Birthday Lunch

Yesterday was my birthday.  I ate way too much at both lunch and dinner.  Oh well.  One day a year is not a huge deal.


At the top left is a butternut squash soup.  I thought it was alright, but apparently later batches were too salty.  The main plate has a bunch of curry, but it was just OK, I don't even think I ate it all.


They had some tomato and mushroom pizza, so I had two small pieces of that.


I also had some of the Brussels sprouts.


And a piece of chocolate cake, since it was my birthday.

Fried Rice And A Mini-Shake

Lunch yesterday was pretty good. I grabbed a big plate of fried rice, but most of that is bean sprouts and broccoli. There is just a thin veneer of fried rice over the top. I think there is also some scrambled egg in there. I added some teriyaki sauce and some Sriracha for kick. It was good! I had a Diet Coke to go along with it.
Afterward, I headed over to the ice cream parlor/soda fountain and had them make me a teeny tiny cherry shake. Yum!

Thai Food!

Lunch at work today was catered Thai food! Yum! A nice spread, with all but two dishes being vegetarian.
First up, good ol' Pad Thai with tofu. It was surprisingly tasty given the quantities in which it was served. I've found that noodle dishes in general are very difficult to produce in quantity without seriously hurting quality.
Next was a new dish I hadn't heard of, but was willing to give a try: Phad Pahk. This contained fried broccoli, cabbage, green beans, mushrooms, carrots, white onion, celery, and bell pepper. Hard to argue with that, so I took some.
And who could forget the curry? Red curry with tofu. Yum! Served with Jasmine rice, naturally.

I hooked myself up with a moderate portion of each of the three things, added a little crushed peanut and some bean sprouts.
The weather outside was gorgeous, so that's where we ate. There's my trusty Platt mug. Couldn't get a good shot of the lake and the food at the same time. Stupid railing!

It being Thai food, my second favorite food, I had to go back for some seconds on the Pad Thai and the curry. A moderate second portion of each.
Afterward, I almost had a Starburst, but I decided that since I had seconds at lunch, I have to avoid snacks for the rest of the day, and probably eat a small portion at dinner.
