Chinese food from Safeway's deli (Saturday lunch,
05/21/05): Included chicken chow mein, fried rice, pork egg
rolls and sweet and sour chicken.
Kyoto Teriyaki Restaurant (I can
live with this every day, but we had it for Saturday's dinner
05/21/05): Tender chicken teriyaki, white sticky rice, steamed
veggies, Gyoza and Japanese egg rolls. The egg rolls from Kyoto
have a paper-thin coating rather than the doughy crust of the
Chinese variety.
Casa de
Oro (another favorite; lunch on Sunday 05/22/05): The
appetizers include warmed thin tortilla chips with salsa and
refried beans. My entry was a cheese enchilada, a shredded
chicken burrito, refried beans and Mexican rice. I'm not usually
a big fan of
refried beans, but the dish at
Casa de
Oro is the best. A few months ago Wilbert asked the waiter
how the beans were made, so we're going to try the restaurant
version at home in the near future.
Home-cooked meals (05/23/05): Wilbert made breakfast
pancakes for his mother. I refrained. However, come lunchtime I
assembled chicken and salami sandwiches for me and my
mother-in-law as Wilbert and his brother were off seeing the
latest Star Wars epic "Revenge of the Sith."
Eating Outdoors (05/24/05): We had a lovely time in the
backyard with our new table set and the barbeque. On the menu
was teriyaki steak,
Grilled Potatoes Labrecque, fresh sliced mushrooms sautéed
in butter, mixed vegetables, steamed broccoli and grilled hot
dogs. We ended up taking the food inside the house because the
day grew quite warm, but we were all well-satisfied by the time
the feasting was over. Wilbert and his brother even had a few
glasses of
Canadian Mist.
Mid-Week Grub (05/25/05): One of Wilbert's favorite
breakfast dishes is "Huevos Con Tomate Cebolla," which is merely
scrambled eggs with tomato and onion. After the eggs are cooked,
he scoops them up in bites with flour tortillas warmed on the
stove element, never lifting a fork. His mother and brother
hadn't had the dish for a long time, so he prepared it Wednesday
morning. George is not normally a breakfast eater either, but he
loved "Huevos Con Tomate Cebolla." Side bits included fried spam
slices and hash browns. Since Elva developed Parkinson's disease
and continues to struggle with other medical issues, she hasn't
prepared food in quite a while so home-cooked meals are
appreciated.
I
had leftover steak for lunch on Wednesday (05/25/05), and dinner
was from
Dominoes Pizza. We all sat down with slices and watched the
DVD "Gangs of New York," which was a gift sent to me from a
friend.
