My mom and I had a doctor appointment a couple of days ago, we needed to get our prescriptions refilled. So the doctor asks me to jump on the scale to weigh myself and told me I didn't have to take my boots off. I automatically said 'I definitely have to take my boots off!' He laughed. Mom is pretty delusional these days, she is suffering from memory loss/dementia? She couldn't remember the doctor's office, we have been going there close to 30 years. She is also making up stories about people we know, sometimes not very flattering stories. If you tell her it is not true it makes her more insistent, so there is no point in arguing. She is otherwise healthy at the moment.
Mom's birthday is coming up so I took her for a seafood lunch afterward. We love lobster and crab. I took some quick photos below. We ordered crab with ginger and green onions, steamed garlic lobster, lobster with ginger and green onions and e-fu noodles. Look at this unbelievable lobster lunch deal. I hope this place is not going out of business. Our bill was $20, well $23.70 with tax then I rounded it up to $27 including tip. They give you a half lobster or a half crab with these dishes. The restaurant was not very crowded at lunch that day. Mind you, it was -16C although it was sunny.

Great prices for your food. Sorry to hear about your Mum. Valerie
I would have removed my shoes before weighing myself, too. Lol. Your poor mother! But, what a feast you both had!
my paternal grandma lost her memory in her last days. She only knew one of her daughters by the end of it.
my mom has 4 daughters, will be interesting to see which one she remembers Adam! Or maybe it will be her only son, my younger brother.
great to hear from you Peggy!
Gigi we enjoyed our feast!
Valerie the prices made it all the more enjoyable!
What an amazing meal deal. Mmmm mmmmm....I also love crab and lobster!
I remove whatever can be removed before I get on a scale. Every ounce counts!
Sorry to hear that about your mom. It is so hard to see our parents getting older.
The lobster lunch looks really delicious! I hope your mom enjoyed it as well. I feel so sorry to hear about your mom and it's good to hear that she's otherwise healthy at the moment. You made me smile with your little note about the scale. Last time when I went to the doctor and had to jump on the scale I went back and put my mobile phone on the doctor's chair and jumped back on the scale again and the doctor laughed too and said: "Oh yes, this mobile phone is really a lot of additional weight."
Wow! Looks like an amazing deal.
I am sorry to hear about your mom, I hope that things improve.
funny Stefanie!
thanks Lisa
you know what I mean about the scale Martha, lol.
Looks yum. I like the way they plated it.
So sorry about your mother…hopefully you will be able to continue to care for her. That lunch was certainly a nice treat. And the price! My goodness, is that Canadian dollars, which are different than US? Nothing here is any where that cheap except, maybe McDonalds.
