cheese cake factory
what an anticlimatic day!
around mid morning i was really hungry so i had a little package of oyster crackers from the company cafeteria. Then we went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory around 11:30. I volunteered to go pick up a present for my boss on behalf of the team -- so I took a 30 minute walk around the mall prior to that. When I arrived at the table, the appetizer has already arrived. it was a piece of fried avocado eggroll, a cream cheese crab "wonton", and salmon stuffed fried something or another. oy that was bad. but sooooo sooooo soooooo good. it's probably 500 cal in the three little pieces of appetizer. oh but it was glooooorious! then my entree took about 40 minutes to arrived, during which i had two spieces of bread with no butter. The bread they serve there is pretty small -- round pieces, 2 inches in diameter and about half an inch thick. so. sure, carbs, ooo. i got the miso baked salmon as previously planned, on a bed of broccoli. I ate all the broccoli first before attacking the fish. and ended up eating very little of the already lunch portioned fish. I felt maybe 70 percent full at this time. and for a change, i put the fork down. i doubt i had more than 3 or 4 oz of the fish, if that. the miso paste was as predicted a misnomer -- it's just teriyaki grilled salmon, nothing that exotic. Then it's the time of truth -- the dreaded cheese cake portion....i ordered the Chocolate Truffle cheesecake -- doesn't that just make your mouth water? well it did for me...for about 30 seconds -- but i ordered it to go. it came in a clear box. so I simply pushed it away and sipped my diet soda. chatted. and when i got back to work -- i was neither stuffed nor sleepy like rest of my team. it felt great. I ended up giving the cheesecake away. trust me, that was the hardest part of the entire day -- i so wanted to just have ONE taste -- but seriously, it's more of a psychological thing than a physical yearning for the taste of cheesecake. You know. if i reeeealy want cheesecake, this restaurant is only 5 minutes away from my home, i can go anytime. so there's really no reason for me to feel deprived -- i'm an adult, i can control when and where i want a $6 slice of cheesecake. just because it's free doesn't mean i have to do it. anyway, on my way home i picked up a DDR pad and the new ddr game. I could go to the gym today -- but really this is just much more fun. |
