It's almost tomorrow on the left coast. Did anyone eat? Didn't want the day to pass without a dinner thread.

We picked up a rotisserie chicken and made a salad, so it was less than memorable. ;)
 
We had chicken too. Craig grilled mojo/adobo marinated thighs, as well as zucchini, red peppers and yellow squash. Cumin rice to go with .
 
One of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Mayan pork tacos (cochinita pibil) with pickled red onions and refried beans. And a margarita or two.
 
We went out to celebrate my birthday with the kids. Back to the same restaurant we had their birthday dinner at in December - Bourbon Street Barrel Room. We had an assortment of appetizers, then dinner. I reprised the Shrimp and Grits, Himself had Jambalaya, Loverly had blackened catfish, and Goober enjoyed his oyster Po-boy. Happy Hours on-tap beers were two bucks off, so we happily consumed two apiece. :mrgreen: Then off to touring spit-shined Cleveland for dessert. We didn't eat anything, seeing Cleveland WAS the sweet treat. :heart:

Sounds like the perfect evening :)
 
I diced up leftover pork and veggie souvlaki and put it on top of salad greens. Made a dressing by thinning tzatziki with half and half and made bruschetta topped with fresh basil pesto, chopped garden tomatoes and shredded Parmesan cheese. Delish.
 
I had an elk burger, heirloom tomato slices, and some cottage cheese. It didn't look very fancy, so I almost didn't post the photo, but here it is. Growing up in the midwest in the 1960s, a meal like this would have been called a "diet plate." It still is, in my book. :)

Last night I finally made a sweet and sour sauce I enjoy and ate it with a (small) chicken breast. I also added half a chopped onion and half a can of pineapple and ate the whole freakin' thing.

Something tells me I need to study portion control.
