Martinis, Caviar, Tater Tots, Truffle, Pasta
Trisha is in town with us so of course that is the perfect excuse to indulge in our hedonistic tendencies (life is short…carpe diem!). I had previously ordered 300g of Perigord truffles overnighted from Provence and today I had 3 x 100g of different caviar from Imperia caviar. We started with some vodka martinis. The

Kin Khao
A quick early dinner at Kin Khao.

It is the older, but little sister

Foreign Cinema
A rare Tuesday night dinner eating out for us. We decided to go to Foreign Cinema in the Mission which is a a bit of an institution. It gets it’s name since they play a movie projected onto a wall in the dining area. This was definitely not a foreign film and was in fact

Beef Wellington
Andrea made her beef wellington with peppercorn sauce. Always such a treat!
