27 January 2010, Lunch..

Wednesday was my hump day off.. woke up with a headache and decided to call off.  I don't know why I woke up with a headache but I'm sure as hell it wasn't the Call of Duty from the night before =)

It's been a while that I've gone out with my gf during her lunch break, and so today was the perfect time! called her up and we were set for a 1:30pm lunch.

So before then.. I decided to kill some time and get my "beginners" photography skills on and here is one picture:

  THE WEDGE in NEWPORT

A fading Swell from the past weeks storms was still pushing out about 3-4ft sets at the Wedge.  This shot was taken across Balboa bay set at 180mm zoom.  A little bit grainy because a distance shot is tough to take w/o a tripod. If you look close, the waves got a nice left shoulder to it!

It was finally 1:30pm and I was off to pick up my gf.  Lunch was going to be at Greek Islands.. I decided to pick this place because it was only 2 minutes away from her office, and also I was in the mood for Greek food =)

Here's our lunch:

 

Chicken souvlaki -

two skewers of marinated chicken breast, char-grilled and served w/ rice, hummus an taboule

This was my gf dish and it wasn't that bad.  I had a piece of the chicken and it was juicy!

Here's another angle of her dish..

Lamb souvlaki -

two skewers of seasoned lamb, char-grilled and served w/ brown rice, babaganouj and taboule

Here is my dish!! I love lamb chops!! I'm trying my best to stay away from red meat nowadays but when it comes to seeing lamb chops on the menu, I'm on it!!  I decided to go the brown rice way because hey.. it's a little healthier right? Brown rice has actually grown on me and I think I'll ask for it more often. I love the hummus combination w/ each bite of lamb chops and brown rice.. Yummy!!!  The lamb chops were very tender, but overall, I would pick a Lamb Chop dish from Open Sesame any day.

 

Here's another angle of my dish..

Pita Bread - 

the bread was aiiiiight.  They must have given us about 4 pieces and I only ate half of one.  Normally the Pita bread would be killed! haha

Hope you guys are hungry now!
