Big Mouth Burgers

After weighing in at Weight Watchers my son and I were hungry so we ate dinner at Big Mouth Burgers.  I know probably not a good idea but hey we were starving. After WW meeting my son wanted to go to Game Stop so after we finished getting his game at Game Stop, which is near Big Mouth Burgers it smelled so good, we decided to eat there.  I called up hubby and asked him if he wanted to meet us there.  It was crowded so we when we ordered our food we got it to go.  I think everyone got there at the same time.  While were  waiting a table opened up so we sat down to wait for our food.  The boy watched the World Series on the big screen TV hanging on the wall while we waited for our food. When the food arrived we ate it there since we were already sitting at a table.  Hubby and I split a Big Mouth Burger no cheese and the french fries and our son got the small Big Mouth Burger off the kids menu.  I had a chocolate shake made with dark chocolate that was really good.  I have never had a shake made with dark chocolate before.  Hubby got a root beer float and the boy got a coke. The hamburger was moist and juicy and really flavorful and the fries were soft and yummy.  They were cooked perfectly with a little bit of skin on them.  Big Mouth Burgers has three restaurants in my area.  We will definitely eat there again.  They have an extensive menu with something for everyone.

Sam's Chowder House

Hubby, son and I went for a bike ride this afternoon.  After we finished our bike ride we ate dinner at Sam's Chowder House.  This is the first time we have eaten there.  Even at 7:00 it was very busy. The wait for an inside table was half an hour.  They had outside tables so we ate outside since it was a nice day.  It was really nice but towards the end of our meal it got a little cool out.  So we had clam chowder to start that we shared.  It was really good even the boy liked it.  I had a BBQ Braised Pork Shoulder on a bed of Italian swiss chard and polenta chips which is a rectangle of polenta that is fried.  The pork was tender and tasty.  There was a lot of swiss chard.  Nothing beats a slow cooked pork shoulder.  Hubby got the Lobster sandwich which was good that came with potato chips and coleslaw.  The boy got grilled Salmon fillet on a bed of corn and spinach.He liked his salmon. I tried the Salmon and the Lobster sandwich and they were both good. The restaurant is a little expensive but it is really good and they give  good size portions.  A perfect ending to a gorgeous day.  We will definitely go back  but we will make reservations the next time.

Heirloom Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Pizza

Hubby and I were shopping at Lunardi's and saw they had heirloom tomatoes so we bought some.  We have been wanting to try them.  I didn't know what I was going to do with them.  I was watching TV and a commercial game on for Round Tables heirloom tomato flat bread that looked really good.  I decided to make heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella and basil pizza for dinner tonight.  I made the pizza dough in the bread machine.  I cut up tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.  I also cut up some shallots and caramelized them.  After the pizza dough was done, I divided the dough into two. I stretched the dough out then I brushed it with olive oil, then layered with mozzarella, tomatoes, added salt and pepper, basil, caramelized onions and some more mozzarella on top.  The second one I added pepperoni because hubby wanted pepperoni on one.  I baked the pizzas for 20 minutes.  They were so good.  The tomatoes were sweet, the basil and mozzarella complimented each other and the caramelized onions just topped it off.  I will definitely make this pizza again when the heirloom tomatoes are in season.

Cars 2 Review

We saw Cars 2 today.  My son has been wanting to see this movie since it first came out. It is an action packed spy thriller featuring a suave British agent, Finn McMissile, just like what James Bond would be if he were born as a Peerless GT voiced by Michael Caine.  I wasn't too sure about the movie since all of the reviews about it were not good.  So I was pleasantly surprised that it was a good movie.  Mater finds love, respect and a pair of jet engines when he accompanies McQueen to the World Grand Prix as part of his pit crew.  He gets mistaken for an American spy, Mater finds himself embroiled in International intrigue. Mater is the hero of the movie.  The scenes were bright and very beautiful.  The neon lit Tokyo was very pretty.
