yummy chow
So tonight we ate at this place, and it was fan-tas-tic. I had duck confit with fig sauce, soft polenta, and grilled greenery. The greenery was the only un-tasty part. Can't say I care much for charred lettuces...
P had lamb shanks, which came with a great big bone that we brought home for Mabel. The bone was so huge it reminded me of an illustration in a children's book of poems I used to have, specifically, "Taffy was a Welshman. Taffy was a thief..." Remember this one? At the end, Taffy steals a marrow bone, but the victim accosts a sleeping Taffy at home and whacks him on the head with it.
H had chicken with roasted garlic mashies, and assorted veggies. All in all, yummy chow. I washed mine down with a merlot, thinking all the while of Paul Giamatti's character in Sideways.

It rained tonight, dropping the temperature nearly 20 degrees. The streets were beautiful, all steamy and shiny.
