Zippy’s!

The Mouse feels like he had a minor setback from the surgery. Doctor said progress is proceeding but maybe The Mouse was not fully prepared for the reality.

The back story, as part of the operation, doctor inserted a Foley catheter into The Mouse (which in itself was pretty uncomfortable/self conscious). The tube was removed this past Friday. And as a result, The Mouse’s “plumbing” is a little “lazy”. Control (both on and off) is a little unsettled right now (sorry TMI).

Long story short, The Mouse did take-out yesterday, less drama/trauma. One of the “go-to” places … Zippy’s

Burger Combo

Burger, fries, large drink (diet, not green river). Zippy’s burgers are in-between MikeyD’s and “gourmet” burgers. Not huge, not tiny either, not fancy, perfect for the situation yesterday.

Vegetarian Chili

The Mouse’s favorite “non-authentic” chili. 🙂

Bread Pudding, Whole Wheat Brownie/Blondie

Dessert, always there for you, good times or bad. Hee hee.

Doctor says the bladder muscles have gone through trauma, have to reset. Ugh.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Detour

The place we were planning for after Sunday farmers market was experiencing bathroom issues. So, a detour to the neighborhood “caffe”. The Cat and The Mouse were not disappointed.

Bowl of Berries

.

Norwegian Smoked Salmon Breakfast

The Cat’s usual.

Burger

The Mouse’s, notice the shiso leaves? The Mouse picked from our bucket on the way out, nice flavor addition to the burger.

Blueberry Bread Pudding

Meal started and ended with berries. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Repurposed

The Mouse eats … different … somtimes.

Often The Mouse orders a hamburger (not the MikeyD type), eats everything but the burger patty, and takes home the patty for future eats. Dunno why. Maybe to stretch the eating.

Always order rare so that the reheating doesn’t overcook.

Anyway, the two latest patties from Ruby Tuesday and Orchids at Halekulani (see previous posts).

Ruby Tuesday Burger Patty Bento

Okra, roasted carrots, dried parsley (an industrial-sized container in the warehouse kitchen that The Mouse has been using quite liberally.

Orchids Burger Patty Bento

Canned spinach, roasted carrot, natto, dried parsley.

The Mouse thinks the natto on the patty, best thing ever! Will be topping burgers with natto going forward. Nom! Hee hee!

Enjoy. Eat well.

Two-Fer

In The Cat and The Mouse case, it was a 2.5-fer. The Cat suggested lunch at Orchids Restaurant. Entree plus appetizer or dessert for special price. The Mouse was a little hesitant. Smaller portions? Still hungry after?

But, try try.

Lobby Decoration

When the restaurant’s name is Orchids …

The Cat’s order.

Crema All’Aragosta

Kona Maine Lobster Bisque, Lemongrass.

What is Kona Maine? Dunno, tasted good.

Homemade Lasagnette

Fresh Chef Pasta, Kahuku Prawns, Scallops, Avocado, Lightly Spiced. Think deconstructed lasagna, The Cat kept thinking won ton skin. Look Funn noods? Hee hee.

The Mouse chose.

Fried Calamari

One of the best The Mouse has eaten, not greasy, super crispy. Nom!

Orchids Burger

8 oz. Prime Burger, Shiitake Sauté, Romaine, Tomato, Onion, Bacon, American Cheese, Guacamole. More nom.

Server suggested we cannot leave without indulging in their signature coconut cake. Twist our arms/paws.

Halekulani’s Signature Coconut Cake

Chiffon Cake, Coconut-Amaretto Cream.

A little on the pricey side for lunch, but not not “break the bank, OMG what were you thinking!” pricey. More affordable than dinner. Not everyday, but once in a while. Hope to be back in the not too distant future.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Tuesday on Sunday

After a hiatus, back at Ruby Tuesday.

Kinda same-o-same-o.

Half Rack

For The Cat.

Classic Burger

For The Mouse.

No Mudd pie today. The Cat still trying to lose some “fluffiness”.

Instead, fruit and cottage cheese from the salad bar.

The Cat Playing with Food

The Mouse still trying to determine if influence is Rorschach or Pollock or someone/thing else. Feel free to add two cents. Hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.
