Mmmmmm…… Hamachi Kama. Tonight we hit up CoCo Asian Bistro for a farewell dinner for a dear friend. He is moving away for awhile and although I know we will most likely always keep in touch, he will still be missed. And yes, I’m pouting about it, so there, J ;p Come back unless you find your dreams.
Counter seating at my favorite lunch sandwich spot: Yiya’s Bakery.
At the gym.
Stone pagoda at Tokyo Bowl, which has turned into our Monday night healthy restaurant go to spot.
We had one of our new friends we met through the Shoot Miami Meetup group over for a collaborative dinner.
The Spread
Apps
Home made duck prosciutto (more on that soon… I made it as part of Charcutepalooza and suffice it to say, it was a huge hit)
Bacon jam (made with my very own home made bacon, no less)
Goat cheese
Slow roasted tomato jam (also coming soon. I’m a bit behind) served with toasted flour tortilla chips.
Mains
Chris’s fantabulous grits with a slow-cooked ragout of mini sweet peppers, white onions and chipotle topped with batons of home made bacon
Kevin’s awesome lamb stuffed with herbs & garlic with a garlicky tzatziki sauce
Pitas & sundried tomato tortillas for wrap making
The meal was a complete success and I predict this is just the first of many future collaborations. 🙂
Awesome chandelier at Rocco’s Tacos in Fort Lauderdale.
Night palm outside the Sunrise Cinema after seeing The Adjustment Bureau. Good movie. Think Dark City meets love story meets existential crisis. I forgot how good of an actor Matt Damon actually is.
The start of a pretty yummy creation: butternut squash, spinach & Italian sausage with carraway seeds & crushed red pepper.
Perhaps my favorite way of preparing cruciferous vegetables: broiled. Mmmmm… nutty goodness.
Ah, the gym, how I’ve (kinda) missed thee, my old “friend.” Just like I left you–in the basement & empty.
