A few glasses of Prosecco
A nice specialty cocktail with bourbon, blackberries and mint
Some white wine
A glass of jack Daniels single Barrel
A lobster cocktail (3 lobster tails served over dry ice with honey blossom butter, remoulade, and cocktail sauce)
French fries with truffle oil, shaved Parmesan, sea salt, and a side of garlic aioli
Beef tartar with crustini
A glass of 40 year port
Holy crap, kill me now

Yum!
I had crispy sweet breads with a havarti and procuitto, mac and cheese. A couple glasses of sancerre and moules meiniere. Steak tartare and belle gloss pinot noir followed with a cheese plate and some poached pears with a white chocolate goat cheese mousse. Coffee finished it off.
So full and happy:)

I really love it too! And yes, it is hard to find here with any regularity. Maybe it will catch on? One can hope!!

damn, leftover chili, leftover garlic cheese bread, leftover poached pear in red wine. [I am the only one home tonight and am cleaning out the leftovers.]
_sob_
What I want -
a well marbled dry aged NY Strip steak, grilled black and blue, little salt and pepper
artichokes with hollandaise for dipping
chopped salad - romaine, spinach, little bit of carrot, radish, red onion, kalamata olives and garbanzo beans with mrAru’s homemade balsamic vinaigrette
classic baked custard for dessert
Well, maybe Ill get that this weekend. Probably not the artichoke yet - not really in season yet. Though I normally use vinaigrette to dip, I think first really good chokes this spring I may splurge and make hollandaise.

Truffles are something I haven’t learned to like, but the rest sounds lovely.
I had a homemade caipirinha (read: the best kind of caipirinha) and a dish of peppers, gnocchi, and chicken sausage in tomato sauce. It’s a weeknight and I’m a mom, no restaurants for me.

I’m still in Mexico so I’m eating fresh, fresh, fresh.
Tonight I walked downtown and bought some ham and pineapple empanadas with chimmichuri and a bottle of jamaica water. Took them home, mashed up an avocado, fried a few chips and reheated some plantains fried in butter with a squeeze of key lime.
If the postres truck should happen to come by later tonight I’ll buy myself a piece of key lime pie for dessert. If not, I’ll have a piece of watermelon and a couple of Jolly Ranchers.

Tony’s Three Chili Chicken and BBQ Pork Fried Rice from Lao Sze Chuan in Chicago.
When they finally catch and execute me this is what I want for my last meal.

Oh, hell yeah. That reminds me. It’s been close to a year since I’ve been to Lao Sze Chuan. I need to rectify that.
Today’s dinner was some kind of improvised chicken curry-esque dish, as well as methi thepla (fenugreek leaf roti/flatbread kind of things) to snack on.

Wow, you wasted a ton of money on that. There’s a Doritos flavor for that now.
I was a pretentious idiot and they kicked me out, so don’t do what I did!

That does it. No more bath salts for me.
The cat’s trust fund is light on vegetables, and the library smells like goat cheese. Until i can get the Geneva convention to recognize salami as a deity, I’ll be forced to treat civil rights violations the same way that ventriloquists treat non-kosher foods. Tilda Swinton won’t clean my bathroom again until I acknowledge that space turtles may in fact be sentient.
Sooo glad there are $3 six inch subs at subway now. Those $5 footlongs were a rip off!
So glad I could clear things up.
No more bath salts starting tomorrow.
