Today, the water was shut down for quite some time. Apparently, they need to prep the main water lines for the freezing winter that is around the corner. This happens once every year. For almost 24 hours we are left with no water in the taps.
I always prep myself with extra bottles of water and store bucketloads of tap water from the night before. However, it leaves me with no interest to cook. Who is going to take the hassle of dirty dishes with no tap water, right?
Come dinner time, I get that sweet sweet devilish craving. The type that'd make you lie to your wife. The type which will make you siphon fuel from your own car. The type that feels like an itch on your back that you can't reach.
I brushed through the menu of Mafia restaurant. I say brush because I know the menu pretty much by heart. It didn't take me 3 minutes to decide what I wanted to eat, but I did take at least 20 minutes before ordering. Coz I didn't want the waiter to judge me, ya know?
The empty belly in the grocery store kinda thing kicked in. I ordered a large margarita pizza. It is my go-to pizza. But I've never ordered a large one. Ever. In total this monster weighed 690 grams. That's more than half a kilo and change! What was I thinking?
By itself, it wouldn't be so bad. Especially if you haven't cooked anything for the entire day coz your water is out. But then again, this thing is loaded with oil and cheese. That is 690 grams too many!
Look at these sizes! A slice was bigger than my palm. Now I do not know if my palms are tiny-sized, but this pizza was way too big. I was craving to eat. But I'd better be careful what I wished for, I guess.
But that's not the end of it all. Since I was hungry and had no clue what my order would look like in reality, I went on another spree. I asked for appetizers. A chunky ol' cheese fingers with a cherry dipping sauce on the side. Tell me that isn't overkilling!
Now, there are a few things that are very satiating. Rice, potatoes, cheese, basically carbs. These things fill you up real good. A small portion of these will make you feel them all the way from your stomach to your throat.
The cheese fingers are a hit and sometimes a miss, too. It isn't for everyone. Crunchy cheesy shell encompassing really melty soft cheese filling. 7 fingers, like Shreks. These bad boys are an appetizer?
The dip is the tricky part though. They may seem off to many. The combination isn't the greatest. It took me some time to get used to it and really appreciate the pairing.
That is not the end of it. I was really way over my head. By the time the pizza and cheese fingers arrived, I had already forgotten about the french fries I had ordered. I was too deep. My stomach isn't as deep, though.
Keeping that in mind, I had also ordered a whole 49 piece sushi set. That's the picture at the top of this post. 49 pieces! A whole mix. Mango, cheese, salmon, crab, you name it.
The set was overwhelming. I think I took 3 pieces and I had to call it a night. By the time the beautifully aromatic sushi set came along, I was only halfway done with my pizza. I was in a pickle.
I ended up clearing the pizza, the cheese fingers, and the fries. The sushi was just way too much for me. I had to make it a takeaway. This may have been the very first time I had overlooked how much I was ordering. What a night at Mafia!
