We had a sort-of staffish meeting and I cut up some fruit: strawberries (really tart, hence the sugar dish), banana, pineapple
Chips and salsa
I had sent John and Astrid to sleep over at his parents' house so I could have my lef up without people hitting it constantly. Then Allison and I girded our loins and had a Charmed Season 8 marathon to finally finish the series. There was sushi and gluten-free pastry involved.
Starting with a wakame salad (from Wasabi Bistro)
Mucho sushi: shiitake mushroom maki, spinach and cream cheese maki, sunrise roll, two pieces of a veggie crepe roll, two pieces of tamago sushi and a gross smoked salmon sushi piece
Look at my angry leg-flesh!
We shared the bottom two: chocolate cake and the banana split. OH GOD SO GOOD.
Okay, and we shared this one, too. An espresso mousse cup. OMG.
Pizza! Whole wheat crust and sauce from De Luca's with knobs of fresh mozzarella and a sprinkle of smoked cheddar. Fresh basil, too!
Last year, I purchased this from the Salvation Army Store thinking, "Oooo, soft serve with stuff mixed in! From hard ice cream! Great idea!" I haven't used it and John has made fun of me for buying it since then.
So we used it. It was a disaster! It basically melted the ice cream instead of doing anything good. We lost like half a carton of good ice cream, too. Where it went I'm not sure.
I couldn't eat it all as you see...
John continued to mock me while he sipped his ice cream
What a mess! This will either be donated, left outside or sold in a yard sale. The reviews for it on Amazon are pretty spot on!
