Here is what we've eaten:

1. 1.5-lb steamed lobster with a sherry garlic sauce (Legal Seafood @ Short Hills Mall)
2. Papardelle Bolognese (@ Del Maio)
3. grilled cheese sandwiches (homemade! Sara Lee 7-grain sliced bread, white American cheese, & sliced turkey)
4. Potato & spinach knish & vegetable soup (@ Grand Central Station's eatery)
5. apple cider (@ Bryant Park)
6. chicken & stuffing casserole with canned creamy chicken soup (homemade)
7. layered red Jello with whipped cream (@ Prestige Diner)
8. Christmas Eve dinner (homemade!: meatballs, pasta, deviled eggs, potato salad, green salad
9. Christmas dinner (homemade!): honey-baked ham, pot roast, baked asparagus, mashed potatoes (with a full container of sour cream mixed in), cookies, cookies, cookies
10. cinnamon coffee cake (homemade)
11. cream of potato soup (Prestige Cafe)

13. Turkey, cranberry sauce, Russian salad sandwich (diner in Pennsylvania)
14. oven-baken lamb, aloo gohbi, fried rice with pineapple and other fruits, fried tilapia, chicken tikka masala (@ Mendhi Restaurant in Morristown, NJ - plus, Robby and Jeanne got mendhi done on their hands)

15. onion & potato dosa, vegetable dosa, rasam soup, chapathi, thali (@ Saravana Bhavan in Edison, NJ)
16. "sloppy joe" sandwiches from the Town Deli in New Providence ("sloppy joe" is turkey and cole slaw)

This is an indication of how we eat out here. Different than California, huh?
Let's guess how much weight Robby and Jeanne have gained over Xmas break!
