Weight Watchers day 5 - Parsley Mediterranean Grille

Another day, hopefully another few ounces away.  Feeling confident that I would come in under budget again, I had bacon and sausage with two eggs this morning.  I had the Doritos, not Sun Chips or Baked Lays, with my 6 inch Subway sandwich.  This put me in a slightly compromised position for dinner, but I was able to cope.  My wife and I ate dinnner at Parsley Meditteranean Grille.  I ordered the shrimp kebob, house salad, and grilled vegetables.  It was served with a pita, which I did eat.  The food was tasty enough, but I didn't have that full or overfull feeling that I normally get eating out.  I suppose I ate like a "normal", healthy person.

The owner lady walked by and I asked her where the food was from.  She said it was Mediterranean, which I'd already surmised from the name of the place.  But where in the Mediterranean?  She said it was all Lebanese food except for the gyros which are from Greece.  She mentioned the gyros almost dismissively, but her business savvy showed in admitting that they are top sellers.  I though it made good business sense in how she promoted the fare.  A Lebanese restaurant might be viewed as too ethnic for this Midwestern town.
Meditteranean conjures up images of wine, cruise ships on blue waters, Italy, and Greek isles.

I recommend Parsley if you like Lebanese/Greek type food.
