Real men...

I also bought a piece of quiche for lunch while I was at the supermarket.

Memories of France

I stopped at the supermarket on the way home from the doctor's today and couldn't resist a chocolate croisssant...just like the ones I had in France last year.

Namaste Nepal

A new Indian/Nepalese restaurant opened this week, in the location where a Mexican restaurant closed recently. They sent out discount coupons and we decided to check it out.


Since it's a brand new restaurant which hasn't established a clientele yet, they cook everything to order and told us it would be 15 minutes before our order was up. But they gave us this "Vegetable Mo-Mo" for an appetizer. They were steamed vegetable dumplings that tasted like they had some pickling spices in them. They were served with two different chutneys.


I ordered Lamb Coconut Tarkari, which is a coconut based lamb curry and is the lighter colored of the two dishes over the rice. Walt ordered Lamb Mushroom Tarkari, which is boneless lamb and mushrooms cooked with herbs and spices, according to the menu. Both were delicious.


And, of course, on the left of the plate is a garlic-basil naan bread, my favorite!

Good scones!

I don't usually order scones in the US because they are usually very dry, but this one, from Ciocolat in Davis, was extraordinary. It was only lacking clotted cream and jam to make it a real British experience! I had this at a late morning meeting and, since I knew we were going out to dinner, made it my lunch.

Leftovers

One nice thing about having Blackberry Buckle for dessert is that, like pumpkin pie, it makes a great breakfast too!

Dessert

I bought some blackberries at Costco and thought I'd make a pie, but Walt has been sampling them, so there wasn't enough for pie. Instead I made a blackberry buckle, which was also pretty tasty.

Dinner

Another little lamb chop, an ear of corn and a roll. Nothing exciting.

Lunch

Walt and I split the leftover raviolis from last night's dinner for lunch today.

Yum...cherries!

Walt picked up some cherries at the farmers' market and we both enjoyed them for a snack.

Jimmy Dean

A Jimmy Dean sausage and egg croissant with a glass of orange-strawberry-banana juice.

Dinner

Cheese raviolis with Parmesan cheese, creamed spinach

A quasi-healthy lunch

More Bagels

Almost out of bagels for breakfast!

Celebrate Davis

This isn't exactly a dinner shot, but it sorta is. We went to the "Celebrate Davis" event tonight and I had a beef and cheese pirogi for dinner...you can see them on the middle shelf of that case on the right side of the table. (Naturally even with two cameras in my hand and a cell phone at my waist, I forgot to take a photo of MY pirogi!)
