I'll take a table with an ocean view

Thank you everyone for your comments on the tortilla making.  Next time I want to do whole wheat and also corn.  The reason we didn't go with corn this time was we were trying to do it as much from scratch as possible and we didn't have the time to actually grind the corn.  I will say in the future we will be doing this, but the easier route of not actually grinding our own corn.  Some of you gave me suggestions for the corn tortillas, so thank you for your input.

After our Mexican meal, Ryan really wanted a nice milkshake, complete with low fat ice cream, skim milk and frozen strawberries.  Oh wait, don't forget a few squirts of no sugar added chocolate syrup.  This immersion blender, or as I call it, the magic stick, is amazing.  If you do not have one, you should get one.  The good news is that it is small so if you have limited space you can easily shove it between something.

Yummy!  Too much for me in one sitting.  I had to save some for later.

Have you seen this before?

Or this?  Ryan bought them at the BX.  We don't really have the ability to do a garden here, so this may be the next best thing.  If you have tried this product out, please let me know your thoughts.

Saturday night, the night before our From Scratch meal, but after our cheap Kono Pizza date, we decided to head to Porto Judeo to try Rocha.  I dined here once before, but Ryan didn't, so it was just as good as trying a new restaurant.

When we first arrived we had 15 minutes until the opened, so we walked down a side street to look at the ocean.  You can see the heavy fog that is just covering spilt rock off the coast of the island.

Then we walked back over to the restaurant.  I think this church looks neat with the dome, so I took a picture.

Here we are back at the restaurant, and this time they were open.

Mmmm, fresh cheese and a side of pepper spread.

Regular, fresh baked bread, and some garlic bread.

Ryan and I decided to split dinner, or rather we ordered the portion for 2.  This is a special dish of the island, and I have seen it on menus before, but never tried it.  It is called, in English of course, fish in a tile.  This is a clay tile pot and the food is cooked inside.  Yes, the tile is hot!  

It comes with fish, shrimp and potatoes in a creamy sauce.

It was very good and we both enjoyed it.

I couldn't resist snapping a picture of the menu where they had camel drool pudding.  Sounds good, but I was stuffed after this meal.

So instead I had a coffee and enjoyed my table with an ocean view.

QUESTIONS:  Have you ever requested a table with an ocean view?  Any other places you like to eat where the view just can't be beat?

HAPPY REGISTERED DIETITIAN DAY!!!
