The Mouse needed Rice

The Mouse was trying to cut down on carbs, including rice. But after being on a liquid diet (albeit only for a day) and doing internal flushing (prescribed), The Mouse wanted rice.

After a large drink of water, The Cat and The Mouse lunched.

Oyster Po’ Boy

The Cat’s. Came with a cup of chowder.

Steamed Clams, Potato, Andouille Sausage

With rice! Doctor said after drinking lots of fluid, The Mouse could eat. The Mouse ate. Hee hee.

After lunch, The Mouse wanted something sweet. So much for losing weight on a liquid diet (although that was not the purpose). Hee hee again.

Server recommended.

Fried Oreo Cookie

Three to an order with vanilla ice cream. The Cat ate most of the ice cream (The Mouse took lactase pills but still tried to take it easy on the stomach), The Mouse ate the cookies. Nom!

So doctor preliminarily gave The Mouse a clean bill of health pending lab results of two polyps that he removed. Hopefully, The Mouse doesn’t have to do this again for a while. The procedure wasn’t bad, the prep was more traumatic. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Japanese Hamburger Steak

This past Wednesday’s lunch.

Japanese Hamburger Steak Plate

Home-style hamburger patty topped with grated daikon, daikon sprouts, and tangy Ponzu sauce.

The grated daikon and ponzu sauce complimented the hamburger very well.

Stay safe and well.

Falafel Bahn Mi?

Middle Eastern dish from a “French” bakery, owned by Vietnamese. Fusion? One of the accounting staff is heading to medical school. Controller bought lunch for the section. The Mouse wanted to try something different. Sometimes, be careful what you wish for.

Falafel Banh Mi

Falafel, Harissa Hummus, Firecracker Sauce, Pickled Carrot & Daikon, Avocado, Cucumber, Cilantro. To The Mouse, the pickled carrot and daikon and the falafel kinda clashed in flavor, once the vegetables were removed, and eaten separately, the sandwich was pretty good. The bread was really good (better be since it’s supposed to be a French bakery).

The Mouse could only eat half. the other half was eaten for dinner. By that time the falafel kinda got squishy. Became more of a bean spread than falafel. Not as appetizing. Hee hee.

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Lunch Detour

The Mouse brought a sandwich and beets for lunch yesterday. One of the warehouse affiliates made a batch of poke. Dunno why, maybe overstock of ahi? The Mouse didn’t question. The sandwich eating got postponed to dinner. Hee hee.

Poke

Beets

The Mouse like these kinds of detours. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

More Fried Chicken

The Wednesday “warehouse give back” lunch where the owner pays a portion of the staff lunch in support of one of our restaurant customers. This time, one of our former salespeople bought a Korean chicken take-out spot. Talk about weird “family” ties. Hee hee.

Fried Chicken Bowl

Rice, fried chicken, mayo and sriracha sauce. The Mouse thinks new owner is still learning, batter was a bit thick, but the quantity made up for it. Probably still leaning technique.

The Mouse brought a little container of cauliflower for vegetables.

Cauliflower

Salt, pepper, oregano. Maybe next time The Mouse will ask the new owner/former salesperson to fry it up too. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.
