Once upon a time...
It was the most enjoyable dinner I’ve had in a long while. Jerm & I went to Wild Rocket for dinner last night at my suggestion. Have heard much about it from
princessyen who had her birthday brunch there this year (but which I didn’t make it back in time for cuz I was still gallivanting in NYC) :p
The food was great! My lamb shank came right off the bone and the accompanying potato salad was yummy! Jerm’s sea bass was pretty good too, though he didn’t quite dig the potato with tomato sauce mash.
Dessert worked out nicely for us cuz I got to try both the Strawberry Cheesecake (came in a martini glass with marscapone cheese, strawberries and ice cream), while I ordered the Warm Lava Cake. He’s always dug strawberry while I’ve sworn my allegiance to chocolate (EVEN THOUGH I was feeling OD-ed on Muddy Mud Pie from Coffee Club the night before and the Famous Amos’ No Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies I had for breakfast that morning) :S
We initially wanted to order a bottle of the Jewel Pinot Noir but they were out of it, so we settled for a bottle of red wine from Tuscany. Can’t remember the fancy Italian name, but it was pretty good.
There were no pretensions; no pressure of having to impress. But neither was it pitter-patter-goes-my-heart-exciting. Just mellow conversation, a good catch up, and the comfortable silences.
