Well my day today has been far better than the one before.  I had a lovely day walking around the Mall of America.

I enjoyed some tasty food throughout the time spent there.  I think I did pretty well keeping with my points.  I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I joined weight watchers a few weeks back.  It's been interesting keeping up with it but I'm doing well so far I think.

First I shared a strawberry-banana crepe from the Magic Pan Crepe stand.  I'm pretty fond of crepes and they are only 2 points according to WW.  I'm glad that I can still eat the things I like.

Next I had a tea from the Tea Garden.  I really enjoy the selection there.  I can't remember what kind I got.  It had something to do with blood oranges... Oh well.  It was good.  I think I'll try to taste all the teas there.  I'm sure that'll be a challenge but I'm up for it!  It's tasty tea!  I love tea.

After enjoying some tasty tea I tried Tiger Sushi for my meal before work.  It was surprisingly good.  I tried grilled calamari instead of fried.  As much as I love me some fried food I know grilled would be much better for me and was pretty darn good.

Grilled Calamari...I had already ate from it before I remembered to take a photo...oops.

We also order and order of what they called tiger balls.  The name itself is pretty comical and partly the reason I wanted to try them.  It was just salmon prepared nigiri style.  Basically it was some balled up rice with salmon on top and a small strip of what I believe to be seaweed around it.  Also delicious.

Mmm balls...lol

However, it was not as delicious as the main course.  We just did the option of let the chef pick what to make and this beautiful roll came out.

Does't it just look delicious!  I believe it has eel on top because they asked if we had an preferences to give the chef ideas and I told him I liked eel.  Then in the middle is some shrimp tempura and I honestly can't remember what the yellow thing was.  All I know is that it was fantastic.  I also know that I love eel sauce...whatever it is....

I love me some food. 'Nuff said.
