Shrimp Taco Tuesday Night

I made shrimp tacos tonight paired with Laura’s Mexican street corn.

The tacos were made with pre-cooked shrimp marinated in Dan-o’s Tac-o seasoning, olive oil, and lime juice. I lightly roasted the shrimp in the oven and put them in warmed street taco shells with cojita cheese and lettuce with a squirt of more lime.

Laura said they were good, and for that I am glad.

It’s National Donut/Doughnut Day

From Wikipedia: National Donut Day or National Doughnut Day, celebrated in the United States and in some other countries, is on the first Friday of June of each year, succeeding the donut event created by The Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938 to honor those of their members who served donuts to soldiers during World War I.

No matter what flavor donut you have, may it be a sweet celebration of fried dough. Also, a coffee of your choosing makes it even better.

Daily Prompt – Favorite Restaurant

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite restaurant?

This question is tough because I cannot pin one restaurant down. I am a big mom-and-pop restaurant type of guy. Diners are my favorite places to eat because most of them serve breakfast all day long. However, I do like ethnic places like Chinese, Thai, Indian and Japanese. Lately I have been finding out more about Korean. I like food that is seasoned but not spicy so that is a consideration. There are several places I enjoy around my city that serve good food at good prices.

Something About Fast Food

Fast food is a convenience, but it is a hassle too when your order is given to you incomplete when going through the drive thru. It happens so much lately.

There is sometimes difficulty being understood when placing your order especially when you have questions, and you are in a rush. Then you get to the window to pay and get your order, they hand it to you, and you check your bag and there are no condiments that you asked for and no flatware that should be there. Sometimes food is missing and that is a whole other level of inconvenience.

I hate to complain, but that is the only way you can be heard when your order is incomplete. Also, fast food is getting more expensive too.

I do feel for those who work in those restaurants because I worked for McDonald’s when in college. I just wish service was better, that isn’t too much to ask.

Lunch at Mimi’s

I love a good Reuben sandwich. This one from Mimi’s Deli in the Hixson community of Chattanooga is quite tasty. Paired with fresh cut french fries makes for a great lunch to power the day’s activities.

Dinner Tonight – Massaman Curry

The Soup Diva is working her magic in our kitchen tonight, preparing something warm and comforting on a cold night. It’s a great Thai dish.
