Oh and I forgot to mention that I briefly returned to furniture building LOL-
Let's do this in reverse order-
last night we met up with Ron & Mary at Sun Wah a perennial favorite for Peking Duck - we also love their egg rolls, walnut shrimp and beef chow fun with pan fried rice noodles. Service was less than stellar (way less) but the food was good - especially the chow fun of the things we had last night.
the evening went by quickly and capped a fairly long day of paperwork and furniture building LOL- I swear I wouldn't do it again but I did because of space limitations - I need a bathroom cabinet - to sit next to the pedestal sink (which has no place for Phil to put his "stuff" on it LOL)
so here is the result of my handiwork- LOL
oh and due to a delivery snafu when we were out for a business meeting, this week I had to go to UPS to pick up these-
our tickets to the music festival in Coachella CA that we are attending in October- (SEE THEM NOW- while they are still living! LOL)
the night before last we went to the New England Seafood Company (we were longing for Florida food- now having been away for nearly five months) - it was new to us and although the food was sort of hit or miss - we liked it enough to return and it is just down the street from us so that's a plus when deciding last minute - "what do you want to eat for dinner?"
these photos are from the Internet - my phone had been working overtime and stayed home for dinner LOL
service was friendly and timely and the owner stopped by to check up on the meal. Salmon was a tad overcooked but the swordfish part of the mixed grill was very good and the jasmine rice accompaniment just right. Phil had the fisherman's platter and liked it all - my tasting of his food would give a nod to the fish and chips as the cod was excellent and the calamari also was quite crispy and tender... our last minute choice turned out to be a place to return...
the night before that we met up with Mon & Beth at Osteria Langhe - where we had a lot of great food but were in such a dark corner of the restaurant I couldn't get any decent photos without a flash and I find that too annoying to other diners so you will have to deal with only a photo of the wines and my rabbit main-
the wines of the evening- below-the 1993 Brunello di Montalcino and the 1977 port
my coniglio wrapped in pancetta and doused with summer truffles - served over polenta- the plate was absolutely cleaned off- terrific dish!
so I think that brings us back to the prior eating post on terrific Tanta (Tuesday night- alliterative all the way) LOL
so the weekend is now dedicated to catching up on the posts from the Baltic trip- which is quickly receding in our minds- I promised more posts - our next port of call is Gdansk and we have already let the cat out of the bag so here is our top story from Gdansk- in a single photo-
yes that's the two of us with Lech Walesa! so get the whole story on how we ended up in this photo by returning for the trip posts - coming up soon!
