As we wait out the election—and our disappointment in the electorate’s choice of Senators—seems like a good time for me to give you pix of the takeout meals I ate last week.
Sushi, from Yoko Sushi:
Entrecôte au poivre, from Café Montmartre:
Scampi, from Gregorio’s Trattoria:
(This was the biggest disappointment of the week; not nearly enough garlic and the linguine was decidedly meh. How meh, you inquire? This meh: I put the leftover linguine out on the patio on Sunday, and neither the birds nor the squirrels would touch it. Some critter in the night took it, so possibly a hit with raccoons, possums or skunks.)
Persian lamb, from Rose Restaurant:
(That was two meals’ worth. Every bite lovely. Their baklava, however; meh.)
Roast chicken with thick-cut bacon and mushrooms, from Mon Ami Gabi:
(It was okay; the mushrooms were the best part. I added the broccolini. And their chocolate mousse might have been fine except I’d had Café M’s only a few days earlier.)
Friday I made my usual pizza bianca insalata; no pic. Saturday was left over chicken. And I am inexplicably unable to show you Sunday’s seared salmon from Cooper’s Hawk. It was absolutely delicious, so clearly I’ll have to get it another night and take a photo for you.
I also made a point of having breakfast at the dining table, as opposed to in front of a screen. The pain au chocolate is a bake-yourself from Trader Joe; I made café au lait to go with it. As is my custom when traveling, I used that time to add to my journal. My last entry prior to last week was 12 March, the day before I started WFH. I had a lot to catch up on.
Sorry all I can share with you is the photos.
Many of these meals were absolutely top notch; they would have improved for me
having someone to join me. Maybe on my next vacation?
