<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next was T's surprise 2nd course, which was my favorite of the entire night. Again, I couldn't tell you what it was, especially since it's now been over a month since I was there, but it was a delicious halibut with soft noodles and black olives.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">T then had another mystery dish, an asian salad topping a fresh hunk of salmon, again good, but nothing close to how perfect the previous dish was.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As an entree I had the fresh Alaskan salmon with lemon spaetzle, corn, english peas, and a fireweed honey glaze. I had no problem finishing this entire dish, with the soft and light spaetzle pairing perfectly with the crispy top of the salmon and the crunch of the peas. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">T had a delicious chicken entree wrapped in a pork belly, which was absolutely perfectly paired...and some mystery sides, of course. He also had a wagyu beef course, which was eaten to quickly to document, but was as tender as could be and had punches of flavor, unsurprisingly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I went with the beignets with vanilla bean, a rum caramel sauce, and a banana cardamom gelato. I was so excited, I <i>love</i> the sugary pillowy goodness of beignets, but I was <i>so</i> sad when this arrived. They were dense pillows with lackluster sugar and a sauce that was overpoweringly rum with not even a slight glimmer of caramel. On the other hand, the banana cardamom gelato was deliciously creamy and a refreshing hit of banana.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Luckily, we caught some salmon, and our guide was nice enough to freshly grill some up right on the boat! Sadly, I'll never be able to eat non-fresh salmon again, because I have been absolutely spoiled by the fresh-out-of-the-water salmon which tasted nothing like the salmon I had ever had before. Now, all salmon tastes fishy to me, even the non-fishy ones, which is really too bad!</span></div>

When Mark picked us up, he told us it'd be better worth our time to go to a smaller space where the professional photographers <i>in-the-know</i> were going, so we trusted him and headed off. We left Anchorage for Lake Clark National Park in Cook Inlet to the <a href="http://www.silversalmoncreek.com/" target="_blank">Silver Salmon Creek Lodge.</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We trudged through the tall grass, following each move our guide made, holding our breaths out of fear. Is he really going even <i>closer</i> to that massive animal? Do <i>I </i>have to follow him and <i>also</i> go this close?! We closed our eyes and followed, and thank goodness we did. We were immersed in this close behavior for two days, feeling close to nature and having even more of an adrenaline rush than the time T and I tried sky-diving.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sadly, our time had come to a close, and we had to say our goodbyes. I was hoping to be left behind, as I could actually live there forever, as could T, but we were found and dragged back to the plane. We headed out to find one of the bajillion (an almost-factual statistic) lakes and ponds in the area to land wherever we wanted and do some fishing before heading back to the real-world in Anchorage.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We continue to talk about how the highlight of the entire trip to Alaska was the couple of days we spent with Mark from Air Madura, and everyone at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, from the owners David and Joanne, and David's son Oliver to the beyond-interesting chef and all of the staff. We immediately felt like we had been visiting for every year for our entire lives. Such warmth and happiness was felt on every inch of the area and it was contagious. I cannot recommend enough a trip out to see them, and the bears, or even just for some remote relaxation. Of note, don't be alarmed if you are the <i>only</i> non-professional photographer there. We sat with many highly-respected photographers that were surprised to hear that we were not there for our profession, and were very curious as to how we even had found Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, but remained some of the nicest and modest people I have met. </span>Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02300276610268449082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715943740332965509.post-46826084968661014722013-09-02T15:14:00.001-07:002013-09-02T15:15:47.481-07:00anchorage: kincaid grill<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The one night we were in Anchorage, we stopped in at the <a href="http://www.kincaidgrill.com/" target="_blank">Kincaid Grill</a>. We pulled up to the restaurant and looked at each other a bit hesitant...we had arrived, but it was a corner spot with a large purple sign in a strip mall-looking environment. Ehh? Were we in the wrong place? Nope. We were correct, so in we headed...and thank goodness we did. With a clean crisp interior, the atmosphere inside was completely unexpected from the outside.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">T started with the pork belly with pickled cabbage, topped with polenta croquettes, and a pinot reduction scattered with scallions. Delicious and perfectly balanced with a range of textures, this was T's favorite dish of the night.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My father, a fellow crab-lover, didn't even lift his head to try more than a bite of ours as he was too invested in his own dish, which he again claimed was the best of the night: the cioppino with crab merus, shrimp, scallops and fin fish in a light tomato fume. A large enough portion for 2 or 3, he made a large dent due to the deliciousness but was ultimately defeated. </span></div>

