It was fun to have the family together, cooking. I hope Ruth doesn't mind me helping in the kitchen, or at least standing in the way.. :/ Went for a walk w.Quick, and then played some Sequence.
The next day was my Endo. What a drag.. sitting around. At least Jon got to see Press Your Luck before eating a crappy hospital sandwich.
Enjoyed some food @ David & Judie's later on. Highlight - our lefse? PICKLES!
Saturday we FINALLY made it to Aribel's. It was really fun.. my family was all adventurous and tried every section of the menu.
We enjoyed: Shrimp fried rice (my dad orders at every restaurant as sort of his trademark.. he said this is the BEST shrimp fried rice he has ever ever had (and he has had a lot).. but it may not be fair because it was SO different and good); beef pepper pot (I normally do not enjoy eating beef.. but this was NOT normal beef.. the owner/chef/only guy working explained it was flavored with molasses.. yum!); jerk chicken lo mein (also, very fresh and different taste), and the snapper curry (what an interesting, tasty (saltyfish) flavor) with extra veggies by request. Everything was so unique and tasty as can be... and very very reasonably priced.
reminder for next time: Keep asking for extra veggies.. they'll do it!
Sunday.. ate and ate and ate again. Breakfast of oatmeal, then breakfast #2 at Church ;)
Lunch -- um, did you know we like Quang? A lot? Yeah.
Seafood & Pork soup - it was great.. but I guess I was really in the mood for it. The veggie soup is just as good.. gosh it's so hard to order there.
even Jon's wontons w.red pork was also really nice... probably a more managable feat to finish up.
Dinner was pancakes of all sizes. Banana, cranberry orange, and apple pumpkin..hooray.
