Oops. Rushed off to work yesterday and didn’t push the post button. 😦
Local Ruby Tuesday ran a weekend special, two entrees, a petite sirloin and a shrimp pasta for special price. The entree selection perfect for The Cat and The Mouse.
Petite Sirloin, Mashed Potato, Broccoli

Parmesan Shrimp Pasta
Can you guess who ate what? Hee hee.
The Cat needed a sugar boost from all the late nights she’s been putting in.
Mudd Pie
Nom!
Stay safe and well.

Restaurant The Mouse thought closed for good has risen like a phoenix, Sakura Terrace. For a long time, the place was boarded up (even before lock-down). The Mouse guesses owner wanted to protect the property from vandals.
Heading to doctors appointments, The Mouse drove by, surprised that the boards were taken off and new signage was up. After getting a sorta clean bill of health. The Mouse went to investigate. 🙂
Mural
Hmm. Two sumo wrestlers on surfboards riding waves, one with a SPAM musubi and one chasing origami paper cranes. Meaning? The Mouse dunno.
Limited menu, take-out only for now. Two items, unusual to The Mouse’s eyes (not bento).
Pipikaula Salad
Salted and dried beef, spinach, poached egg, mushroom, w/ house dressing.
Ready to Eat
An instant favorite salad for The Mouse. Chef used king oyster mushrooms! Extra points!
The second non-bento item The Mouse ordered.
Maguro Burger
Another instant fave for The Mouse. Came with satsuma imo (sweet potato) fries.
The maguro was breaded and deep fried to perfection. The Mouse kinda cannot eat McD’s filet of fish for a while. Different league.
Oh, and the little message on the take-out boxes added to the experience.
Take-Out Boxes
Cute yeah?
The Mouse was a happy mouse. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

The Mouse picked up from the grocery store. Original plan was for fruit. Hee hee.
Pumpkin Crunch
One of The Mouse’s newest favorite go-to noms. As a bonus, the people that produce this yummy treat are part of a non-profit that aims to build independence for thousands of people living challenged lives.
Plus, isn’t pumpkin healthy? Hee hee.
The cat also brought home a treat for The Mouse.
Blueberry Pie
Limited quantity, only made on Fridays. 🙂
Blueberries are fruit, right? 😉
The Mouse heard that there is now oat milk ice cream. There is hope. Hee hee.
Stay safe and well.

Zippy’s chili. The Mouse knows, not “authentic”, local. Usually, The Mouse orders the vegetarian option without rice. But The Mouse was feeling a little “weird”, ordered original (meat and beans).
Chili Rice
The Mouse added an egg, not the soft scramble like Chef Gordon Ramsey, but the more aggressively hot fried like Chef Kristen Kish.
Chili Rice with Egg
The Mouse nommed. Kinda a riff on loco moco without the beef patty. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Wednesday lunch. Boss is still doing the Wednesday support of our customers. Pays for half of the cost of lunch for staff. This week, The Mouse chose salmon bento.
Salmon Bento
The Mouse paid less than $5.00. Not bad, a little on the smallish side, but good for office lunch, otherwise The Mouse might get sleepy. Salmon was well cooked, except the skin wasn’t crispy. The Mouse and The Cat are spoiled by Chef H’s cooking skills. 🙂
Stay safe and well.
