& as i sit here listening to brighter than sunshine i recount my week in food adventures with myself haha & some w/ others:)
i realized i had an amazing week of food
nothing like chez panisse or rivoli but i really enjoyed it all
monday i had leftover pizza from the weekend & although i said it wasn't amazing i decided it was pretty damn good especially for my first time..imagine if i made it all the time! well that wouldn't be too healthy so i'm not about to embark on that but anyways
tuesday i packed food for work...i had broiled salmon w/ steamed bok choy w/ that ginger sesame teriyaki sauce chanda's mom gave me...with rice of course
wednesday i balanced the fatty but delicious duck crepinette with a nice refreshing spinach salad....i think i just tossed it w/ balsamic vinegar...it was delish....i decided i'm a lot more obsessed w/ balsamic vinegar than i remember....i used to like it a lot in the dorms & then i calmed down a bit since living by myself...i should splurge on one of those farmer market ones i bought for chris for myself..those are so freaking good..just imagine a blond balsamic or fig infused one or blood orange oh gawd
thursday i was going to make sushi but then i realized i had no seaweed anyway so i went out w/ chanda to le cheval (we thought it closed) but it was alive & well & i decided i love that place they're sooooo nice & it's so cheap & yummy! & spacious too...she got a vietnamese sandwich & it came w/ a light salad that was so good! i predict the dressing to be of fish sauce & lemon juce....but there was mint in the leaves too....very nice....& i got stuff form the steam table...i really like those garlic green beans:)
friday i had an amazing meal at maggiano's along w/ cheeseboard stuff midday goodness that chocolate loaf is to die for! the chips are melted just the way i like them!...sometimes i can be picky about how my chocolate is in my cake...i'm barely picky about what i eat so i say it's ok....i told chris i just don't like those unmelted ones it's like (in contrast to my description of chocolate covered marshmallows which are "crunch soft") "wax chocolate".....along those lines i hate chocolate chips in my ice cream! it's just hard! & you can't even taste it melt in your mouth...anyways...my point is these are half melted so it's like soft & then melt.....ok most people did not understand that conversation i just had with myself soooo moving on....(oh yea read about maggiano's on my other blog)
yesterday i had cheeseboard bread in the morning & i went with chanda & aaron to the farmer's market & au coqulet (sp) & then chaat cafe & cheeseboard...
farmer's market i bought some spinach & a little bottle of fresh apple cider it was sooo good & then at chaat cafe i got the chicken wrap w/ spicy potato salad good stuff as usual...then i had a slice of pizza at cheeseboard...it had goat cheese on it..my first time having it on pizza! so that was exciting & delish...
today i had the other duck crepinette w/ a more fancy spinach salad...but yea it caused such havoc...i blame the crepinette...it filled my apt w/ smoke cuz of the bad circulation & then i spilled the salad all over myself & the floor when i was eating it....
i really shouldn't cook anymore today
cuz i used a diced tomato can w/ jalepenos in it kinda by mistake in my pasta sauce so now i have mexican tasting pasta sauce...it's kinda weird...
oy....go me
