New Menu


Here's my lunch for the day, the first in the new menu scheme:

Stuffed Pasta Shells

Mild ricotta cheese, some might say subtle, others might describe as lacking any hint of cheesiness. Bit tepid on the plate, but the pasta okay. Overall a passing grade, but the Kraft Mac & Cheese I made kids for lunch a couple of days ago tasted better.

Spinach

Good to have it back. Goes well with the pasta shells, a bit of green to dress up the plate and health-up the meal. I'm not a huge spinach fan but this worked.

Lemon Bars

Different -- slightly crunchy bottom, crumbly top. Nice texture, an improvement.
The Same -- an almost fanatical lack of lemonocity. Sweet, but flavorless, as if the creator once had a dream about a lemon and that's as close as the fruit ever came to the bar.

As an aside for you menu fans, the alternative for me was Crabby Cakes, but I just spent a week at the beach and ate lots of seafood, so passed.

Whereas I had lunch at the Last Resort, which serves Cecilia's Spanish lemon cake with real lemon (as opposed to ReaLemon).

Just FYI, you should never eat anything that includes "Crabby" in the name.
