thirty seven hour dates are the best!
uh huh.
he made chicken paillard with a brown butter caper sauce and baby creamer potatoes, i brought haricot verts, and endive, upland cress, persian cukes, radish and avocado for a salad. i also picked up a bottle of wine on his recommendation, a rioja called marques de caceres. then these amazing honeycrisp apples and torta gorgonzola that turned out to be bad. the mascarpone was spoiled. i wanted to cry, why didnt i just get the saint agur like i was going to? also a par baked la brea baguette, came out pretty well. the meal was quite good.
in the morning we reheated part of the baguette and scrambled eggs with onions, thyme, rosemary and arbol and i made home fries with the rest of the potatoes. then some bonne maman strawberry jam for the bread with butter, yum! but no ketchup, what is wrong with him? that could be a deal breaker but i think its an honest mistake. :p
yesterday was beautiful so we went to venice beach to watch the freaks. spent some time in one of my favorite bookstores ever, small world books. i got a postcard that says "heterosexuality isn't normal, it's just common." :) it was nice, tho i think ive been much more into used book stores lately. any recommendations in the LA area?
we were going to eat at this tiny vietnamese cafe near where we parked but then they didnt have a bathroom and T touched this metal ball that this black guy covered with gold paint was holding and rolling all over his body and really needed to wash his hands. so we went to the canal club. it was happy hour so we had spring rolls, shrimp empanadas, mini pulled pork sammich, salmon carpaccio with a black pepper ponzu vin, grapefruit supremes, capers and chives, and a 1/2 pound burger with jack cheese, caramelized onions, roasted chili and shoestring fries. and key lime pie for dessert. not bad. we were SO FULL. T also had a large kirin ichiban which ended up being in one of those tall boy beer cans. he wanted to ask the server to take away his glass and bring him a brown paper bag.
weve had some really good conversations and im giddy and confused all at once. still not sure what i want and where it could go, but i guess well see. im going to go see his band play at the pig and whistle on tuesday. what is it with me and drummer boys?
