Tender is the Night

Tender Greens is my kind of place. Good food, decent prices and a healthyish vibe. I love the Ahi Tuna salad which is my standby order. The tuna is always juicy and succulent. The salad leaves are kissed with just the right touch of oil to tartness. And the salt is justicious like a sound judge - just enough but not too much. The quail egg is appreciated as are the little tomatoes. It's a good meal.


I rarely eat red meat but I have ordered the steak plate at least twice from Tender Greens - which is a lot for me. It's that good. Juicy, rare steak with a mound of the most buttery evil mashed taters you could want and a little salad for the heck of it.



The mint lemonade is a treat to drink, as is the agua fresca which tastes just like a sugared watermelon would if you could drink it down.

Hanging about at Tender Greens for almost 2 hours leads to thoughts of dessert. Hence, carrot cake and chocolate cupcake. The carrot cake was the champ in this battle.



While loitering about, we attracted company, including this two legged friend. He was born that way but he, like Stephen Hawking, had a special wheelchair made so he could move around. Unlike Mr. Hawking, however, I don't think this dog will ever use his motorized voice to say things like "You are stupid". That's too bad.



My dog was jealous but I told him if you lose your front legs, we'll get you one of them fancy contraptions too. He looked at me like, "you are stupid."



Lazy Sundays eating tender greens and carrot cupcakes and drinking lemonade are truly priceless, especially when furry friends come visiting on their scooters.