With hand-picked king crab meat, red pepper, onion, celery, herbs, old bay seasonings, bread crumbs, lemon, local microgreens and a lemon dill aioli. <i>Sadly</i>, the cakes were far too dry and dense, with no sense of the fresh crab able to shine through. On the other hand, the lemon dill aioli was <i>delicious</i>, and I was able to coat the dry bits of the cakes in the deliciously bright aioli.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The big winner of the night was the tender Alaskan king crab sauteed with leeks, cayenne and fresh dill, folded into housemade lemon pasta, carrot buerre monter, and sugar snap peas. Unlike the crab cakes, the crab was unbelievably fresh, soft, and unbelievably delicious. This dish was perfectly soft, immediately melting in your mouth while bursting with a wide range of complimentary flavors. I'm still salivating about it despite the fact that it has been over a month since I was able to enjoy this dish!</span></div>

Although the flavors were nice, the meat was a bit dry, taking away from the whole dish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My father went with one of his favorite dishes he's ever experienced, and he still doesn't stop mentioning it to this day: fresh wild Alaskan halibut pan seared in soy butter and served on a bed of soba noodles, a lemongrass ginger crab broth, bok choi and napa cabbage, snow peas, and topped with crisped bean thread noodles. In short, he was very proud of his choice and continued to claim that he won the best dish of the night award.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The important closer of the night was the vast and decadent dessert menu. You are able to either choose of the mouth-watering pastries and tarts in the front of the restaurant, winking at you throughout your dinner from behind a glass, or you may choose one of the massive and delicious dishes from this long list. We went with the 229 Parks ice cream sandwich; house-made vanilla bean ice cream smooshed between two dark chocolate cookies and a dark chocolate sauce with a raspberry sauce peeking out underneath. I could eat those two dark chocolate cookies everyday, if only I had the recipe! It tasted just like a non-artificial massive oreo ice cream sandwich...also known as perfection. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After a delicious meal in a very relaxed setting we agreed it was worth the $80 round-trip taxi, and we agreed that the fresh lightly prepared seafood dishes were the best of the night, and the dessert was not to be missed. Finally, we rolled our way out of the restaurant to rest before our big trip to Anchorage the next morning!</span> </div>

Don't worry, they are mostly domesticated caribou and it's just like eating any other sort of farmed animal, no Rudolphs were harmed in the making of any of these products (as my mother asked every single time).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Let's be honest, "The Battle Between Fashion & Domestication" was a super title, and rhymed which is awesome, but was <i>more</i> than a mouthful! To make it easier for everyone I shortened the title to two things I <i><b>loved</b></i> when I was little (and continue to love to this day): parsley and polka dots.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>PARSLEY: </b>When I was little, no one explained to me the fact that parsley was mostly used as a garnish. At large family gatherings I would collect the parsley off of every single person's plate, pile all of the bits on the plate, and go to town nibbling away. Some would giggle, some would give me an endearing smile, and I was just confused about why I was getting this extra attention, <i>can't they see I'm eating here</i>? Finally, someone must have spilled the beans to me, because one day I stopped snacking on parsley. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>POLKA DOTS: </b>Another young-love of mine was polka dots. Raised by a mother that idolized Betsey Johnson's zany style, I grew up in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">polka dotted-leggings,</span> fancy dresses, glitter shoes, and cowboy boots. Throughout the years she has continued to try to push some polka dotted-articles of clothing on me, I went through my fair share of white heels with rainbow polka dots, polka-dotted hair-bows, jewelry, and just about every other accessory, but have learned that polka dots have their place and their time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's the little things in life or the garnish, like parsley and polka dots, that add a little flair to the ordinary. </span></div>

