Even though in this photo it appears that I
just happened to whip up a little
roasted chicken over
risotto for lunch (ha), it's in fact (tasty!) leftovers from last night's...
...lovely Date Night meal at
Cave Vin. No
frites this time (no!), instead I had a delicious
salad,
lightly dressed greens (I very much appreciate that

they know not to soak their
salads in
dressing, if only every restaurant would take their cue), plated with
toasted hazelnuts and
roasted grapes and topped with a bit of
melty goat cheese. I've always liked - but not
loved -goat cheese; but lately, I can't get enough of the stuff. That crisp-white, chalky,
goaty-clean taste, especially warmed, especially against
dark greens, is just heavenly to me. Crave-worthy. I crave
goat cheese. What next? Good Lord.
Anyhow, for an entree, I sank my claws into
chicken again, which sounds dullsville, but I couldn't help myself - the way they stuff
herbs under the
skin and roast it to crispy perfection just
has me, it's ridiculously, simply good.
And oh, half-priced bottles of (seriously nice)
wines on Mondays and Tuesdays do not suck either...
