Calamari and Pigtails



A couple of weeks ago Mark and I looked at each other and said, ya know, we have a lot of kids.(Big Smile) We decided that they each could probably use a little one on one attention, so this year, each month one kido will get to pick a restaurant and go out all alone with Mom and Dad. Meghan was the lucky one to go first. She is our little seafood lover and has been wanting to go to Market Street Grill and try some Calamari. She also decided that she wanted her Nana and Papa to tag along. We had a great time. As soon as we walked in, her face lit up and she said, "I smell shrimp!" She ordered the Salmon and LOVED it. She had 5 or 6 pieces of Calamari. She liked it, but not as much as the Salmon. I had 1 or 2 pieces. It tasted pretty good but I just can't get past the fact that I am eating OCTOPUS! (It's just such a yucky thought). It looked to me like Papa loved the stuff, Crazy Guy. Meghan had fun trying to crack open the Crab leg to get to the meat. That was just "okay" tasting, she said. After we were done eating, they brought her out a little dish of ice cream. Needless to say she loved The Market Street Grill and we loved spending alone time with our little Meg!

Trying the Calamari. "Not bad!" she said.


Now that's a BIG Crabs leg!

Meghan eating her very favorite thing- Salmon!

MMMMMMMM Ice Cream

I just left you a comment and don't know what happened to it!

Looks like a great tradition. Glad that mom and dad got to go with. I know how much dad loves sea food.

How fun! A seafood loving kid! That is unusual here in Utah.

I'm scared to death of octopus! Papa would love it here in Korea with all the octopus.

Octopus. Not for me. Market Street Grill on the other hand. I'll take it. Right here on my street in Korea.