This recipe cuts back on a handful of mayo, discards most of the egg yolks, and adds a twist with the green onions to amp up the flavors. For hard-boiled egg haters-- just give it a chance!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. Meanwhile, cook onions in some olive olive in a smaller pan until soft and translucent, about 7 minutes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">4. When the timers are done, strain and wipe off as much oil as possible from both the potatoes & the onions, you can reserve the olive oil for the next step rather than using even more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">5. Add 1 tbs of olive oil back into the large nonstick pan and heat over medium heat. While the oil is heating, crack and whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add in the potato & onion mixture and top with a sprinkling of salt. Mix thoroughly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">6. Add egg, potato, and onion mixture to the warmed pan. Lower heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes, until browned and crisped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">7. Place a large plate or a cutting board over the pan and flip before returning it to the pan. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the other side.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">8. Remove from heat, slide it out of the pan, and let it cool for about 4 minutes before slicing into portions for serving.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This week T & I went to a Brasstacks dinner, knowing it would be recorded for Canada's Travel+Escape channel's new series "Illegal Eater", premiering this fall. According to the IMDB page, the series follows Barenaked Ladies' front man, Steven Page "as he embarks on a journey to uncover some of the tastiest,
creative, illegal food in a city's unlicensed - secret - underground
venues. It's in these places where the food is always fresh, local, and
the experience is completely authentic." We arrived to the dinner, which was set at <a href="http://molltk3.blogspot.com/2012/09/bondir.html" target="_blank">Bondir</a>, and were shocked to see we were two of only twelve seats set. It was truly a delicious & personal dinner, per usual for Brasstacks, and we were lucky enough to be seated at a table of six with Bondir's chef/owner Jason Bond. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To continue our support of the Gilson family, T & I went to Puritan & Company on Saturday night. Opening in 2012 in Inman Square of Cambridge, Puritan & Company has already been nominated for a James Beard award for Best New Restaurant. Will Gilson creates an ever-changing menu with local & seasonal ingredients, resulting in deliciously clean dishes being swept out of the kitchen. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On our way to dinner, I checked their website to peruse the menu and found Marc Sheehan, of <a href="http://molltk3.blogspot.com/2012/09/brasstacks-dinner_27.html" target="_blank">Brasstacks</a>, was the sous chef! Shocked, we stepped on the gas pedal with a sense of urgency and hustled to our reservation. With high expectations we were a bit nervous, but </span>I can honestly say that both T & I loved each and every dish we had, and Puritan & Company has shot up to being somewhere in our top 2 favorite spots (and we already have made another reservation for July).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Having eaten at Gilson's family's Herb Lyceum the evening before, we couldn't help but draw parallels between the two spots. With the cool neutral colors with the trim of white, cabinets, and rustic tables, we felt as though we were visiting a friend in their old study of their old home. A warmth radiated in every corner of this little gem. With many small tables, 7 seats at a prep station near the kitchen, and one long table where multiple groups were placed (like the evening prior at the Herb Lyceum), there was a constant buzz of energy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next T had ordered the lamb belly with eggplant, orange, and moxie. I was raised not eating veal, lamb, or any other baby animal, and I'm sorry, Mom, but I have to admit that this was <i>delicious</i>. Crispy on top and tender on the inside, lean, and packed with flavor, this is a dish I could actually order myself...and not really feel too badly about it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To start I ordered the local vegetables, which I imaged to be some sort of a roasted vegetable dish with potatoes, carrots, and hearty veggies, but was pleasantly surprised to see a local salad of sunchokes, peas, pickled carrots, farmer's cheese and a delicious slew of mystery veggies. I <i>hate</i> salads, and I could probably eat this every day it was the <i>perfect</i> combination of veggies.</span></div>

