Something good with good wine

Dinner on December 8.

I wanted to open a good wine. I was going to cook beef shank but I didn't have cheap wine for cooking. I had no idea what I would like to cook, but eventually I decided to cook pork loin. hmmmm, it's ok. Now I am hungry for beef shank.

Dinner at Nine on Nine on December 6.

It had been more than a year since dining here and I missed the risotto. So I  decided to go back prior to a Friday show. I made a reservation and the staff asked me if I would go to a show after that. It was nice for them. When I got there, it looked not busy in spite of Friday evening. I guessed it's because of crappy weather. It was lucky for me because I didn't have plenty of time till the show.

However the service was slow. I had to ask my bill when my entree was served. I know it's not nice but I didn't want to late.

Ok, about meal. Long story, short, I won't come back. So disappointing. The rissoto was good, but it came without the shaved truffles that I had asked for. They were brought out in a ramekin after I had eating 1/3 of the dish. My entree, snapper, was mediocre or less. The cod plate my husband ordered was under cook. People working there seemed nice and friendly, but I couldn't enjoy the meal at all.I still like the risotto but I don't think I will be back.

Baked Mac'n Cheese. I think I made mac'n cheese last week. I bought a gallon of milk. I am sure I will make it again in a week. Anyway this week mac'n cheese has salmon, spinach and broccoli. Yum.

Did I have hamburger yesterday? I did defrost ground beef. Also I had bean sprouts and garlic chives in the fridge.... Ok, stir-fry. Easy and I can put whatever I want:)

 

Tessaro's

Dinner at Tessaro's on November 30.

Last time I wen to Tessaro's, I didn't enjoy the hamburger much. Of course, it was good but it's not special. Today I enjoyed the hamburger a lot. Maybe I added BBQ sauce on my hamburger and I guess I like the simple one better. I was so happy that they had cauliflower to pick for my sides.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving meal on November 26.

Look my talented sister-in-law did on thanksgiving day. It's impressive. I'm glad that she picked quills instead of turkey. I know turkey is traditional but I'm not a big fan of it. Anyway I enjoyed the meal a lot! Thanks, sis.
