Say What I Think

Last night Hubby and I ate at Surabhi Indian cuisine on 98th st near Lyndale in Bloomington MN. I have to say I was very disappointed in our waiter he really missed the mark. My husband and I visit regularly we enjoy the food and its normally always pleasant. We were seated at a table, and our waiter took or drink orders that went just fine. When it was time to order the food that’s when it all fall apart. My husband and I share a meal, because their small portion is still too much for the both of us to eat. We could do one small portion for both of us but I always order the dinner portion. It’s plenty big enough for my husband and I and well about the same as eating out at a other restaurant. The waiter rolled his eyes, at us when we ordered the dinner, and told him we would share that.. He ignored us the whole time almost and avoided us every chance he got. Now I do not mind having my pop go empty this is not a big deal to me because I drink fast, my hubby on the other hand drinks slowly. When he needed, his pop refilled and tried to get the guys attention he turned his back on us, or went and cleaned another table although he clearly saw my hubby needed a refill. Then when it was time to check out he ignored us again and the owner had to come and complete the bills. I was not happy with this attitude. His attitude towards hubby and I sucked. Maybe he needs to find a new
local jobs that would better suit him.
The food was served hot and good. It tasted wonderful. We order lamb, which is amazing how strong spices don’t ruin the taste of it. It was well prepared.

Last night my husband and I wanted to try a restaurant we haven’t ate at before. We remember there was a restaurant in a nearby city, which a waitress recommended. We food it, and the food was so yummy, you don’t want to take any home, the place we went was Red Moon Chinese Buffet in Eden Prairie MN. The food tasted fresh and smelled good too.
Well we didn’t find it where we thought it was, so we called them for some direction. The guy didn’t sound too sure from where we were at but he got it right. He was very friendly and helpful. We got there and were seated.
I did my normal thing of let them know about the allergies before ordering. When I had told them I had pork allergies they had told me, I could have anything on their menu except for a couple of things or anything with pork included. I found out most of their dishes us chicken for lard. Eggrolls were the other thing I had to stay away from which was fine by me.
I had ordered the mild garlic chicken. Hubby had ordered the medium garlic chicken. The food took a little while to get out, but we was hungry so it probably felt longer then it really was to get out to us. When it did arrive, it was hot, not just hot but steaming hot, and oh my goodness it smelt yummy. You could smell the garlic and other fresh ingredients. The chicken I had was well prepared, and honestly even if I was looking for something to complain about I wasn’t going to find it with the food. The chickens was pleasantly tender. Hubby beef was done pleasantly too.
We started eating and the food was hot not spicy hot but hot. The mild hot garlic was just right for me. I am not a big fan of spicy you could taste the fresh garlic, and onions. It was good and this is my lunch today I can’t wait!
My hubby couldn’t stop talking about the food. We will probably be regular customers there. There food was good. It was hard to control our portion, both hubby and I are on diets.
The lighting in the place was good, it wasn’t Savoy house lighting but it worked. The restaurant looked clean, and the décor was not in a bad state. I liked the picture my hubby and I was seating under it was pretty. The service here was good and I would recommend them to anyone. The cost is fair for what they serve.

The other day we decided to use a coupon my hubby got from Papa John’s pizza here in Bloomington. I ordered extra butter and dipping sauce they got the extra dipping sauce but not the butter. They actually gave me more dipping sauce then I wanted. I am not upset it happens sometimes, all I care about is did my pizza get her nice and hot. The pizza arrived hot and early, I was surprised when my phone rang. I had my blinds closed I wonder what wood blinds would look like, because I had my blinds closed I didn’t see him coming.
We ordered the thin crust pizza, and it was nice and crispy. It was hot and it tasted good, but not enough crust to dip in my garlic butter. It was good and I am glad we ordered out that night.

