Friday January 30, 2009. This is sort of a Meta Photo of the Day. That’s my Picasa page with my POTD Gallery on it. It was getting late and I didn’t feel like leaving my desk to take a photo.

Greg and I were going to go out to lunch today and I was tired of the same old places we do (which are good, but you know…variety and all that). So I created a Google map that showed all the restaurants near my work. I am lucky that there are several! I started looking at online menus and I was swayed by the fact that The Modern Cafe had a lamb burger and that it was really cute.

Once I got there and looked at the menu again, I decided I couldn’t resist the pot roast. Come on, it had mashed potatoes.

Greg got the lamb burger:

He could not stop talking about it. He mmmm’d and uuuuugh’d constantly. It was almost obscene. I had a taste of the tomato chutney (which was ultimately the reason I chose against it–stupid me) and it was luscious.

Good service, cute place, awesome food. We’ll be back. Oh and anyplace that has LUNCH happy hour is OK by me. Not that I could have any since I had to go back to work, but I’m with them on the sentiment.

Sunday January 25, 2009. Ok let’s be honest, I forgot to take a photo this day, so this is from Saturday night when Charlie was helping Greg make dinner. I really thought I took a bunch of photos on Sunday, but apparently I did not. I could have cheated even worse and re-used a Hot Plate Diner photo since we went back there, but alas…

One of my new (old) friends on Facebook suggested this place to me. The first time Greg and I went (on Friday) we showed up two minutes after they closed. I’d heard they were newly open for dinner, so I thought they’d be open all day. Nope, they close at 2 and reopen later.

Anyway, I was anxious to try it so we went back on Sunday. I’m so glad we did. The pix don’t really do it justice. I was trying to be unobtrusive by using my cell phone camera with no flash.

The Breakfast Burrito at Hot Plate Diner with fried potatoes. Those potatoes? Heavenly. I want to point out that I did NOT eat that whole thing. I ate about half of each the burrito and I shared the potatoes with Greg and we still brought half of them home.

Friday January 23, 2009. I took the day off and spent the first few hours of it like this. Surrounded by my anipals. Not a great photo, but I didn’t want to move and get the camera so had to use the phone
