More Free Food

Really not enjoying this weather.  I cannot wait for it to get cooler! 

Some random ramblings…We tried the Quinoa and Arugula salad from CPK for free.  This is a nice freebie because you don’t have to purchase anything and it is good for take-out.  I thought it was pretty good; it made me want to cook with quinoa at home.

D and I went out for date night at Lucca with my birthday BOGO.  The pasta dishes we ordered were cooked perfectly al dente.  004

003

Asparagus and Fried Egg: Very rich a little too oily, but we split both, so it was not too overwhelming.

Amatriciana: Served piping hot and definitely spicy with a hint of sweetness. 

007

For dessert (also gratis): a deconstructed s’more.  Cute, but the marshmallow was too sweet for us.  The kids would’ve loved it.  I would definitely recommend signing up for their birthday club.

I pretended to take a picture of D, but I was really taking a picture of the waitstaff going over the specials and taste testing several dishes.

006

I also noted that there was a bar for disabled people.  Never saw that before.  (Looks like it serves mainly as a storage space, though).

Lucca is located near the “nice part” of Irvine.  We had to take a picture of this high rollin’ truck.  Wow.
