Today I got a nice break from my long workday to meet up with an old friend for lunch, Amanda. Amanda and I were friends when I was way into Rainbow Brite, The Little Mermaid and a crazy crazy Girl Scout (we did it together for 7 years). I still never sold enough cookies for that awesome stuffed owl, but it was totally worth it.
Amanda and I went to the Metropolitan on W.6th street. It’s a hop and a skip away from my office, so I’ve been several times and always left pleased. I usually get an incredibly rich meal like the Lobster Pizza (fabulous) or the amazing Bacon Mac n Cheese.
Today, was a different story.
I have exactly one year and a day until I tie the knot with fellow foodie, Steve and if I want to fit into my gorgeous dress…I need to be a good healthy foodie. It doesn’t mean I have to eat boring rabbit food, but alas Mac n Cheese I shall miss you …until I have a Christmastime relapse…we all know that’s coming.
I ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon with fresh summer vegetables. It was absolutely amazing. The salmon was my favorite blend of sweet and fresh and seasoned lovelly with herbs and a citrus glaze.
Amanda ordered the Salmon Cesar Salad and swapped the Cesar dressing for a nice herb vinaigrette. She appeared to enjoy it very much…but honesty we were gabbing away so I never got a chance to ask. Time flies with good conversation.
