Ravenous Pig was amazing, as always. It was a fixed four course menu, but you got to pick between two options for each course. For a starter, I had a Warm Goat Cheese Salad with beets, grapefruit, pistachios and whatever else. Amazing. The second course was "torched" prawns in an amazing white gravy with fried bread (mini fried croutons). My third course was Prime Filet, served medium rare, with a crazy good white/cream sauce. For dessert, I picked the warm chocolate (of course) banana filled cake. It was unbelievable, and served with homemade ice cream, probably vanilla, but I can't remember.
I've been telling Trippi that we need to go to James' restaruant (he's a high school classmate of ours) when she comes to town. We splurged last night, but Trippi insists that it's the best food she's ever had. That's a dang big compliment! We asked to see James, and after being told by our server that he was too busy, he suprised us with a "hello and nice to see you" chat for a minute or two. Trippi now insists that we go there every time she comes to town. :)
My parents babysat for us last night, and it was very nice of them considering Mom is sick with the same cold that I'm trying to kick. Dad thinks he's coming down with the cold now too, so that's a double whammy. The kids stayed here, and were awesome, staying asleep and not waking us up by throwing up or anything. They also gave me a bit of a present this morning, they slept in until 9. GOOD KIDS. Considering we didn't get to sleep until 3, I was thankful for the extra zzzzs.
We've had a pretty lazy day. I've been home all day with the kids, and Nathan drove to Tampa to see a friend of his. It's going to be a quiet night also, I'm not even sure I'll make it to see 9 PM!
Kona chews a New Year's treat.