This morning I decided I would stop at Lund’s I told my coworkers I would bring donuts for everyone. Normally I simply stop at the gas station but I didn’t want to deal with the gas station early in the morning, so I figured Lund’s is in my back yard pretty much so might as well stop there. I like their pastries normally and figured I would be happy with their donuts. Forget
fast weight loss at the rate I am going lately with all these parties.
I stopped in and it was a different person then I normally get in the afternoon. She had asked me how many donuts I needed when I told her I was getting them for work. I told her about a dozen would be more than enough. They were very good donuts and everyone seemed happy with them.

Recently I decided to try Fiber One plus. I have the chocolate almonds and chocolate bars. They are good, and have at least 9 grams of fiber. To fill full you have to have fiber, well let me tell you what I have increased my fiber intake too quickly and my stomach been not to happy with me. When I work with the kids I need at least 2 bars to keep my fuel going, or by the time I am off work I am very tired and feeling sick throw my stomach. I have always done this when I need to eat, not sure why but I have always been that way. I did not read the entire box, which had I; I would have avoided gestural pain. I didn’t just double my fiber intake a day I did like 10 times more fiber. Not fun. So I have decided to do one fiber one bar and another good bar that will not have as much fiber this way I can gradually increase it the way the box suggested.
Nothing worst when you in the car and think too bad I don’t have roadside assistance club maybe they can point me to the nearest bathroom.
The fiber one plus bar are the best diet bars I have ever had I like them. I didn’t think I would many diet things I can not eat because of fake sugar or simply do not want to eat them because it tastes like cardboard. No one wants to eat cardboard, this taste like what they claim to be.

We ate at Douglas Lodge; I have to say that the building is impressive while the food wasn’t all that impressive to me. Now don’t get me wrong the food was good, we liked our meal their our waitress did a great job at taking care of us. We had a good experience there and the food tasted good. I guess the building made me expect something different then their menu had on it. Maybe some old style cooking, something you wouldn’t find in a everyday modern restaurant. The lodge was beautiful to look at, and it had a nice view outside where we sat. I ordered a Bison burger, which I was pleasantly surprised they had, I don’t get to eat that too often. I ordered my meat to be between medium to medium well.
Hubby had a French deep Sandwich, which looked like it was good. Hubby said the meat was tender and it was good. Dad had a burger with bacon and where did the cheese go. I have never seen a bacon burger without cheese. I do not eat bacon but I let dad eat what he wants, however I do let the waitstaff now about my allergy so they know not to handle dad food and then put mine right next to it. With all the food I been eating I need to think about looking into getting safe weight loss pills
The food here was good and recommended by a park employee, I am glad she recommended this little place. It was a pleasant place. The only thing I did not care for was the size of glasses they gave for water and pop. The drinking glasses were very small and good thing they gave us a server type jar to serve water.
The service there was good and it was a clean little place. I love the building it looked old, in a good way.

This post was wrote on vacation, and posted later. We stopped at Big Dipper for a lunch. I will say at first I was worried about what the quality of food would be and if it would be safe to eat there for me. I have food allergies so sometimes trying new things can be trying. We went in and we saw it was an ice cream shop that also served food. The reason why I was worried about the food is most places that specialize in ice cream aren’t going to make very good food. I do not like many places similar to this one. I will say it was a nice surprised. I was glad we found the place. I ordered a BBQ chicken sandwich, and fries. Hubby and Dad both ordered a roast beef sandwich; both hubby and I asked for our fries to be well done, and for dad fries tender. I let our waitress now right away, I was allergic to pork and asked if I would be safe eating there. She said I would be fine and she let the cook now.
She brought our lunches out to us, and my chicken sandwich looked very nice, and tasted just as good as it look. I was surprised how good it looked and tasted. I was not expecting this. Hubby like his roast beef said he liked how they gave him a chunk of meat and not thinly sliced it because this way he could tell he was getting a good cut of meat. The roast beef looked good and it appeared to be juicy. I am not sure if it was but hubby and dad both liked their sandwiches.
The food was served hot, and seemed fresh I am not sure, but the chicken didn’t taste frozen to me but I make frozen chicken all the time and not sure I can tell the different. The French fries were done well, Hubby and I would have preferred a little more cooked but they were close enough to being well done. All the food was served hot. The server did a good job taking care of our table. The restaurant was clean. I would recommend this little place to anyone traveling through Hackensack MN. At dinner I should have talked to my hubby about what he thought buy phentermine since he thinks he knows a lot of information that is useless.

