This is going to be quick as I have to hit the shower and be out of the house by 7:45 for a breakfast date with a friend. I have been so looking forward to seeing her.
We did have an amazing night last night. A once in a lifetime type food. Since the banning of foie gras in our lovely state about six months ago, it has not been offered in any restaurant. It was suddenly illegal to serve. Our friend bought a duck liver and froze it before the ban. Wednesday, he defrosted it and gave it to the chef of a restaurant where he cleaned it, seared it and served huge portions to us last night. It was delicious and very rich.
They also served Kobe beef tartar, escargot, bone marrow and beet salad. I had two escargot and two small pieces of the beet salad. It was excellent.
Then the main courses served with a slab of seared foie gras: I had fish in a ginger sauce, Michael had the short ribs, others had duck confit and steak. It was delicious but I took much of ours home with us. Dinner tonight!
Then, there were three desserts served to share.
Lots of conversation and laughs and we felt very grown up being out in the city on a Thursday night. We climbed into bed at 12:45 and up at 6:00. We are going to be dragging today. After the breakfast date, I am meeting mom for a hello and should be home early this afternoon. Early enough for a much needed nap.
