I had a great Mother’s Day weekend. Last Friday, my husband took me out for dinner at Roy’s in San Francisco. Our little critter stayed with my inlaws. Roy’s just doesn’t seem to be kid friendly. I chose Roy’s because the restaurant gave out $20 dining gift card if you dine in at Roy’s from May 11 – 13.
Of course I had to order the Roy’s melting hot chocolate souffle
On May 12, my husband stayed home with our critter while I went to the mall to get my haircut. Afterwards, I visited my mom’s place and stayed there for a while. At my mom’s place, my 13 year old niece showed me some of her miniature sculptures she did herself. She is getting better at it.
Here are some miniatures she did:

Afterwards, I went back home to change for our dinner with my mother-in-law and the rest of my husband’s family. We were going to eat at a Chinese restaurant called Daimo but only dinner time available they had was past 7pm. So we decided to eat at Romano’s Macaroni Grill in El Cerrito. At Macaroni Grill, I ate the Pasta Di Mare (seafood pasta). I think it was just OK. The pasta wasn’t cooked enough. But the mussels tasted good. I think my husband’s pizza tasted better (sausage pizza). Our little critter ate spaghetti. Not sure why we got this coupon but our waiter gave us a $7 coupon for our next visit at Macaroni Grill. I didn’t see our waiter give this coupon to the other guests. I assume that we got the coupon because the cook had to make another pizza for my husband because the first pizza order gotten too cold by the time the waiter served it to my husband.
On May 13, I took my mom out at the movies to watch Dark Shadows. Dark Shadows was just OK. It’s been a long time since I watched a movie in a public movie theater. Normally I watch movies at Pixar. One thing I missed about watching a movie in a public theater is eating popcorn and hot dog with soda! I think eating inside Pixar’s theater is not permitted but once in a while I sit next to a person who grabs their wrapped burrito from their bag and eat it quietly.
For dinner, my husband, little critter and I went to Asia Wok and Grill near our home. Last time we ate at this restaurant was back in 2007! The food is good but just small portion. Even their large portion is only good enough for 2 people. We ordered Wor Won Ton Soup (pork, shrimp, won tons, chicken and veggies), fried rice, Hong Kong pan fried noodle and the thai basil chicken with greens.

Even though I was full, I had to get some ice cream. There is this Creamery near the Asian Wok and Grill restaurant. One scoop cost only $1. Instead of having my scoop of ice cream in a cup, I asked for a sugar cone since getting a sugar cone doesn’t cost anything extra. I had Rocky Road ice cream.
