Veggie and chicken breast stir fry on udon noodles with red curry sauceraspberry sorbet and a nip of chocolatemonrien i like your tastes - can i have dinner with you....
I took out my cast iron skillet, put in a good measure of olive oil, a smushed garlic clove, some fresh green beans, a slice onion, salt, pepper and panko, stirred it all up and roasted the whole thing, then put the mixture over rigatoni. Sprinkled a little fresh thyme from my garden on top, and it was scrummy. For dessert we had a bowl of fresh strawberries, also from my garden.
Did this thread get recycled? It's suddenly short.
We walked to one of the restaurants participating in dining week last night. The boys were so good. I am a sucker for fusion restaurants, and this was Latin Fusion. Gwyn ordered carne asada, I had the veg burrito (only veg choice on prix fixe) which was quite unique, and had loads of julienne vegetables in there. For starters, I had a blue cheese salad, while Gwyn chose the butternut squash soup. (Those were both excellent.) They had no kids menu, so the boys split a snapper wrapped in banana leaf with a coconut sauce, on a bed of sweet potato discs. My little boy loves salsa! I am so proud. He could not get enough of it. I guess there was no baby-switching at the maternity ward after all!!! For dessert, vanilla flan for me (with these amazing candied vanilla strands on top), sorbet trio for Gwyn, and we let the boys share an insane banana/chocolate duo (banana cake with chocolate ice cream, and chocolate cake with banana ice cream). The nice thing was that the desserts were not those obnoxiously portioned beasts you get at some establishments. We nearly finished everything.
