Will walk for food
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
Last night's dinner was a 4,000-step round-trip excursion to the local park for a food truck roundup.
Hey, it's March, it's below 80 degrees and we're taking advantage of the great weather.
(By the way, for you locals, the Food Truck Invasion is every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at Plantation Heritage Park, on the corner of Peters Road and Fig Tree Lane.)
The selection didn't really lean toward healthful fare. Burgers, fried calamari, lobster mac and cheese, burritos, ice cream ... you get the picture.
As much as I wanted to dive into a dish of lobster mac and cheese, I found an Italian food truck that offered a chicken paillard topped with salad and an olive-caper dressing.
Not as much fun as lobster mac and cheese but it didn't blow my eating plan to smithereens either, and that made it taste even better.
Actually, it was a good thing I went light on dinner because the San Pellegrino I ordered was actually a 150-calorie Italian lemon soda (and thoroughly delicious).
And for dessert? A sweet close-up photo on one of Plantation's goofy, gnarly trees.
