A very bad two days, diet-wise. After several binges yesterday (including a Chinese buffet, a convenience store run, and a drive-by McDonaldsing), I hit The Cheesecake Factory today with my brothers David and Sean. For those who don't know: TCF is a slightly higher-end family restaurant chain (we paid around $30/person for meals today) that is famous for-- you guessed it-- its cheesecakes. But as was true of my previous TCF outings, I came away most impressed by the appetizers. We had two: fried calamari and chicken-avocado eggrolls with some marvelous, cilantro-y dipping sauce. TCF knows its appetizers. I was less impressed with my main course, an obscenely huge burrito, but was mollified by the lemon/raspberry cheesecake I ordered for dessert.
And now... Sean is off tutoring cello, and David and I will probably be watching "Thank You For Smoking." Sometime later this evening, I'll likely have a walk.

A walk later this evening? I got caught in the rain about 45 minutes ago jogging and decided I didn’t want to be a human lightening rod.
ReplyDeleteYeah; I ended up nixing the walk.

CHeesecake Factory... hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI went there for my birthday a few years ago... the Seattle one. We ended up waiting 2+ hours for a table but finally got in. Good stuff...
And the Peanut butter/chocolate cheesecake is heaven...