<span class="menu-item-name"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The moment I saw chicken on the menu, I obviously had to give it a shot, since my rule is if a restaurant has chicken on the menu, it better be the best chicken I've ever had and a chicken that I couldn't make myself at home. Yep, this was my favorite chicken I've encountered. I love this chicken, and I've had a lot of chicken. A dish full of free-range chicken, fingerlings, and a few browned brussel sprouts, I was in heaven. With crisp skin, succulent chicken, and the best fingerlings I've ever had, I was a happy customer.</span> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">T went with a massive portion of wagyu steak with pommes ana, a browned brussel sprout, delicately caramelized carrots, and an egg sauce. Between happy "oh man"s, I was able to sneak a carrot, a piece of steak, and a bit of the potatoes. Everything was prepared perfectly, and T was especially impressed with the potatoes which he compared to a crisped hashbrown.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At this point we were full, but never too full for dessert. We ordered a dessert which I can't remember the specifics of (sorry, but true) but it was lemon curd with bites of pistachio and earthly flowery flavors along with an ice of sorts. Nevertheless, I whole-heartedly recommend this light refreshing palate-cleansing finale. With the texture and taste of the lemon reminiscent of a key lime pie (despite the fact that it looks like deviled-egg fillings), we weren't pushed over the too-full-level, and were able to leave happy as clams with stomachs full of delicious combinations. </span></div>

Arriving with our own wine selections at 7:15pm, we enjoyed a nice glass of wine under the sweeping branches of the hickory tree while basking in the beautiful weather.</span></div>

With all locally-sourced ingredients (mostly from on-site when possible) and thoughtfully crafted dishes, this experience is a real steal at only $60 per person, despite the fact that the whole experience lasted 3.5 hours. </span></div>

You can find the blend in some specialty shops, online, or you can make your own (<a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/zaatar-recipe.html" target="_blank">recipe</a>). This recipe uses corn flakes as a crispy shell, one of my favorite coatings, and peppers as a base of the baking to infuse the sweet and spicy flavors into the chicken.</span><br />

Eventually the heat will ignite the rum, let burn down with the hood on to cook off the rum and fully mix all components.</span><br />

A Barcelona-style tapas restaurant featuring locally sourced ingredients in the South End, Toro has been met with critical acclaim, and a large fan-base. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have had Toro on my go-to list for a while now, but with no reservations being accepted, and three-hour waits being known on the weekends for dinner, I thought I would never find the time. One day after work I ran over to be there for their 5pm opening, figuring I would be seated immediately and guaranteed a spot! I was met with about 30 other people that had the exact same idea. Shocked, I added my name to the list, and sat at the bar while waiting for a table. I enjoyed a cocktail (the Briarpatch made with housemade raspberry vodka, rhubarb and lime), which was a bit sweet for me (but I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to sugary cocktails). A few minutes later we were seated at a tall table with stools, and by the time we were seated almost all of the tables had already been spoken for. I was amazed, and even more excited for the food with all of this popularity.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next was the dish I thought would be the healthiest and lightest dish of the night, the gambas al ajillo: griddled garlic shrimp with cascabal chilies. I wasn't expecting a thick sauce nor a heap of saffron, and was looking forward to a punch of garlic, but was so sad when these didn't work out. I couldn't taste any garlic, nor any chilies, but rather just tasted an overpowering saffron.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Half of the table, myself included (obviously), shared the asado de huesos: roasted bone marrow with radish citrus salad and oxtail marmalade. This was my friend's first time experiencing bone marrow, which he concluded tastes like "butter, but on crack". Valid comparison. This dish ended up being my second favorite of the night, but mostly because of the perfect oxtail marmalade, which was just sinfully delicious.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our second to last course was the costilla de buey: kabayaki glazed short ribs with chilled farro, cucumbers, radish and hazelnuts. While ordering, this was the one dish I was most excited for, but sadly it was not my favorite. Although the meat was perfectly prepared and tasted like soft beef stew in each bite, the glaze overpowered the cucumber, radish, and hazelnut taste, and we were left with only a pinch of a hit of salt as a finishing taste.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our final dish were the famous house special maiz asado con aioli y queso cotija: grilled corn with aioli, lime, espelette pepper and aged cheese. Dining with a Texan, he did not seem fazed by the layers of heaviness propped on this special. On the other hand, the Northeasterns were quite intimidated, used to our steamed fresh corn with a sprinkling of salt and a light slather of butter, this was quite different. With the charred bits tasting of popcorn, the taste was there, but this was the heaviest vegetable I've ever eaten. Also, this was the ugliest dish to eat, as we were left wiping slathered aioli off our faces, not so cute.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Although full at this point, we asked to just see the desserts, but the menu is verbal and consists of cheese or <span style="font-size: x-small;">CHURROS. <i><span style="font-size: small;">Obviously</span></i><span style="font-size: small;"> we had to say <b>yes</b> to churros...I mean, really, who says no to churros? Doused in cinnamon-sugar and served with a thick chocolate sauce, this dessert was just the heavy cherry on top of the heavy dinner we had just ingested. The choice to get churros was definitely our fault, and I take responsibility for that fault.</span></span></span><br />

