Saturday we went out to eat twice. Both times, it was not fun. For breakfast, we decided to try a place Leah's friend recommended in Edmonds called Brusseau's. She raved about it and said it had "tons of healthy stuff" too, so we tried it. It turns out that her idea of healthy is apparently pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, quiche, etc. The only thing even remotely healthy on the menu was a veggie scramble, which we had to request with egg whites, no cheese and substitute whole wheat toast for the muffin (not an english muffin, but a full-on fatty, sugar-laden muffin). When we got our "veggie" scramble, the only veggies they used were zuchinni and squash, which had been sauteed in a ton of butter. Yuck. All this for 6 bucks. We ate it in like 10 minutes and left. I realize that it was a fine place to eat for a regular fatty weekend breakfast when you don't care about health, but we will probably never go there again, even if we stop dieting.

As for dinner... well, that's a whole 'nother story! We finally made it to Anthony's Homeport for the mussels and cioppino. The food was good, but the experience was less than ideal. Pop ended up getting drunk and stumling around and it took us an hour and a half just to order and eat dinner (of course, Pop took the longest) and that's not counting the hour we waited in the lounge because we didn't make reservations and there was a wedding party there that night. On the plus side, I did try oysters on the half shell for the first time and they really were not bad. And we had a really, really good waiter who even comped Leah the dinner salad she got to go with the mussels appetizer she wanted for dinner, so her meal only cost about $8.
