An Absolute Fine Eat

I have to eat, right? Yesterday, I chose to eat at a wonderful Japanese restaurant over eating at a pizzeria or one of the most popular fast food chains. We know the ones in which I speak. I just simply was not into a fast chow-down last night. I wanted an establishment that was going to wow the socks off my eyes; some dim lighting with the appearance or the illusion of a fine dining atmosphere. Okay (smile), it was a Japanese/Chinese establishment and it was not illusion; I was seated at a C- shaped dining table with a glossy red wood grain. The table was adorned with  nice champagne glasses and silver place mats, really simple but elegant. This restaurant was called Jacky's Galaxy and Sushi Bar. In an earlier time, I would never have considered a ChinJap restaurant a luxurious venture. However, with it's newly designed location in North Providence, RI, it gives a foodie like me a run for my my money. Times are changing.

While munching on my dinner, I couldn't help but to glimpse around in awe. There was so much to see from ceiling to floor. There were fancy chandeliers, crystals hanging from the ceiling, champagne encasement in the middle of the floor to be appreciated as art, beautiful light fixtures glowing like round sun balls giving off a bright illumination, and pink napkins folded in the form of pyramids above the silver place mats. The list goes on and on.

The restrooms were quite different from the norm. I was surprised to find a flat screen TV in the ladies room that inspired me while I washed my hands. It displayed soothing music and offered advice and ways for me to find happiness and achieve self enlightenment. At least, I thought it was a personal experience. Since I was in there alone, I understood it to be only for me. I told myself....'No! Cat...it's for everyone'. Everyone needs some enlightenment, right?

Besides the soothing blue light, all that was missing in the restroom was a couch for me to finish watching that really interesting episode on Balance for the Body that was playing. Okay, this was a restroom and I didn't want to leave. Hmmm, what's with that?

 OKAY BACK TO THE TABLE
So, what did I eat? Well....I ordered a few selections. I couldn't quite make up my mind. So, my order looked like this:

Pot of Tea
Sweet Potato Tempura
California Rolls (cooked sushi)
Chicken and Broccoli, with tenders and crab rangoons
Spare rib plate, with white rice, rangoons and spring roll

 The experience was sophisticated. The food was served on pure white dishes.

Confession:

 I did not use the chopsticks!!! Lol

Hallo-Fam Time

By Catherine Ratliff Oct. 2017      Spent time with the family indoors this past Halloween 2017. It made for a really different experience. Words couldn't express the evening. Therefore, I will let the slideshow do the talking for us.      We put together some really nice snacks that turned our taste buds into a frenzy. We baked yellow cake with chocolate frosting. We added the word Halloween logo 🎃, on top in an orange delicious and harmonious glaze. I literally heard music to my ears. This earth-shattering cake was served with chocolate and vanilla ice cream.      We also made rice krispie treats. We added blow pops to sweeten up the dish. We were some real SWEET DEMONS that night.     Then I sat on the couch wearing a witch's hat and striped orange and black socks that extended up to the knees. We really created a witchy atmosphere.     It became a movie night. The movie selection was from my f...

My Cracker Jack

Hey, remember this wonderful snack? Cracker Jack . Wow. I remember when I was a kid. This snack came in a small rectangular shaped box. There was always a prize inside. Well, this bag says that you have a chance to win a diamond. All you have to do is open the bag. Needless to say, I wasn't a winner because if I was a winner, I would have started this blog off with (Whoopie!!). Well, my bag only contained a little insert with information on Susan B. Anthony. Okay. Nice. She was the nice lady on the front of golden dollars issued by the mint a few years back. I guess it will come in handy when my son does his next research report. So, to recap, I had a nice snack and learned something new at the same time.

Christmas Escapades

After my job's Christmas party, I traveled to Connecticut because I just needed to spend a little more time. So, my time was spent at Foxwoods casino. No, I know what you're thinking. I gambled and lost my shirt. On the contrary, I only spent around $15 dollars because I was there for the ride. My friend had some gambling credit and it made for a good time. It was a good picture taking moment. Besides, the holiday is upon us. What kind if mom would I be if I gambled the kids toys away. Lol. I'll just post some random holiday photos here to keep in the spirit.
