How is life back home now Neal?

I would rather be in the islands, but back to work as expected. Gearing up for October as it seems we have been slacking all summer.

We did get another set of those bamboo sheets.

I just had a dump that was greenish black. I thought I was bleeding out and had liver failure.

I'm really skeptical they would be cool enough for me, but I might try them some day.

I wish I could see it.

Someday I will visit for Halloween.

BTW Sean, thanks again for recommending BLG. We went there last night.

Meat plate

...only the pork with aspec was good the pig lard roll was not appetizing after the first bite. First this I had there that wasn't brilliant. I was expecting salami, etc. Oh well. Glad I tried, but I shouldn't have cleaned the plate. Last bite was choking it down. I wish it had all been the wonderful meat jello. Wife wouldn't try any, and I didn't expect her to.

She got the pesto with silk scarves. It was brilliant in every way. Then she had the NY strip. Good eats for sure.

I got the egg yolk ravioli with sausage and riccota all blended up. It is the most satisfying single small plate I have ever had in my life. Magic.

I had the urchin with mussels and ink noodles. Good, but I didn't dig in ASAP as my yolkioli was priority. Would have been better piping hot. Solid dish.

The main course for me was salmon with mushrooms and sweet corn. With a sweet corn mash. The mash was not needed as it was perfect without it. Really good.

Thank you for making me able to get out of the olive garden a few more times.

The wife likes them and when I do get to sleep, nothing really bothers me.

I think it looks disgusting.

Some better plating is in order, but from seeing the ingredients I KNOW I want to eat it.

I have had a few beers, maybe I'm getting old and start sharing too much when I drink.

Why would you ingest black ink?

It was an ingredient in my yummy noodles.

Squid ink is yummy

Next adventure I am dancing around is sweetbreads. Makes me a bit nervous.

Fuck, I'll come. I love 'em

[nem 2,019]

Guess I might have to give black ink a try some day.

112 Eatery and Burch Pizza or something like that. I haven't actually been to the latter, but I know a little birdie. 112 is a great light dinner stop.

[nem 2,019]

Maybe something I can try on the next trip to Baltimore.

[///M5 2,833]

Ha, not amazing, but the Foie Gras meatball is a lovely idea.

I have no idea how much it added to the pasta. I also wish the urchin was more prominent. I couldn't really define the flavor.

I don't know what it tastes like as a smell or memory.

Maybe DC is a better choice.
