Holiday “Brunch”

You know we had to go back.

Doorway

More like a bagel/sandwich shop/deli combo.

The Cat ordered a hummus bagel.

Hummus Bagel

The Mouse ordered a kalua pork biscuit slider.

Kalua Pork Biscuit Slider

Shared a “Chinese” chicken salad with mandarin orange and won ton strips.

Chicken Salad

The bagel was good, the slider wasn’t bad, the salad was okay. The dressing was good though. Just the amount charged for the salad was a little higher than what the dish delivered. The bagel and slider prices were more reasonable.

The Cat wants to come back to try more stuff. She liked the coffee.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Tuna Thursday

Started nondescript enough.

Sandwich on the run, from Watanabe Bakery.

Tuna Sandwich and Potato Salad Sandwich

The tuna sandwich is a tuna sandwich. Okay. The potato salad sandwich, a long-time “favorite” novelty.

Dinner was a combination of cleaning out the refrig and a continuation of the tuna theme.

White Stem Cabbage
Bitter Melon
Celery

A quick sauté of each, a tin of tuna, some olives, and capers.

The Mouse’s Tuna Salad

Much better than the sandwich. But one was on the run, and one was “created”.🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Sunday Recap

Not too much happened.

Normal visit to farmers market for apple bananas.

Picked up a dragon fruit (first time).

Dragon Fruit

Vendor said it was ripe, sliced it up for dinner. Not bad, very mild flavor.

Brunch/lunch at Zia’s.

Express Lunch(es)

The Cat had soup (tomato bisque) and salad, The Mouse ordered salad and pasta (spaghetti marinara).

The spaghetti reminded me of small-kid-time cafeteria spaghetti (in a good way), plain and simple.

The Cat couldn’t finish her salad. Took it home and added it to her dinner soup.

Vegetable Soup with Mochi Rice Cake

A new definition of “soup and salad”. Hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Nom. I think they forgot the guava BBQ sauce. Didn’t need it, but would’ve been nice to try it. Sigh.

Yes, would order again.

Happy Friday!

Enjoy. Eat well.
