Everything from Seafood to Muffins

Today was an awesome day – mainly because I spent it with my mom eating lots of good food. We went downtown and ate at an Italian restaurant called Scarpina for lunch. I was feeling adventurous, so for the first time ever, I ordered mussels to start. They came in a tomato-based sauce with lots of garlic and basil – a very tasty appetizer. For my main course, I ate chicken marsala which came with lots of mushrooms, some broccoli, and mashed potatoes. Overall, my lunch was delicious.

Later in the afternoon, after lots of walking, my mom and I had dessert at the City Bakery. My mom ordered a coffee, and we shared a chocolate chip cookie and a muffin which had cinnamon, apple, raisins, and walnuts. I could taste the welcoming brown sugar in the cookie and the top of the muffin was crunchy and just awesome.

It’s a good thing that I did 10 miles of exercise today.

A pile of these delicious muffins – I want to eat all of them!

Chocolate chip cookies and virgin sangria (I will have to try this next time).

Pizza and croissants yum!
