Today I'm thankful for ...
... lactose intolerance mostly licked. I had a pretty good ice cream sandwich from Bi-Rite Creamery and had no problems whatsoever. Yay! This has been a long road back to normalcy. I think that after having spent most of the year eating/drinking less dairy that my body was rapidly losing its ability to process dairy products. But in the past few weeks I've been on a campaign to restore that. First it was yogurt, then lattes, then lots of cheese. More recently I've gone out of my way to get milk-based drinks like malts and shakes. it seems to be working.

Go go spaghetti power
Today I'm thankful for ...
... only being partially hungry for dinner tonight. It turns out that I had plenty of leftovers. Since I was up late I ended up finishing all of them. It kept me going until about 3am, when my body finally quit out on me.

Foodies
Today I'm thankful for ...
... friends that like to try new places. A friend from out-of-town decided we should try out Farina. He's a major foodie---and that's an understatement---and I think tonight's meal met his expectations. He even spoke with the chef for a while. Me, I just go along for the ride.

Hard stop
Today I'm thankful for ...
... getting on the early train. I got to dinner early, though E beat me to the restaurant. We had a really laid-back dinner early because I needed to be sure I stopped eating by 9 PM so I could fast for tomorrow's doc's appointment. The Mediterranean food was delish!

Mmm mmm ... ick
Today I'm thankful for ...
... not gagging at the amount of batter I ate. There was a special fish and chips place we went to tonight that serves them battered with cornmeal. It was crispy tasty but let me tell you that it was FILLING and GREASY. OMG, so much fat and grease! I'm glad I don't eat this stuff every day.

Rabbit food
Today I'm thankful for ...
... places like Herbivore that serve vegan food that tastes awesome. I don't know why people have to make fake meat products when you can have really tasty dishes made from veggies. Seriously, I had one of the most awesome strawberry shakes---and there was no milk in it!

What's that smell?
Today I'm thankful for ...
... Yelp.com. Yelp is awesome. They helped me find a very out-of-the-way Mediterranean restaurant in San Mateo, Lahmacun Pizzeria. The food was definitely good. If only their location was better they'd do really well.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ... cookies?!
Today I'm thankful for ...
... Girl Scout cookies. OK, maybe I shouldn't be thankful for them because each Lemonade has 75 calories!!! But once a year I love it when I get a little chance to eat sweet stuff. This year's order: Lemonades, Cinnaswirls, and Thin Mints.
Oh, and thanks to the kind friend who ordered them for me and who did NOT eat them herself. :)

There's many fish in the sea
Today I'm thankful for ...
... sushi. I went with a friend to a local sushi place and had some of the tastiest sushi I can recall in a long time. We did this sashimi special with fish served over crushed ice. I think it was toro and maguro that tasted the best. I don't use soy sauce and wasabi unless I think the fish needs it. I believe good sushi should have its own taste and anything else just takes away from it---if you want to alter the flavor you might as well buy some fish sticks and smother them with the barbecue sauce of your choosing. That said, I really don't get the ama-ebi head thing. Ew.

Who says veggies aren't tasty?
Today I'm thankful for ...
... vegetarian Indian food. For those people that eat Indian food a lot it's probably pretty obvious that there are plenty of all-veggie dishes that are super tasty. You have to admit that the Indian and South Asian regions are masters at spices. Without the need for meat you can have a very filling and flavorful meal.

Happy birthday to youuuuuuuu....
Today I'm thankful for ...
... birthdays. Celebrating them is such an awesome thing, even it's a small group. D and I missed out on a friend's birthday so we took him out for a little dinner at this place with a little N'awlins style. He had redfish tacos and enjoyed them as well as D's stories.

I do -not- want fries with that
Today I'm thankful for ...
... non-chain restaurants. About a block away from where I work is an excellent little establishment with tasty cocktails and a daily changing menu. They use only the best ingredients and it shows. Their hamburgers are among the absolute best in the city if not the world (I would posit), and they cook even simple fish and chicken to perfection. My friend had the chicken over beets and I was jealous!
