Friday Dinner

We were experimenting on this newly opened restaurant.

Food is being prepared right in front of you.

I got the classic doner - seasoned lamb and veal mixture in very thin slices, roasted on a rotisserie. Instead of having it as a sandwich i got the platter that came with rice, humus shepherd salad and some sauce. I am not sure if it is a Turkish food or Greek but it was delicious.

My daughter got the Classic Burger with american cheese, lettuce, tomato and red onion. It was too big. She only finished half of it.

For hubby, he got the chicken shish kebab, marinated chicken breast chr grilled on skewer but since he chose on a sandwich so it came on a big bun.

Our Photo From Friday

Here is our photo at the Max Restaurant last friday. My nephew is seated right across with my daughter next to him. The two guys are his co-workers at the boat. Hubby took the photo. Bon voyage guys!

What's For Dinner?

So, what's cooking?

I can smell fried tilapia flillet, sinigang na hipon and eggplant torta. Hubby is cooking. Just the smell makes me so hungry already. Thanks to my wonderful husband for doing the cooking tonight.

Tired And No Time To Cook

Because we went to Costco after coming from work (around 6pm), so we just decided to buy the chicken wrap, pizza and caesar salad from there for our dinner. The caesar salad was big enough for us with huge slices of chicken breast. I tell you, the best time to go to Costco is during weekdays, less crowd, no line at the cashier and easy to get a parking. If you are curious how much gas at Costco (I'm from North Jersey) right now, it's $3.25. So that's it for a quick update. Later.

Quick Dinner At Sarku

We had a quick dinner tonight at Sarku before hubby went to play tennis. We both had our favorites - chicken teriyaki. Hubby had the extra meat with extra sauce. It's yummy.

Price for one meal is $5.99 plus $1.50 for extra meat.

Splitting Family Dinner Times at Christmas

Guest post of the week by Brittany Booker

Having a few families to visit over the holiday season and trying to visit with everyone can get a little tricky. All of the family talked it over and each schedule parties so each side of the family can have a party without interfering with another one. The weekend before Christmas is one of the family parties that we exchange gifts, play games and have fun with the kids. Since we are gone all day, we lock the house and set the home security systems, especially at this time of year.

Most of the grown kids with family of their own want to spend Christmas with their little ones and we find as a family, splitting up days, overall works better for everyone. We do a gift exchange to save money on buying presents for everyone, and the kitchen load for who is having it, is lessened by having everyone bring something. It is about the only time of the year when everyone can get together, which is what makes it extra special. Paper plates and cups make it easier to clean up quickly, some may frown on it, but it is a time for family and not a time to worry about dirty dishes.

Impromptu Dinner @ Charlie Brown

As I was doing my online work, hubby called telling me and my daughter to get dressed and we are going out for dinner and he is on his way home. I thought he would be staying late at work because of the snow (as they normally do but maybe because this snow is not that big, they sent them home early), so we hurriedly took our bath. I was already cooking some dinner when he called but Charlie Brown is more inviting than what I was cooking. When he got home, we are already dressed so we just waited for him to take a shower and off we went.

Charlie Brown is one of our favorite steakhouse. I love their salad bar. They used to have chunks of cheeses on their salad bar but i don't see them anymore now. For tonight, I only have some greens, macaroni, potatoes, croutons with 1000 island dressing plus the some raisin and almond bread for appetizer. I don't want to get full on the salad because I know my food is coming out in minutes. But the salad is good and it is eat all you can! Then for the main course, hubby had the filet minon with baked potatoe while i had the tilapia with seasoned rice. Hubby's steak was HUGE! And, the daughter had her favorite kid's meal - the mozeralla sticks with french fries.

It was an early dinner at 6pm. There were not many guests at the restaurant because of the snow storm earlier. The snow has stopped but it is freezing turning all the snow into ice which is not good. Too slippery.

So, we're back home. Thanks papa for a nice friday dinner.
