Lobster tail.
My mom cooked an awesome surf and turf meal for us this weekend.
Lobster, filet mignon, mashed potatoes and asparagus.
She also cooked an amazing lunch that weekend as well. She served home made shumai, egg rolls and congee.
Freshly steamed shumai.
Salty black bean fish for the congee.
What an amazing meal this weekend. I think I just put back on all my weight.

Julia wanted to try out a new restaurant, so we drove over to Oakland to eat at Homeroom. They’re known for their Mac and Cheese, and one of my friends (Rebekah) recommended it to me a few months ago.
Annie puts our name down to get a table.

While we both had experience in the industry. Erin had worked in restaurant kitchens before becoming a lawyer, and Allison was a server before she entered corporate marketing. Nothing had prepared us for the year it took to launch Homeroom. –Homeroom Story

If you decide to go here, you should definitely order the Garlic Mac and Cheese… and be prepared for a huge portions. We had left-overs for days. One dish was certainly enough for two people.
I would say that this place is for hard core mac and cheese lovers. If you only like mac and cheese exclusively as a side dish, Homeroom may not be for you.

For the record, Julia really liked this place. Annie felt like it was way too much Mac and Cheese. For me personally, I think the Mac and Cheese was good, but needed more salt. The dish with bacon was actually pretty tasty… but I agree with Annie, it was a little heavy.
Nonetheless, delicious!
