a chicken in every pot




Just in case you wanted to see pictures of that chicken from the other night. On top there is the tuna curry crepe, which was pretty good but was much more eggy and less crispy than the one in Japan, so I need to keep trying. I know my crepes were not thin enough. I can't believe how fun it is to make crepes!
I'm going to the special Waterboy dinner tonight and I'm stoked! Here's the menu:
April 19th, 2007
House Smoked Tofino Inlet Salmon and Marinated Monterey Squid with Baby beets, Artichokes, Fava Beans & Crème Fraiche
Saffron Risotto with Polpettini of Veal Sweetbreads with Porcini Mushrooms & Tomato-Rosemary Sauce
Crispy Muscovy Duck Leg Confit with Celery Root Remoulade, Watercress, Sautéed Potatoes & Zinfandel-Black Pepper Sauce
Buttermilk Sorbet with a Crispy Butter Cookie & Brandied Cherries
sweetbreads!
I checked out that newish wine bar The Grand (on 16th and L) the other day. Man, is it small! It seems all right. I couldn't really get a sense of the normal prices and selection because we got there on a monday at 530 and were the only people and the owner didn't give us any type of printed menu or list. He seemed to still be deciding what he would be serving that night. We got two ok glasses of white for like 7 bucks each. Nothing mind blowing. His beer selection sucks, of course.

am I the only one who finds the news and review website redesign to be confusing? i think the archival stuff is too intertwined with the new edition. I can't figure out what KW reviewed this week.

Love the chicken pic on the bottom!

Yikers, Beckler. And you got tired of looking at Yakim Smirnoff. I'd say the same for that poor yardbird.

After looking at these pictures, it's not much of a wonder that Hoover lost the election using that line.

are there any ingredients you need but can't get your hands on?
