So school was fun today. We fried stuff. Fried mushrooms with horseradish cream sauce, pan-fried eggplant parmesan, and onion rings with aoli - which was whipped so thick you could hold it in a bowl upside down over your head, like a blizzard. It was all tasty, but all that fried started weighing me down after a while - never thought I'd say those words. (18, 20, 19)
The real story of the day was dinner. We went to Vino Vino, and here's what we had (sorry no pics):
Charcuterie Plate - lamb sausage; pork and chicken galantine; pork terrine; house-made kimchi; whole grain and dijon mustard relish; grape salad; and pickles. Apparently, they change at least one of the (meat) items on this plate DAILY!! WHAT?!??!!? Yea. I'll be returning for that.
Calamari on top of a chorizo tomato sauce.
Gouda cheese plate with shallot confit and lemon.
Peaches mascerated in moscato (that crazy sweet wine I accidentally used a couple weeks ago) with BASIL ICE CREAM!!!! WHAT?!?!?! Yep! Yummy.
All this was enjoyed with a lovely Vin De Pays from France. Overall, a great dinner in a great atmosphere with decent friends - let's see if they read that. Tomorrow, we're braising various veggies. Stay tuned!
