If you remember, my son celebrated his 18th birthday last month and I shared how we celebrated it on my post, “Legally Adult Since Yesterday.” And as I mentioned there, I am going to share what we filled our tummies with that day. Just got the chance to share this now, but better late than never so here you go. Let’s feast our eyes and perhaps drool over these delicious food. 🙂

As usual, it was a quarantine-style birthday dinner for him, but we’ve already gotten used to celebrating it that way. The most important thing is, we are enjoying good food in each other’s company. Not to mention, in the comfort of our own home which is 100% safe from COVID.

Lunch – Zoe’s Kitchen

This restaurant offers fresh made Mediterranean food. It was the first time that we have tried their food and it wasn’t even in the plan. I was checking my DoorDash app for restaurants when I mentioned the restaurant and my son said that they offer vegetarian food. I’m not vegetarian, but vegetarian food always appeals to me. So far, I haven’t eaten a vegetarian dish that I didn’t like.

So here are what I ordered for us.

Salmon & Shrimp Kabobs with Roasted Vegetables and Turmeric Rice

The hubs had the shrimp kabob and I had the salmon. I had all the broccoli for myself because the hubs is not a fan of broccoli. He had some of the carrots and we shared the turmeric rice.

They are all superb! I can’t wait to order from them again. I really enjoyed my lunch that day.

Chicken Kabob with Turmeric Rice

I ordered this for son. It’s a no brainer to order him a chicken dish. He is a big fan of chicken and he would eat chicken everyday.

Dinner – Vinnie’s Neighborhood Italian

This was the restaurant where we had our first dinner as a married couple, the evening of our wedding day. We ordered from them again for our 10th wedding anniversary dinner in February. They are one of the best, if not the best Italian restaurant here in Asheville.

Each dish was good for more than a single person so we ordered all of these to share. And as expected, all of the dishes did not disappoint.

Calamari Fritti

My son’s favorite appetizer of all time. If the restaurant has it, we’ve got to have it.

Linguini & Clams

We had this on our anniversary and we really enjoyed it. So I ordered it again.

Linguini & Shrimp

We ordered the one with scallops, but they called and told us they’re out of scallops and asked if it’s okay if they use shrimp. We love shrimp, too so, yeah!

And, that’s it!

Happy Foodie Friday, friends!
