Food journal from a weekend at home

Friday - best eating day in a long long time


Chai Tea - Too much cinnamon not enough noticeable spice.

The Pink Door. Restaurant in Seattle. Best meal of my life.



Breakfast/Lunch (I slept late) - Dungeness Crab Caeser Salad - Wedge of lettuce, Parmesan cheese, light dressing (a lot of anchovies used in this batch), crab on top.

Clam linguine with spicy oil and lemon - Clams on top of linguine pasta spiced with red peppers, lemon, and some other magic that was too good to be true. This dish was one that made every other meal of the weekend fall short of the possibility of perfection. In fact, this dish made me believe in an elevated level of achieved excellence.

Wheat Bread - I dipped a full loaf of bread in the pasta sauce from my linguine because it was perfect. I ate bread and got it refilled till there was no more sauce to be enjoyed.


Home Cooked Dinner -

T-Bone steak - Marinated in italian dressing, ate around 16 oz. of steak.

BBQ'd Asparagus - exactly what it sounds life. Mmmmmm.



Making up for lack of Breakfast -

Dicks Drive In - Seattle's staple drive in. Hugely popular for all the right reasons.




Feast your eyes on the Dicks Deluxe:


1/4 pound of delicious ground beef, cheddar cheese, and a ground up mix of lettuce, mayonnaise, pickles, and Dicks special sauce. This burger is still #1 in my book and I would invite all challenges to find me a better one. Combine this with a chocolate shake, and these fries:


As you can tell, they are more than the simple thinly cut potato. These fries are floppy because of how they are only lightly fried. The real taste of farmed potatoes really comes through because of it not being overcome by the fatty oils that most restaurants douse their fries in. I am going to stop talking about this meal now because it is making me hungry and homesick. Dick's is too good to be true.



Saturday - Woke up late for the hike we had planned to had to grab and go from a Safeway. I proceeded to eat the worst chipotle wrap imaginable. I ate half of it until my heart burn told me to stop. It had chicken in some sort of hummus like paste with jalapenos. It tasted like a mistake.

Lunch -Casa D's Burrito - Sense I was home I got to head to another one of my favorite restaurant. White tortilla with a strip of melted colby jack cheese with rice and brown beans. Carne Asada in mass is what makes the burrito so delicious. After that add spicy pico de gallo, salsa verde, 1000 island dressing, and a line of level 10 habenero misery that I only get to overcompensate for my personal shortcomings. Everyone has something to prove. They give you a handful of tortilla chips to go along with it that help through the level of spice scorching the tongue.

Jarrito Mango Soda - made with 100% REAL cane sugar, Dios se bendiga Mexico!


Dinner - My favorite meal my mom cooks.

Chicken Pesto Pasta - honeycomb shaped pasta that traps the pesto in its tunnels. Barbecued chicken cut up and added to the whole dish. I ate so much of this it was too delicious.

Caeser salad - simple light homemade dressing on lettuce wedge.

Garlic Bread - crispy bread baked with garlic oil on top to add moisture.


Dessert - chocolate brownie, vanilla ice cream, raspberries, and chocolate syrup on top. My mom spoiled me.


Sunday - Mother's day. Generally, this day is not ideal for eating because men make food for the women of the household, and men are less able to make the most delicious of meals. However, I had the joy of having my two generations of mothers in my house, so my mom cooked a delicious breakfast.

Asparagus Keesh - classic keesh with spinach and asparagus. I had 2 or 3 bites, eggs are not my thing as the primary foundation of a meal.

Bacon - classic bacon. fairly thick in the way it was cut.

Bulgarian Buttermilk Pancakes - Called bulgarian buttermilk on the package, I bet it means nothing.



Simply Orange Juice with Mango - bottled orange juice

Fresh Raspberries

Maple Syrup


Late afternoon Lunch - I ate the rest of the pasta. So good.


Late Night Dinner - Illegal Pete's Burrito - Wheat tortilla, black beans, white rice, pesto, lettuce, tomatoes. Enjoyed with tortilla chips.

  1. Dear Scot-T although i do find your eating habits questionable, I do have one pressing question.

    "BBQ'd Asparagus - exactly what it sounds life. Mmmmmm."

    what does that mean, exactly what it sounds life? Is this a new term or something that I have not picked up on? Please fill me in.
    I think I grasp the concept but lack the knowledge of knowing what you mean. My confusion is exactly what it sounds life.

  2. Mr. MacNaughton,

    I meant sounds "like" not life. I am sorry that you have a mental lapse that disables you to infer, extrapolate, or problem solve. It must be hard to have an entire world of attempted understanding come crashing down by a one letter mistake. If you ever need any help with your academic work, you have my number and are welcome to let me know. I can always come help you out when you feel like you are drowning in confusion and lack of understanding of what the world is all about or a simple concept means.
