I'm not doing too well on the eating salad every day thing, so I am going to go to the supermarket and buy myself a range of tasty salad fixin's so that I can have 'em for lunch next week.
This morning I dreamed at length about buying shaved ham. Lee wanted me to get 'hairy ham' but I thought it sounded gross.
Lee and I had lunch at Mt Fuji last Monday, which is a Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant that I can see from the lounge. We had never really realised it was there but then I got to thinking that they may do okonomiyaki and takoyaki so I took Lee out for dinner. They didn't do either of those things, but they gave us delicious salad, miso, fried fish and teriyaki chicken and tempura vegetables. Nom nom nom.
On Wednesday after swing dancing we went to the Wine Library in Edward St, which as I mentioned was very good. We had a set menu of antipasto and super long breadsticks to start with. Lee and I are teh class and ordered coronas to drink. Oh yeah. So much fancy wine and we go with Mexican beer, whatever we were hot and thirsty! Lee's workmate's parents were down with it though, they were all like 'be yourself'. Hummm...tangent.
So after the antipasto platters it was an entree of stuff wrapped in eggplant. Rocket and feta wrapped in eggplant. I didn't dig it so much, I mean I like feta, but the rocket was all stringy and weird and the eggplant meat was nice but the texture of the outer skin when it's cut so thin was ookie.
For main we could choose between chicken and lamb so I went with lamb because the chicken came with semolina gnocchi which didn't thrill me. The lamb was little wee racks of lamb on wilted spinach and very very good. I love fancy lamb, it's all rare and melty and yum. Watch how I could never be a vegetarian!
To finish up we were served amaretto creme brulee and can I just say: It is worth the price of admission! In fact I just realised that there isn't enough creme brulee in my life and I should do my best to locate all the good creme brulee in Wellington. This I will do for you, my loyal readers. It will be a sacrifice, yes, but I think it will be worth it.
The amaretto creme brulee was a bit burnedy on top but it was so yum. So so good, the almond flavour was subtle enough that the essential creme brulee flavour still came through and the texture was just perfect.....man I want some more.
PoF: cutest sith lord ever.
CO: uh, clearly creme brulee.
