C is for...cooking
Thursday, 9 June 2005
fourth street
chanda & i went to find stonehouse oil today...after 3 times of the railroad thing coming down for no reason we found out it moved to fourth street:P

sooo we went to fourth street & i bought a persian lime & a blood orange olive oil & white balsamic vinegar...they were all so good...chanda got garlic, blood orange, & 2 white balsamics...

i've never splurged so much on just olive oil! haha

their silver medal blend (aka regular..it's a blend of 5 olives) was really really good...i kinda wanted that but i guess it's not necessary to cook w/ oil THAT nice...

Stonehouse Olive Oil

then we went to explore...first to the pasta shop...it's the coolest store!...i thought it was literally just pasta but there was sooo much stuff...there were pastries, yummy looking sandwiches, prosciutto di parma, marzipan, cheeses, salad bar w/ things from frittata to sushi to pasta salads, valrhona chocolate by the pound, etc...

we didn't buy anything though we were tempted...

we decided to go to cafe rouge for lunch because i had heard it was so good & lunch prices were reasonable...it's a very classy but casual restaurant...we took a while to figure out what to order & everyone around us were eating steak but we didn't feel like it...too early...though it was a reasonable price..it was a huge plate w/ steak & fries for $16...we finally decided on soft shell crab sandwich w/ coleslaw & spicy remoulade..& i forgot if they were known for thei chicken at the last minute so i got the spit roasted chicken w/ thyme & lemon & other herbs & roasted potatoes & artichokes....

both were SOOOO good

i thought it was pretty worth it...i wouldn't go often but it was really yum

then we went to sketch (the gelato place) & it was the cutest store EVER...i haven't seen a place that cute in a while...in the back was a huge wooden paddle (you know the kind those cheap sundaes come with to use as a spoon) w/ the name sketch engraved...there were just a bunch of cute things i can't even explain...they even make their own brioche! it's insane...there aren't many flavors & they have granita too...we got the burnt caramel cuz i've read that was really really good...& it was! but i dunno i think i might still like gelateria naia better...

it was fun today..i ate sooo much good food...unbelievable & i hadn't seen chanda in forever! so it was nice
