i start'd loving water many years ago. i don't drink soda because the carbonation "stings". i start'd drink'n Sprite after 3 recent banquet dinners & now i crave it. finish'd one 1L bottle in the past week.
on friday, judy, sam & i went to mccormick & schmick's for restaurant week. BOY! were the portions HUGE? i had rice with string beans & chicken for breakfast with a Starbucks grande soy latte @ my desk around 8am. then met up for lunch @ 12:15. it was 3 courses for $20.11. i ate half of everything & I WAS SOOOO STUFF'D FROM IT! MY GOSH!
for course 1, i had caesar salad - it turn'd out 4 times bigger than i had expect'd. i ate half.
for course 2, i had fried gulf shrimp with fries & cole slaw. the entree turn'd out WAY big too! i was shock'd! it was yummy too! i loved how big the shrimp were! i ate all the shrimp & a little of the fries & slaw.
for course 3 - DESSERT!!!! YAY! - there were 3 choices - creme brulee, boston cream pie or flourless chocolate cake. i went with the boston cream pie. it came out as a giant custard layer'd cupcake & it was pretty yummy, but i only managed to fit half in my tummy.
after the big lunch, i was nervous about sushi buffet dinner for 2 reasons: 1) i won't eat my $'s worth, 2) i'll hav to pay for anything left un-eaten (hate this policy, but totally agree with it). after work, i had yet another Starbucks latte - this time an iced grande no classic (syrup) soy unshaken green tea latte. then pearl, diana & i shop'd for 2 hours before head'n to dinner. luckily, there was a 45 minute wait. good for me! but my pals were hungry.
when this piece of salmon teriyaki came, i was laugh'n @ how tiny it was. cheapos!
then this pork katsu (fried pork cutlet) came (same plate as above), i took back the "cheapo" comment.
and here's our sushi. we finish'd all but 2 pieces, so we didn't get charged extra for wasting food. as always, the sushi was delicious!!!
the next morning, saturday, diana & i went shop'n & end'd up so hungry, we bot food from target. 2 personal pepperoni pizza hut pizzas & 1 crispy rice treat for me.
for dinner, i cook'd diana come miso soup udon with silken tofu, and served her a nice glass of coke with 2 slices of lemon. Oh the service of me is unbeatable!
after we ate, we head'd out for pearl's b-day bash. irene was on way, but nothing was gonna stop us. i HAD to deliver the birthday cake!!! i got the cake idea the day before when we were shop'n & pearl point'd out a sign advertising "mango lychee sangria." this is my 1st time making mousse & a mirror cake. it was fun & satisfying as usual! i baked a thin sponge, sandwich'd it with mango mousse, strawberries & lychee, & top'd it with a color'd lychee jelly.
i don't usually do lychee, but john randomly order'd us lychee martinis, so i gave away my lychee fruit & enjoy'd the martini with my cake.
finally, here's what i had for lunch/dinner today. as part of the pig's routine, i slept until 11, then nap'd from 2-4. when i woke up, i made hamburg again, with onion this time & served with Japanese worchestershire sauce.
BTW thanks irene for leaving me unaffect'd by your hurricane self, excessive rain & strong 75mph winds. i am grateful!