A<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">s we rolled our way out of the restaurant, we compared dishes. Some preferred the empanadas, we all agreed on the tortilla espanola, and we disagreed on the corn. In the end, I was a bit let down, and so torn. I had such high expectations, and there were definitely some shining dishes (oxtail marmalade, yes please), but we all left <i>so</i> uncomfortable after eating such heavy dishes (with so many including aioli), that I'm not sure if I will return. If I do go back, I will definitely be ordering more off of the left side of the menu, the smaller bites, and the cold dishes, to attempt to try some lighter dishes they offer.</span><br />

I also just haven't really been in an "I-really-want-the-heaviest-meal-possible-right-now" kind of a mood, ya know? I decided to take on this shepherd's pie, but with healthy twists, of course. I swapped the mixed meats for lean ground turkey, made my mashed potatoes with skim milk and a light butter, and added as many vegetables as possible to help health-it-up. With a smaller potato-to-meat ratio than normal, it turned out perfectly balanced, delicious, and healthier! Perhaps I'll have to change this name to something more turkey friendly...maybe to farmer's pie?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">...but after feeling a bit under the weather from the terrible weather of Saturday, we skipped out early to enjoy a warm dinner at Grotto before heading home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Recently I've been on a big grilling kick...with the weather being beautiful, and the grill taking 5 minutes to warm up, and only 10 minutes to cook the chicken, it is the perfect way to cook anything! My actual favorite reason to grill is because no matter what you marinate your meat in, it will be perfect. I've really thrown some strange things together over time, and each time it's more delicious than the past. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My newest creation was the "pantry chicken" drizzled with honey, brown sugar, ketchup, sesame oil, soy sauce, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper then topped with sesame seeds, it marinates for 1 hour before being cooked on each side for about 5 minutes each.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We decided to split three meze courses and have an entree each. The first 6 meze course on the menu are more of spreads and small snacks, while the rest range from a shared app to a full app. We started with the spicy fideos & chicken peas with green chard and orange aioli. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I <i>love</i> spice, so I was excited, but sadly it wasn't spicy at all, and I also didn't taste any orange in the smear of aioli, <b>but</b> I did enjoy the dish as it was light and a good start.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Next we had the spinach falafel with tahini, yogurt, beets & crinkled cress.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This meze course was both T and my favorite dish of the whole night. Light, fluffy, and <u>not</u> even a bit dry, the spinach falafel was delicious, and especially perfect paired with the beets and the pickles on the side.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our final meze course was the one I was most excited for. As you may know I <i>love</i> octopus, and feel a need to order it everywhere it is offered to get my fill. This dish seemed so perfect for me, grilled octopus carpaccio with spring pea, pepper & a spicy olive salad.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJMT0m1z7VMqa52Fqh65wqApBK1cmPA25p5_hP7J4nw4aql6IkawOTPGqWeqGHbl6kKGOUUKcWYqrcDv-zpumKqm4vGY8vrnMbkxA4-1bkciag1hkSUHJCiKgfMYSdPwES9StR4NfR_eE/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJMT0m1z7VMqa52Fqh65wqApBK1cmPA25p5_hP7J4nw4aql6IkawOTPGqWeqGHbl6kKGOUUKcWYqrcDv-zpumKqm4vGY8vrnMbkxA4-1bkciag1hkSUHJCiKgfMYSdPwES9StR4NfR_eE/s1600/5.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It was fine. That's it, just fine. I knew I had high hopes, but I was so disappointed. The octopus was <i>not</i> carpaccio, rather they were large chunks. The spring peas were delicious, but the "spicy olive salad" was not even close to a hint of spicy. There was a nicely crisped toast-like cracker under the components, which was a great touch, but the rest of the dish was just fine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For my entree I went with the flattened lemon chicken with za'atar & a Turkish cheese pancake, one of their most famous dishes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Oh, you can't see this picture? Me neither, because I couldn't see my food at this point. Right before our entrees the lights went low low low and we had to squint to see our food. Nevertheless, I could feel I was eating on a sort of platter, which made me feel like I was at Medieval Times or in Game of Thrones, which was exciting. The chicken was delicious, and well-prepared. Not overly lemony, a large portion, and a nice combination with the pancake, my only complaint was the fact that the cheese pancake was almost <i>too</i> cheesy, as I felt the cheese of choice overpowered the delicate lemony chicken flavor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">T on the other hand went with the tamarack tunis lamb with Turkish spices, pita & everything green with garlic & yogurt. </span> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He was in love. The dish was like a deconstructed gyro, with perfectly balanced & prepared components. The lamb was ground and made into a sausage before being grilled, which made it quite moist and "uh-mazing" (in the words of T).</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For dessert we opted to split the chocolate hazelnut nightingale's nest with chocolate truffle & a fig leaf ice cream.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3rhGztdysLLZDYgiUNWQau4vm2_zMHDE0PFdYIiW-gf1trEzNeMa7Thrj58ZTNPrgyxUK8VU3ENXMDoslBqyUI8DgpDvRd4nwq8XejU0VL0Wfy-9Oc2KCPFOVtBaQvRXW79Gz0OvCkA/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3rhGztdysLLZDYgiUNWQau4vm2_zMHDE0PFdYIiW-gf1trEzNeMa7Thrj58ZTNPrgyxUK8VU3ENXMDoslBqyUI8DgpDvRd4nwq8XejU0VL0Wfy-9Oc2KCPFOVtBaQvRXW79Gz0OvCkA/s1600/12.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Perfectly portioned for our needs, the salt of the hazelnuts played well with the nest and truffle, and was overall a great dessert. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After a quick tea from their expensive coffee and tea menu, we headed out, but not before checking out the neat little bathrooms. With mirrored tiles mixed in with regular tiles, it's a nice surprise!</span></div>

