Lunch at Mikuni Sushi

Marty and I had an errand to run week ago, so we timed it to end around lunchtime and ate at Taro's by Mikuni. Here's what his "plate" looked like. It took up the whole width of the table!

We often used to eat out on my day off, since it was a work day for everyone else and the kids were in school. It's been a while since we did that, and so these last few weeks have been a treat! My workweek now is Sunday - Thursday, so Friday, if we have something to do "out", we generally look for somewhere interesting to eat.

A few weeks ago, we ate at the Persian Garden, which was highly recommended by one of our librarians. She was known for her elegant presentations and gracious manner (she's now working for another library), and said the food was excellent and authentic. Marty and I stumbled on it by accident, and decided to give it a try. This is the kind of place we would take special guests to, or visit on a special occasion. The food was flavorful, plentiful, and reasonably priced.

This past Friday, we were planning to do Mexican, since we'd eaten at several Asian restaurants recently, so we were heading for Viento's, a couple of miles from where we live. Right next door, we saw a new restaurant, called Plan B Restaurant and Cafe, liked the menu, and stopped in. What a treat! It has a Scandinavian ambiance, French-style cooking, and reasonable prices. Marty had calamari, and I had a portobello burger with matchstick fries to die for!
