I had lunch at Spring Rolls today with my two aunts and my sister. One of my aunts wanted to take me out to celebrate my birthday =)
The food was okay. There was some sort of Dim Sum lunch menu going on. I ordered the California Lettuce Wrap and the Steamed Chicken & Shrimp Wrap in Cabbage Soup.
The California Lettuce Wrap ended up being a make-your-own iceberg lettuce wrap which involved placing greasy, fried, sauced-up chicken and wilted vegetables in a leaf of iceberg lettuce, wrapping it up and eating it. I was not impressed. I hope the next time I order a meal at a restaurant, I won't have to make my own food (Korean barbeque is an exception!).
The Steamed Chicken & Shrimp Wrap in Cabbage Soup was okay. There were three individual wraps in a small bowl of soup, which tasted like water with a bit of vegetable bouillon. Each wrap was a mixture of steamed chicken and shrimp tightly wrapped in a leaf of cabbage, and ribboned with a stringy green vegetable of some sort. Overall, I liked this course better than the California Lettuce Wrap.
I didn't take pictures, as I was rather unimpressed by the food and the service. Perhaps I will next time, as a visual aid is always nice--even when the food isn't that great!
I'm very frugal when it comes to shopping, but I couldn't help but spend 4 hours at the mall with my sister after lunch. She calls it "retail therapy".
I got home from the mall EXHAUSTED. My sister is a power shopper, she doesn't believe in rest intervals. I felt like my bladder was going to burst considering we didn't even get a washroom break!
I made one of my favourite meals: Zucchini Fettucine!
All you need are the following:
- zucchini
- tomato sauce
- a microwave or stovetop
- a peeler, knife or spiralizer
- protein of your choice (optional) I used chicken breast in this recipe
- extra cut up veggies of your choice (optional)
- Cook protein of your choice if you decide to have some with your fettuccine
- Peel, thinly slice or spiralize
- Mix in desired amount of tomato sauce with zucchini fettuccine
- Microwave or cook zucchini and tomato sauce until warm
- Add cooked protein of choice
- Serve and enjoy!
YUM!
I had one of these badboys for dessert
- 2 huge handfuls spinach
- 1/3 banana
- 1/2 cup chocolate Isoflex whey protein isolate
- 3 ice cubes
- just enough water to get 'er blendin'!
So good!
I just did a bodyrock workout and I am pooped! I recommend you guys try it out. It's called the Fast Burn Workout. It definitely kicked my butt!
Anyways, I have to shower and get to bed. I have to work tomorrow morning and get ready for a night of dinner and dancing! Bye
Retail therapy totally works!!! And I guess I AM a power shopper...rest is for the WEAK! So are bathroom breaks. lol.
