Noah's Kitchen

We were in Lexington this evening and decided to eat dinner at a cute little place downtown we'd seen last week when we were there called Noah's Kitchen.  Naturally, it's really difficult to plan for something when you have no idea what they have.  In looking over the menu there was the normal fare:  salads, sandwiches and pasta... I opted against a salad since I had one for lunch and they had no fat free or low fat dressings.  Instead I got a Grilled Chicken Caesar on Pita AND I asked for the steamed broccoli on the side rather than fries... impressive--right?  

Anyway, the food came quickly and my pita looked and actually tasted quite lovely.  But the steamed broccoli? They must not get many orders for that because it was atrocious!  I was going to eat it first to take up some room in my belly but when I picked up the first piece it was dripping in water and limp.  Eating it was like eating broccoli shaped water... no seasoning, no crispness, nothing that I usually love about broccoli.  UGH!  I tried to salt it but it was so dead that even salt couldn't revive any flavor.  As a result, I finished my pita and was still hungry which led to me stealing a few hot chips off Caden's plate... so as good as I felt about the first part of my day, I feel equally as frustrated with supper.  

Oh well, on to tomorrow's Cookie Swap at church and Mexican lunch!
