Toasted cheese and jalapeno bagel w/herb and garlic cream cheese product (???). Side salad from Wendy's with their balsamic vinaigrette and some mochi from an asian supermarket.

Leaning towards ordering a pizza with extra cheese and extra toppings for Monday Night Football. Contemplating between Tony's, Amici's, Roundtable or Dominoes (have tons of unused gift cards).

chicken in lettuce cups
moo shoo veggie
peking duck
curry beef puffs
chicken chow mein
Mongolian beef
orange chicken with broccoli

Ended up with Amici's, ordered with extra cheese and toppings. I floated the idea of Dominoes (just wanna get use those GCs), and there was almost a family revolt. Regarding Pizza Hut, for some reason, they just never have enough cheese and too much bread, not my idea of what an Americanized pizza should be.

alas my child has a play date with a bestie or future SO - I try to not speculate too heavily because it could be awkward. i have been sent to my room while they eat and I’ll eat after they return to my child’s room. I’m soooo hungry and excited for this. I just had a slice of leftover Costco pizza for my luncheon. I am soooooo hungry.

Dim sum for dinner... Siu mai, small lo ba gao (small cubes with shrimp, and chye po, not the larger rectangular cakes)... Ma tai gao. Plain cheong fan with peanut and sweet dipping sauce, Liu sha bao, XLB.

To this day, still one of my favorite dishes, though I'm partial to the style where it's served in a small clay pot like bowl. Actually, it's probably the only time I find veggies appealing, aside from french fries, onion rings, and fried zucchini.

It's a game 5 tonight, so it'll be pizza with the customary extra cheese and toppings.
