I bought Dennis the morning star grillers (soy) but this box stated that they were "prime". Whatever that means.
And I bought ground round for me...
He wants it all made when I pick him up tonight, so I guess I better get in the kitchen and start grilling.

New Years dinner was amazing last night: meatloaf, potato salad, deviled eggs, broccoli casserole, collard greens, crackling cornbread. Dessert was a slice of pecan pie and a square of coffee cake. Ahhh, and all of it (except the dessert) made by my grandmother, a cook beyond compare. Her potato salad is really something--she learned to make it in the German style while my grandfather was stationed there during the 50s.
Today I'll be using some of the meatloaf in a sandwich, combining it with a slice of honey baked ham. Will probably eat some more of that casserole and potato salad, to boot.

There's one on Powell Street in San Fran.
It's excellent, especially if you've got a couple couples. A meal's roughly $50/person, but it's more food than you can eat, and it covers you from appetizer through dessert. They have an outstanding wine selection as well.
14 Guinness isn't that impressive. Guinness has a relatively low alcohol percentage(3.2%, I believe, compared to 5.5% for Bud), and since there's a sandwich in every pint, they don't go down too quickly.

The Melting Pot here in Gator Town is awesome. It's inside an old fieldstone church; the main serving floor is multi-levels.
Upstairs in what was the choir loft they have the wine gallery with a large window overlooking the main floor. Paul and I will occasionally make a reservation up there strictly for a bottle of wine and dessert fondue, instead of doing a whole meal.

When I was low carbing, I thought the omlettes at IHOP were great filling meals. Turns out, according to the menu at my IHOP, that they put pancak batter into the eggs in their omlettes, so now I know those are not an option on low carb.
However, when I'm not ow crbing, their new crab and provolone omlette is terrific. But I still prefer Cracker Barrel and The Original Pancake House over IHOP.

It's funny, I used to love IHOP, but I find I just don't like most restaurants anymore. If it's not fine dining, I'd rather cook myself.

Well, with enough hints, my guys actually did me proud.
Beorn agreed to stay home with a pizza and get himself ready for bed, and Paul took me out to a 'new to us' (fairly new to Gator Town as it opened in November) restaurant called Merlion that specializes in Singaporean cuisine. It's within walking distance of home, and as it's a beautiful night (clear skies and 64º) we walked there and back.
It's an elegant restaurant done in a light walnut wood paneling, tiered recessed lighting, and iron scones with tea light candles on the walls.
Paul got Grouper Filet in Nyonya Sauce. It was lightly battered and deep fried, then served with diced red pepper, green pepper, and carrot in a sweet (not sweet and sour) sauce. On the side was raw shredded red and white cabbage with lemon and lime twists and lightly fried white rice that was a little over powered with sesame oil. It was served with a Merlion salad, which consisted of iceberg lettuce with cucumber, strawberry, kiwi, olive and a light dressing consisting of cream, peanut, and mango.
I ordered the Deviled Tofu Curry, very spicy. It was wonderful. Lightly fried tofu triangles with snow peas, broccoli, cauliflower, button mushrooms, onion, carrots, and diced red and green pepper in a spicy curry sauce. But it was not like any curry sauce I've had before, neither Indian, Thai, or Jamaican. It was a red curry, but nearly brown, and had a strong under flavor of either cinamon or cardamon, I was unable to tell which. I also got the fried rice with it.
Since Paul got the salad, I decided to try one of the soups that is offered with the entrees. Their choices are 'communist' soup, which is a beef and potato curry soup, or Yanpi shrimp won-ton soup. Since my entree was curry, I got the won-ton. Also very nice, but too delicate a flavor for me.
We got to chatting with our server, and mentioned it was our first time there for my birthday celebration. They brought out a complimetary dessert, which was sort of a home made cannoli that appeared to be a deep fried spring roll sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, cut into four rounds, filled with a cannoli cream, and then topped with fresh made whipped cream and maraschino cherries. Mmm...
We ordered a pot of rose petal green tea to finish the meal and all in all had a wonderful time.
I don't know if any of y'all have a Singaporean cuisine restaurant in your area, but if so, I highly recommend you give them a try.

Last night:
Hard-fried chicken,
Soupy mashed potatos,
Watery baked beans,
and Weak-tasting tea
(All from Publix deli)
Tonight, going to take my wife out make up for last night.
Going to a seafood place to have a grouper sandwich,
all-you-can-eat Crab meat,
maybe some Sushi,
hush puppies,
and Beer to wash it all down with!
