Cost of Take-Out Lunch, Week Ending 100110

Tuesday: Jack in the Box Southwest Chicken Salad: $6
Wednesday: Subway, 6" Turkey on Wheat with everything, no condiments: $5
Thursday: Knowlwood Cheeseburger: $5
Friday: Cedar Creek prix fixe lunch menu for OC Restaurant Week*: lobster bisque cappucino, Marcy's Salad, and Coconut Cake: $23

*Let's stop and talk about this lunch for a minute. The lobster bisque was served in a cappucino cup, topped with enough cream to choke a weasel. Halfway through, I was ready to gag.

Marcy's salad, "barbecued chicken and mixed baby greens are tossed with apples, blue cheese, red onion, cilantro, corn, spicy peanuts, ranch dressing and crisp tortilla strips," was tip top.  It had peanuts in it that I didn't think would work for me, but it did.  I highly recommend this salad, it was that good.

The Coconut Cake? HUGE. Simply monumental for a cake portion.  It seemed as though there was a serious surplus of the stuff, and Cedar Creek was trying to offload as much as quickly as possible.  And so sweet! A couple of bites had my teeth aching for water. If teeth had hands complete with opposable thumbs, they'd have milked my salivary glands for relief.
