Fiesta Friday

Sort of. So the Kitchen has been a bit lonely as of late because Ms Jones (and yes, I'm referrring to myself in the third person) has been a little busy. So no fun unnecessary projects have been going on. But hopefully, a few creative dinners will come over the next week in my attempt to eat myself out of house and home before I go on vacation starting on April 7th.

Last night I went out to dinner with a few friends of mine at a classic Bowling Green restaurant El Zarape. Normally, I'm impressed with the eats there. Totally worth the money and you leave adaquately fed. Not the case last night when I ordered the Zarape Salad. Basically a green salad with grilled shrimp. No big deal...but what I was expecting and what I got were two totally different things. At any given time, I can pretty much be expected to pack away my body weight in veggies. This left alot to be desired. I think about 5 teensy shrimp and a couple cups of iceberg coupled with a few pepper slices and onions. I would have been 10 times better off with the veggie skillet. So if you go there and are expecting a good sized meal out of the Zarape Salad...think again and go with a Vegetarian combo.

Tonight my father is in town and has his heart set on Fujiyama for a giant plate of sushi. I'm going to try to get him to switch to the new Bistro Wasabi in Levis Commons. Keep your fingers crossed gang. Sushi Saturday for all.

Sunday most of my day will be spent at Ford Field for the totally cooking unrelated Wrestlemania. But you can bet that I'll have a field cuisine report on your desktops early next week.

I think I require more coffee...
