Eat at Roy's!

Whenever my dad is In town for business I usually end up going to much fancier dining establishments then I'm used to frequenting. Luckily he is usually only here for 1-2 days otherwise I would balloon up 50 lbs every time he came to visit since we eat so much. And it's never like, "Hey On Monday night I got to join him at Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, which has two locations here in San Diego and more across the country. I've got to tell you it was one of the best meals I've ever had. For starters they have Adamame which I'm not a huge fan of but in this case it was really good. Then I had a Fried Chicken Katsu Salad with Asian Ranch dressing which was just short of divine. Then the main course was Blackened Shrimp with Creamy Polenta, Garlic Spinach, Lemon, in a Herb Caper Sauce. It was motherpunching amazing, the polenta itself was a work of art and I could eat that spinach all day every day, the shrimp was equally amazing. Lastly I had some of Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé which I shared with the entire table. I think all of us found a little bit of heaven in tasting that.

Simply put I am not sure I've had a better meal in San Diego at a restaurant then I did at Roy's. The food was just so good it made me want to join the priesthood...Jesuit even.

A movie I wanted to see!

So a rarity happened to me on my flight back from NYC last sunday. There was a movie shown that I actually wanted to see. "The Express" was abotu running back ernie davis who went to Syracuse and then died of Luekemia shortly thereafter. Interesting story but more importantly, that's the first time in my life I've ever watched or actually listened to the inflight movie. I even had to buy headphones from the stewardess, and they broke lickity split! Actually all in all that flight was kinda a night mare, turbulent the whole time, lasted another hour and a half in the air to make for a 7+ hour flight. But that's neither here more there. I guess you have to pay your pennance for having the benefit of wanting to watch the in flight movie.
