Wednesday's Dinner


This is what's left of dinner last night. After spending the afternoon getting our Kaiser Buddy Physicals, we went out to celebrate our good health. Okay, Poppy is healthier than I am but the doctor only said "this is your wake up call" once or twice to Fatass. But I will have you know that Fatass' good cholesteral is off the charts excellent, she doesn't have cirrosis of the liver...yet, and only needs to "think about losing a few pounds."

For dinner we went to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, Mai's on Clement. We had a type Shabu Shabu, but it had a different name that I can't spell or pronounce. Poppy asked Mai (I'm not sure that's her name) how to pronounce the meal we were having; she did; we didn't try to repeat because we'd butcher it. Anyway, it was raw beef with onions that you cook yourself in a vinegar broth. The beef gets wrapped in rice paper with lettuce, sprouts, shredded carrots, mint and cucumber. Then dipped in a sweet-n-spicy sauce. NOM-NOM-NOMMY!!!
