Eating Out Our Way

Color-enhanced glimpse at "the spread"

 The idea: I got home from work, and really wanted teriyaki. Which is really strange, since the only teriyaki I ever eat is ours - homemade, with wholesome ingredients - no MSG!

I also make yakisoba and tempura and a bunch of other stuff my grandma showed me how to make (in case you didn't know, my dad's family is Japanese!)

After I'd been home and Robert and I had our time to catch up with each other, he asked me again if I still wanted Teriyaki. I changed my mind.
"No," I said, "I'd rather make that meal I fell asleep watching Giada make last week on TV!"

"Okay, how hungry are you? We have to go to the store if we're going to do fish-ka-bobs..." Robert replied.

Sigh. Well, that wasn't going to work!

So, he suggested some things, and nothing sounded too appealing, until I said I thought a veggie burger with chipolte  mayo sounded incredible!

The "spread" lol

Mine!

My hubby went straight to work!

Look at the amazing dinner we had! (Sadly, we did not eat outside - the Mariners were on tonight, and it was still a little too chilly to forge the outdoors.

Mine: grilled veggie patty with fresh lettuce, medium cheddar/ pepper jack cheese blend, chipotle mayo, BBQ sauce, and grilled onions - all between two cheddar-jalapeno buns, and a side of grilled zucchini! TOTAL YUM!

His!

His: double patty with bacon, medium cheddar and feta cheeses, BBQ sauce and finished with a knife through two hamburger buns.







Thanks, sweetheart, for a delicious home-cooked dinner "out"!
