Impromptu Lunch With The Boys at Seafood Cove # 1

 September 27, 2022

Spur of the moment lunch today with the guys.  Have graduated from the wheelchair to the walker which made it easier to transport me.   We all seemed to be hungry today so no leftovers. We devoured everything.

Hot Sour Soup - was thicker than normal but good flavor.

Salt and Pepper Fish Filet - very good, Light , crunchy batter and very good white fish.

Calamari House Special. Deep fried pieces of calamari with a light sauce and peppers. 

Beef Chow Fun. Pieces of flank steak seared in a extremely hot wok with wide, flat noodles Thai Style and sauce.  A bit dry today.

 Dessert was a warm Tapioca with dates and seaweed. 

Still not drinking but had a taste of the two wines

Lunch With The Boys, Seafood Cove # 1

 September 15, 2022

Great to be back doing lunches with the guys. CJ picked me up. Still in wheelchair. I wanted to pick upm the tab for today's lunch in appreciation for all the help Hanry and CJ have given me during this long recovery from the accident.  So I decided it was going to be lobster. With prices soaring in today's market this would be a real treat. 

Started out with the Hot Spicy soup. Always has a tendency to be different depending on the chef that day.

Seafood Cove cooks lobster about 6 different ways. We chose the scallion, ginger version today. Lobster comes out on a platter already cut in serving size pieces. Exceptionally good. 

Also had a dish of green beans with minced pork and basil.  Sliced, fresh oranges for dessert.

While we were eating the restaurant got in their shipment of fresh, live lobsters for the weekend crowd. They have numerous tanks for them.  

I still am not drinking but did have about a half ounce of each wine. The Sau Blanc was exceptional.

Margies Monthly Dinner at Kings Fish House

 September 7, 2022

My first dinner out since my auto accident in June. Still in wheelchair but friend picked me up and took me. It was very beneficial to get out and socialize again.  18 people attended dinner tonight. We had a private room at the restaurant which made the accommodations nice. 

My appetite is still not up to par and since I contacted Covid in the nursing home by taste has dissipated. I had a grilled artichoke and a bowl of clam chowder for dinner. 

Lots of wine on the table. I did not taste any. Still waiting to get my balance issues taken care of before I start tasting again.
