After Himself's doctor's appointment, we stopped for lunch at Ted's Montana Grill in Westborough. I had my usual unsweetened ice tea with lemon. The waitress also placed on the table a small bowl of dill pickles which we made short work of.
The restaurant was busy, but not overly crowded. The service was a tad slow, but we didn't have anywhere else to be so we enjoyed a nice, leisurely lunch.
I remarked to Himself how I enjoy this pastime or hobby. That is making appointments or running errands close to lunch or dinner and then going out to eat. For some reason, it's been a while since we have been doing that.

For my appetizer I had a crab cake with kale salad and guacamole. The kale salad tasted like grass clippings. It mad me think of a line from some comedian that "salad is what food eats". The crabcake was delicious.
Besides beef, Ted offers bison which is leaner and contains more protein than beef. I had bison meatloaf with mashed potatoes and carrots. Himself had bison brisket with the same sides. Both were delicious. The portion was generous enough so I don't have to cook dinner tonight.
For dessert, Himself had a giant chocolate chip cookie. Oh, the table covering was a map of Montana.
I had cheesecake with a raspberry coulis

Kale.....🤢🤮

DeleteEverything looks delicious. I'm glad you got to enjoy a meal out. I'm not a fan of kale either, lol.
ReplyDeleteWe had a nice, leisurely lunch. Bonus no cooking for 2 nights.
DeleteWow, your meal looks so delicious! I'd happily join you and run errands to get that as a treat - yum 😊. Sorry I haven't been around this month, we've been on holiday. Take care and sending you Happy T Day wishes ❤️. Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThat's why I went with him to his doc appointment. I knew lunch would be involved.
DeleteOh I love it when people show me what they eat. Different countries serve different food and I find that interesting. I don't think I've ever eaten bison.
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at the comedian's description of the kale. Here, (perhaps fortunately) we don't have kale....
Happy T-Day

Bison is quite good. Like beef. I had it in a hamburger once and thought it was a bit dry, but that could have been the way it was cooked. Lucky you and no kale. Kale seems to be all the rage here.
DeleteI had never heard of being served dill pickles before dinner. It must be a local thing? Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteI thought it must be a Montana thing 😺
DeleteI am sorry, the above is me .Foxy .stamping .sharon

DeleteCrab cakes are delicious, I love them. Cheesecake as well. I've never had bison, though. Happy T day!
ReplyDelete2 out of 3 ain't bad 😺
DeleteThis looks delicious. I think I'd have ordered your husband's meal. I like that hobby too-making appointments and then going out for lunch. :) Hope it was a super T day.
ReplyDeleteI had thought about the brisket, but then he said he was going to order it. We usually order different things and then have a taste of each other's meal
DeleteSo nice when you get to enjoy a meal out ...
ReplyDeleteKale is not everyone's favourite but it is very nutritious.
All the best Jan
Pats on the back to me. I did eat it. I don't think I'd go out of my way to order it. 😉
Delete...to "make short work of"!!!! Well said - I learn so much from other countries these days. "Beistrich" for "comma" is also one of those.
ReplyDeleteNice napkin, too! Oh, and kale!!! I have some in the freezer! And I´d love to try bison! Doesn´t it taste "wild"?
Love when people take care in even such details as a tablecloth.
Happy belated T-Day!
Bison taste is similar to beef. It's leaner and has a slightly sweeter taste. It doesn't taste gamey.
Delete'grass clippings' LOL
ReplyDeleteYup, what food eats 😺
Deleteoh my goodness everything looks delicious! Lovely! have a wonderful rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You, too.
DeleteIt's fun to coincide errands with meal times, so that you can get lunch or dinner while you're out.
ReplyDeleteBecause his appointment was near lunch time was the only reason I tagged along. There are lots of restaurants where the doctor's office is located
