Next week's Top Ten Tuesday

HealthyFoodMy Top Ten list next week, because Tuesday falls on New Year's Day, should be Top Ten Resolutions; but I don't think I can come up with ten. I'm so bad with following through on resolutions that I've finally narrowed it down to two that I can keep:

Buy more fresh flowers. Eat more sweet butter.

However, possibly because of Resolution No. 2, it's not a bad time for me to come up with a list of places where you can eat healthier, which readers have been clamoring for.

OK, one person may have mentioned it.

Anyway, it's trickier than it sounds, because I don't want to just list natural food store counters. I'm even going to have to think about what "healthier" means. At most restaurants, how healthy your meal is depends on what you're willing to ask for, as in sauce on the side, not what's on the menu.

Suggestions are not only welcome with this one, they are desperately needed.

I'd put Niwana, 33rd and Charles, on the list of healthy choices. They start with a couple of bowls of vegetable relishes which are usually enough of an appetizer for me. More often then not I will order the Bipbim Bap -- a kind of Korean salad with hint of beef and a fried egg served with a bottle of sriracha-like sauce and rice on the side. The chopped sashimi/sauce appetizer and a bowl of miso soup make a good meal. Even their lunch box specials are divided in such a way as to make it easy to avoid whatever it is your diet wants you to avoid.
