Spago
Wolfgang Pucks Flagship restaurant.
Early family bday dinner with my daughter and SIL.
Last time we’ll see them for awhile.

Hearth Baked. (Bread Box)
Sourdough Pain d’epi. Carta de Musica with parmesan and rosemary. Carmelized onion caraway rolls. Eggplant babaganoush with smoked paprika oil and cultured Vermont butter.

SIL and I shared
Spicy big eye tuna tartar cones.
Sesame, ginger, chili aioli, wasabi, daikon sprouts

Oysters we’re Kusshi and Kumamoto.
I asked for all Kumamoto but some of those sneaky B.C. oysters snuck in there too @Its_me_Stella

Grilled Marcho farms veal chop
Braised, treviso, leeks, black garlic, grain mustard, and rosemary

My daughter had an Apple Tart Tartin she insisted I take a pic of. How could I say no.

I almost texted my sugar coach to see if I could get an exception on my no sugar tonight

So I went with the.

For my afters.

Then at the end of the meal Wolfgang Puck came out to the table to check on us @apes2020
I didn’t know who he was

I caught on after a bit. I don’t think I was very friendly. Well he didn’t introduce himself

And he went over to all the other tables. Everyone was taking selfies with him.
Oh well. What the hell. I still got to shake his hand.

That’s a great one!

apes2020 · January 21, 2022, 10:05am

That is so cool!!! How exciting

I didn’t even realise it was your birthday?!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY E!!!

I’m glad you got to spend it with your daughter. The dinner looked beyond amazing. I’m extremely jealous and I’m living vicariously through you OK lol

Really though, I hope you had an amazing time. You deserve all the happiness a man can get

apes2020 · January 21, 2022, 10:07am

and what in the world is a sugar coach my I ask lol?!?

The must have the strength of an army commander to be able to do the job of talking anyone out of consuming sugar products lol

Really I am uncertain if you are joking or not, you do not have a sugar coach do you lol? Or is that Kelly?!

Sandwich of my dreams. I was supposed to make this yesterday and was rushed so ate leftovers instead…then I dreamt about making this sandwich last night! Melty brie on turkey and lots of veg.

Dazercat · January 21, 2022, 10:17pm

Last stop for Courtyard Kitchen.
Another chopped salad for me with an added salmon burger patty.
Kind of a Greek ish salad.

And the Rejuvenator
Beets and OJ and some other stuff I can’t remember.

RosaCanDo · January 21, 2022, 11:48pm

Loaded baked potatoes.

Salty · January 21, 2022, 11:51pm

I haven’t had a baked potato in years. I should get on that! I have a bunch of sweet potatoes to use up too

RosaCanDo · January 21, 2022, 11:53pm

I stood and stared at the sweet potatoes yesterday and probably should have bought some. But the last two I bought shriveled and died in my basement pantry. I’ll try again soon.

Homemade round and square pizza

Shout out to @RosaCanDo for the idea. Peace to All

Happy birthday

That is exactly how I like the pepperoni on my pizza. Then I pick all the pepperoni off and eat them by themselves before eating the pizza. I don’t like pepperoni on my pizza. I just like there to be a hint of pepperoni essence.

Dazercat · January 22, 2022, 4:09am

The last supper
Hillstone of course.
It would have been R and D kitchen their sister restaurant but they don’t take reservations. Friday night. Must have res.

The Hawaiian
Ribeye steak with pineapple-soy-ginger marinade. And a loaded baker.

Thanks for the birthday wishes April. I feel like I wasn’t friendly when Wolfgang stopped by. I had my full Boston defense on. Like who are you? And why you bothering me . Kelly said I was ok.

You’ve seen my no added sugar thread I believe?
I don’t use it much but I’m 162 days without any extra added sugar.

@Its_me_Stella is my no sugar coach. Or more like my referee. Or maybe my sugar advisor. I was going to ask her if birthdays count? But I manned it up and got the cheese plate. But that Apple Tart had me thinking.

Chiron · January 22, 2022, 5:31am

Happy birthday! Aquarius baby huh? Fun Your meal looks delicious. Also, Wolfgang Puck! Awesome!

Dazercat · January 22, 2022, 5:52am

Thanks for the birthday wishes Chiron.
The veal chop was amazing.

That pizza with the pepperonis was pretty dang good too. The first time we got it I thought they burned it. But I guess. As it says on the menu, Crispy Pepperoni. It was really good. And I did eat some of the fallen soldiers by hand.

Beautiful night here for a BBQ. Trying to eat healthier. Chicken thigh with chimichurri was beautiful. Was nice to enjoy without being bloated by alcohol as I would normally be.