A<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fter a long week of work, Friday night consisted of whipping the grill out of the basement and grilling up some BBQ chicken, having the best potato salad in the world (which I forgot to document, so I guess I'll just <i>have</i> to re-make it so I can share it with you!), and the <a href="http://molltk3.blogspot.com/2013/05/early-summer-brussel-sprouts-corn.html" target="_blank">brussel sprout and corn</a> recipe I made a few days ago before relaxing in front of our new outdoor fireplace with some s'mores.</span></div>

I also made some pretty darn tasty twice-baked bahdaydahs. Potatoes really aren't unhealthy, as long as you don't douse them in sour cream, bacon, and butter, you're just eating a starchy veggie that won't kill your diet. Twice-baked potatoes are usually just saved for holidays, but I think that's a waste. These potatoes, along with these darn-good recipe for chicken, make a tasty & filling meal, and look a lot more difficult than they really are, but we can keep that part a secret.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. Poke some small holes in your potatoes (fork them maybe 2x each), and pop those into the oven as well. After about 50 minutes, when the skins are crispy and the insides are a little squishy, remove the potatoes and let cool before handling (of note: this step can be done before all of the other steps, you could pre-bake your potatoes to help with time-management).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">4. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, scoop the insides out into a bowl. Mix in the milk, butter, salt & pepper and beat until smooth. Return the mixture to the potato shells, top with shredded cheese and bake at 375F for 20 minutes, until bubbly and crisp.</span><br />
