We went out to lunch to a restaurant called Salsaritas and I neglected to take my camera with me. Bad blogger! But I ordered a water and something called a Taco Pizza which was a crispy tortilla, topped with guacamole, cheese, chopped tomato, cilantro and onion and a smidgen of seasoned ground beef. I'm guessing the whole thing was about 500 calories and I only ate half.
For dinner we went out again. Geez! What are we doing??? We went to a pizza place called Brixx but I couldn't face pizza again so I ordered a caesar salad with shrimp. My sister ordered an appetizer of bruschetta and that was delicious!
I was also naughty and had this:
Soda at a restaurant is just SO good! Hard to resist!
My brother-in-law ordered a BBQ pizza and I had a couple of bites of that. Here's a shot of the pizza:
My salad came to the table and I was really looking forward to it because I love Caesar salad and grilled shrimp. It's just a fabulous combination.
Unfortunately for me, this was just so-so. I was wishing I had eaten more than one piece of bruschetta!
Tomorrow will be a homemade food day as we're definitely not going to be eating out that much anymore. Today was restaurant day mainly because I spent a good part of the day cleaning up the playroom and the kitchen and was just too tired to imagine messing up more pots and pans. I find when I eat out a lot I get bored and want to eat at home so I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!

Hey.
One of my all time favorite recipes (shrimp caesar, even) is the following:
(From Martha Stewart Everyday mag)
Caesar Salad with Spicy SHrimp
4 corn tortillas
2 t canola oil
1 1/2 t chili powder
3/4 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cp mayo
2 T lime juice
2 T grated (fresh) parmesan, plus more for garnish
4 anchovie fillets
1 large head romaine lettuce
Preheat to 375.
Place tortillas on a baking sheet, bursh both sides with 1t oil, sprinkle with 1/2 t chili powder, season with salt and pepper (I use coarse). Bake until golden brown and crisp, turn once, 8-10 minutes. Let cool, break into pieces.
Heat broiler, toss shrimp in a large bowl with remaining teaspoon of oil and chili powder. Season with s&p. Lay shrimp flat on a broiler pan, cook turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes.
In a small bowl, shisk together mayo, lime juice, parm, anchovies, and up to 2 T water. Season with s&p.
To serve, toss lettuce with dressing. DIvide among plates, and top eachwith shrimp and broken tortillas. Garnish with more fresh parmesan.
IT doesn't get much better that this one
To see a picture, or to print it, just do a search for "caesar salad with spicy shrimp". It's there. (can't put in the link, it's too long.)
Mmmm! That looks delicious! I'm going to try that this weekend.
