Portsmouth Adventures on September 3, 2008
The pretty scene at a lobster stack, Geno's Chowder & Sandwich Shop,
where we went for lunch.
Lobster soup.  Good when hot.
An okay lobster sandwich, accompanied by okay potato chips.
Colorful autumn trees and a stately house, both spotted while walking around
Portsmouth.

Popovers, a cafe where we
stopped for a snack.
The eponymous popovers: light, hollow rolls.  Accompanied by maple
butter.  Good.

Dinner at Home on September 3, 2008
My mom's shrimp and vegetable stir fry, which we tossed with pasta.   This picture sadly doesn't reflect the dish's vibrant colors.

Birthday Dinner at Texas Roadhouse (in Newington) on September 4, 2008

Very good dinner rolls with cinnamon butter.
Good house salad with house-made ranch dressing.  They got my order
wrong, leaving off the croutons and making me manual removing the
cheese.  No big deal.
A good prime rib--the caliber of P.J. Skidoos, my Virginia-located
benchmark--and good steak fries.

Doesn't the dish look tasty?  It was. :)

A good house-made chocolate cake brownie, though with admittedly too
little ice cream.

Most of us ate prime rib. I believe Di Yin ordered a combination plate of some sort.

We all scavenged. My parents had a pizza. I had an omelette. Di Yin had her Texas Roadhouse leftovers.
