My fabulous seafood lunch

I recently had this fabulous seafood lunch in a Chinese Restaurant and took some photos for you. Dungeness crab is real treat for me because I don't have it very often. (Largely because you have to cook them live, like lobsters and I am squeamish.) Eating them is a messy job, but I just ask for tongs, extra napkins and it may be part of the fun. Another unlikely dish is eel, but it's really just an elongated fish. It's also used in sushi.

So, are you a crab lover?

Crab Congee (a savoury rice porridge) and Deep Fried Eel (delicious!)

Apricots, Crab, Lobster and Civic Duty

I was at the hairdresser the other day and he offered me one of his apricots. It was so delicious I decided to get some more! I usually get peaches. Apricots are a bit smaller in appearance. I remember them being very popular in Europe when I was there several years ago.




My day started off on the right foot yesterday when the receptionist at the gym greeted me: 'I LOVE your top'....well, all I could say was 'Thank You' with a big smile! It was actually a tank top given to me as a birthday present recently.

M has a few days of vacation so we met a friend for what turned out to be a lobster and crab lunch at a Chinese seafood restaurant. The food was delicious and the price was very reasonable. K also came along. We don't often have lobster and crab so I felt as if I was celebrating something. It's never a problem thinking of something to celebrate! In any case, I gave thanks for the delectable meal.

L told me they gave out free apples at her train station, an Ipad promotion.

Another good thing that happened recently was that I complained about a traffic light needing to be fixed. The town immediately opened a work order and the light was fixed within a few days! It had been broken for weeks, maybe a month.

Don't you just love good days? (-:
