Tessaro's

Dinner at Tessaro's on September 13.
I went to Tessaro's known as good hamburgers.
... it was good. My hamburger was cooked well. But idk, it's just ok for me. I guess I expected too much? I need some seasoning on my meat.
I like the atomosphere a lot. The bardender lady was awesome. The hostess makes me feel very welcome.

Stuffed Green Pepper

Dinner on September 12.
I got tons of green pepper and I decided to make stuffed green peppers. As I added some vegetables; carrots, onions, cones and eggplants, ground beef for only one hamburger was good enought to make 6 of stuffled peppers. I should have seasoned a bit more, but green pepper was very jucy and tasted good. 



Tartine

Lunch at Tartine on September 12.
I have been hungry for good sandwich since last sunday. I heard a good reputation from my co-workers about  a French Cafe in west end and I tried it today. Croque Monsieur looked good, but I was hungry for bugguate and ordered Pand Bagnat de Paule. It was really good. I picked salad on the side and I loved the dressing. But still I like La Gourmandine's sandwiches better. Still I difinetely come back here, Tartine.
