'Now I can look at you in peace; I don’t eat you anymore.' —Franz Kafka, while admiring fish in an aquarium

Yum.

Ok, not as much ranting today...especially since the nausea is better. I had a good day food-wise as my BFF, Michelle, treated me to lunch at Mother's, an amazing restaurant here in Austin. I cannot tell you how much I love this place.

We started off simply enough with chips and salsa and as usual their salsa rocked. I then had a salad with my favorite dressing ever-their cashew tamari...yummy yum yum. Since my stomach had been feling a bit off kilter the past few days I decided to go with a pasta as my entree and had the capellini al greco with tofu (I really hope I got the spelling right...didn't pay that much attention when I was ordering. Oops). This pasta is great. If I remember correctly it had angel hair pasta, evoo, tomatoes, kalamata olives, capers, and I added e crumbled spicy tofu. Perfect mixtures of flavors!

If the meal wasn't already great enough at this point, we bumped it up a notch by splitting a slice of their chocolate peanut butter pie. Holy. Cow. That, paired with their coffee, well, words cannot describe.

So, many thanks go out to Michelle...that was an amazing meal! Oh, I'm pretty sure she liked hers...she had a portabello sandwich and the mushroom was the size of her head. Had to be the biggest I've ever seen. Umm, the mushroom that is :-)

Happy MoFo!
