D is for Dining Out

Today, I'm going to describe my fantasy day of dining out. Six small meals. A graze pig out.

My full day of dining out would be in San Francisco. With the dear Husband, of course.  We would be doing a lot of wandering around the city to get our appetites up for the next meal.

Breakfast: A chocolate croissant, from a real French patisserie, with a big cup of organic coffee.

Snack: Half a fresh organic papaya. The Husband gets the other half.

Lunch: Dim sum. Yummm. Stuffed eggplant. Taro cake. Sticky rice in lotus leaf. Chinese broccoli smothered in lots of garlic.

Snack: One old-fashioned doughnut hole. Okay, maybe two.

Dinner: Without doubt, a Korean dinner where we grill kalbi, tender short ribs, at the table. And, that isn't even the best part of the meal. That belongs to the banchan, the several small dishes of vegetables that are served on the side. Some spicy such as kimchi cabbage,  kimchi radish, and spicy beans. Some kinda sweet or mild to balance the spicy, such as spinach, potato, and bean sprouts. Give me a bowl of rice and banchan, and I'm happy. Mmmmmm.

Snack: A scoop of lemon ice cream in a bowl.

There you go.

    1. Not at all! I may just order me some papayas, too. The papayas in the market are so yucky tasting.

  5. The chocolate croissant sound delicious..actually it all does. The donut holes I think we call them Timbits up in Canada land. I believe people pray to Tim Horton's up here. It is a donut and coffee shop that also now serve bagels and lunches (like soup, sandwiches etc...) There are more Timmy's in my city than anywhere else in Canada. People are lined up in the morning at the drive thru. It's nuts and Tim's is an institution in Canada

  6. What a great way to spend the day...from one delicious meal to the next. The old fashion donut hole sounds a great snack, and the dinner....wonderful exotic foods. Of course that is coming from a TexMex pallet. Well done for 'Letter D'.

    1. If I had an extra meal, I would've thrown in either paella or chile relleno.

  7. That's how I like to eat when we travel. I want to try everything so a couple of big meals doesn't make sense at all. I like your choices!

    2. Cooool! Adobo chicken, especially chicken wings, is very yummy. So far, I haven't liked it with beef, maybe I haven't found the right combo of vinegar. If the Mama is not eating, I like to spice up the adobo with cayenne or siracha sauce.

  9. Wow your dream meal is making me hungry. I want some good garlic eggplant now :).

  10. I'm a simple gal with simple tastes but remember a Korean meal cooked by the wife of a new friend. It was delicious!
