stay in the shallow end

I just stumbled upon this, and it’s inspired me to get out this week’s last week in food:

Monday: Lunch at Lee’s Grill: I’ve written about Lee’s Grill once before, but this visit made me really appreciate it. I ordered the $4.95 Teriyaki Chicken lunch special. The dish consisted of a huge pile of chicken next to a huge pile of vegetables next to a pile of seasoned white rice. It wasn’t anything special, but it was prepared perfectly, and this time, easy on the oil. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal.

Tuesday: Lunch at Lee’s Grill: In fact, we enjoyed it so much, we came back the next day, and I ordered the same thing. I also added the Cold Sesame Noodles appetizer, but they were pretty disappointing. I’d rank them behind both Marco and Luca and Noodle Bar.

Wednesday: Lunch at Saigon Cafe: I ordered the Singapore Noodles, which is what I ordered in Week #15. They were just as excellent, and I ended up eating the whole plate and then wishing I was dead because my stomach hurt so much.

Friday: Dinner at Christian’s Pizza: I managed to make it in the door as they were closing up, and they had a half cheese pizza and a slice of Greek left. I took the Greek slice, and it was just as delicious as you would expect a slice of pizza to be after having a half dozen beers.

Saturday: Dinner from Asian Express: lpk was out of town for the weekend, and I still haven’t gotten around to getting the tires replaced on my car, so I was pretty much homebound. Saturday night, I ordered some Chirashi from Asian Express. It was 15 pieces of fish on a bed of rice, but I forgot about my experience last time I ordered form them. Three of the pieces of fish are stinky in a way that makes me want to throw up, and as soon as I took the lid off I smelt it. I quickly wrapped up those pieces and threw them out. The other 12 pieces weren’t bad though, but it’s hard to judge, because I don’t think my mind could ever believe that sushi delivery was high quality.

That’s it. If you’ve read this far, then I’ve proven Margaret Mason wrong!