Well I never talk about fat burners but maybe I aught to . I have found a new drink I like. Normally I am not a fan of orange flavored drinks, but I have always liked most of SunKist drinks. When we where in Illinois visiting granny we found this before it came up here to MN. It tastes best if it is cold, warm it is not very pleasant. I do not like some pop warm where others i do not mind.
It has a orange flavor and it is refreshing.

Last night for date night my husband and I found another place to have dinner. I am glad we did find another place to have dinner, then where we normally go. Hubby and I went to Rogers because dad went with a family friend, although last night is the last time he going with them. I have had it with the anger when hubby and I go out no matter what we do. We first went to Cabelles, I am telling you if you need a fishing pool go there they have some good sales. I only spent 60 bucks on fishing pools because we found some great sales. But back to dinner.
We decided to drive a round for a little while, and see what we could find. We saw a Linda’s and Angenos in the same stripe mall for a lack of better word, We didn’t like Linda’s menu, there was to many things hubby and I would have reacted negatively to and plus they where closing soon. So we decided to try Angenos. They are a Italian place, pizza and pasta pretty much and they had a few other choices. They had a lot of choices and where willing to substitute for me, which made me happy. Our waitress understood food allergies so when I explained to her I was allergic to pork she got it. When hubby told her, he couldn’t eat mushrooms she understood it. My husband and I always tease our wait staff that we are going to be the pain in their necks or the most difficult customer of the evening. She told us that we was easy compared to one of her nephews, who was allergic to everything. It seems when we get waiters or waitress have experience with allergies they get it a lot easier and they think about things which most people would not have thought about if they haven’t experienced allergies. She was very nice took our orders, and got them right.
I had a salad and I have to say I was impressed most places I have to pick out some of the lettuce because it does not look very good. Here I did not need to pick at it, and their croutons which normally I do not eat I couldn’t help but eat it. They where to good to pass up tasted very fresh, so I liked them. I order a four cheese something can’t remember the name, with garlic bread and hubby order spaghetti, with cheese garlic bread. I ate half of my meal, but I do not eat very much it wasn’t like the portions where very large, I would say had I not ate the salad my main meal would have been about right for a single serving. It was served nice and hot and tasted good. I had to wait a few minutes before eating because it was so hot but I rather that then not hot enough to last for the last bite u want to eat. It was very good. The restaurant looked clean and well kept. Most of our staff where young but they did a great job. I am not sure maybe late high school age to early college age young and they did a great job . The only place I did not go into was the bathroom, so I can’t tell you if they had Saniflo toilet. Overall we where very happy with the place, and we plan on going back again for dinner sometime when we are in the area.

This weekend we got a new waffle maker, I was not happy with the one I bought for dad and I a few months ago. I decided it was time to go to Target and look at what they had since I saw a few things I liked. Target doesn’t have chandeliers but they have some good deals on small appliances. I have to say I like this one a lot more, and it did a better job at making waffles and they are the size they aught to be. My other waffle maker I gave dad 3 of those this one I give him one and that’s more then enough. Even I was filled full and my waffles where fluffy and light the way they aught to be. Now I know some of that has to do with the mix and not the maker.
The book that tells you about the safety, in that little book it gave you recipes for waffles mixes a couple different ones, which I might decide to try. I like trying new things, so this might be good. I have a nice pancake recipe that I use but not to often.
The waffle maker is easy to flip over and it handle does not get hot, it is easy to open it. It came with a plate for the bottom of the waffle maker to catch spills which is nice, but I didn’t have any spills on this one, so I was fairly happy.
Dad liked the waffles from this one better so did I they are about the same size you get at a restaurant. I keep trying to call it a oscar waffle maker for some reason.
