My mom stopped by this afternoon after doing some work in the area. I invited her to stay for lunch. I made her a Portabella Veggie Burger over bread with gravy poured over (way yummy, my own spur of the moment concoction) and poutin (thanks to this entry by northerngeek the other day). Let me just say it was sooo yummy. The poutin was better than I even imagined it! I am definitely buying more of these Portabella Burgers next time I see them. Luckily, I still have two more in the box for now. That should last me through dinner!

that I shared my half-eaten lunch from my favorite restaurant with you! Victoria's dad and stepmom were supposed to be picking her up around 1pm to take her down to North Carolina. (They are moving this weekend.) So anyway, I decided to just let her stay home from school and take her to lunch.

Northern Geek gets a gold star for guessing what I was eating. Yes, that was bulgogi in the bottom left corner. There was also a ginger salad, shrimp and vegetable tempura, kim chee (sp?), california roll, and a measly orange slice. MW, there wasn't much meat because I had already devoured most of it. Bulgogi is so yummy and I was very hungry. Didn't think about taking a picture til I had already dug in. Not sure if that would be considered a Bento box. Anyone else know?

As for using the chopsticks, Jamie, I'm not one bit fancy. I'm weird. I'm the kind of gal that doesn't like to make requests, so if there are only chopsticks on the table, I only use chopsticks. I wouldn't dare make trouble for the waitress by asking her for a fork. What if I was the first person that had ever asked for one?!?! Oh the horror! Oh the embarrassment! I also hate calling in pizza or any other carry out. I would also rather just eat a messed up order than let the waitress know she got it wrong. So, um, because of this, I have actually become quite good at using chopsticks. It helps that Steve knew how to use them from years of living in Japan. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd still be flinging food when I tried to use them.

So yup, that was my lunch at the Korean/Japanese restaurant. It's not only good, it's family owned, comfy and cheap too! By the way, Melissa, they do not serve hamburgers there, but they do have a very impressive sushi menu. I highly recommend the squid. Heh. I'll have to take you there if you ever get down to my neck of the woods!
