Runs with knives!
Another meal on wheels as we're preparing for HENRY V. Simple food, tonight, and a strange mix… Hummus, pita bread, cookies, and some candy, all washed down with Frutopia. Whoever said that theatre people eat well was wrong!
Tonight was opening night of HENRY V, and another whirlwind dinner on the go. We ate from Wendy's restaurant as we made our way to the theater. Wendy's is a below-average restaurant all the time, in my opinion, but tonight's 'food' was sub-par even for…
Tonight, on our way to the show (HENRY V), we ate at Sebastian's, a Greek restaurant on the west side of the city.
Sebastian's has long been a favorite 'dive' for me. Converted from an old ice cream parlor, the restaurant is a cramped space. A few booths line the walls, a couple tables sit in the middle of the restaurant, and the rest of the space is kitchen/prep area.

Wendy & I ran some errands before stopping at the grocery store to pick up the week's groceries and the fixings for tonight's dinner. The salmon looked good, so we got some of that. Some califlower, carrots, onions, and mushrooms as well. I prepared baked…
