What should I have for dinner?

[Simfan34]

I was leaning towards the escargots but now I don't know.

[Simfan34]

I'm afraid my desire for the escargots is growing.

In other news, angus is the best.

Golden Corral bacon cheeseburgers with a Diet Coke.

I've given up meat for lent.

[Simfan34]

Then I should rule out Pad Thai, since it can include mammalian flesh. 

gastropods are kosher for you?  If so, I guess that leaves us with snails!  Problem solved.

Not with shrimp! Or just plain.

And indeed, snail is kosher.

I had the Pad Thai, with the some shrimp crepe thing.

Followed by lots of w---, and some cake.

Tonight it's rib eye, rare.  Martinis first though. 

Oh stop it.

Apparently it is "Macaron Day". I plan to take advantage of this.

[Simfan34]

It was my Portuguese friend's birthday yesterday, I feel I should have gotten him some port. A bit cliched, but whatever. Of course there would have been a few... logistical problems.

[Simfan34]

So thankfully, I got the shirts exchanged without much hassle. Sadly, the macarons were terrible and not actually free. They were chewy and hard, I took the first bite and I knew it was all wrong when my teeth were still in the actual macaron, and I had to clamp down. An utter travesty. Sure, I sound like a macaron snob, but I mean they're one of those things you just expect to be completely sublime.

So now I'm out $10 and I think I'm just going to stay home and have rice with spinach stew (which has some... herring? in it). I might go out late though.

On Monday, I went out after seeing a show. And by a show I mean Wozzeck at the Met. We started with some oysters, littlenecks, and cherrystones. I had a lobster roll, although I would have preferred a steak had it not been Lent. Afterwards, I had a cheesecake and some "coffee" (after all, it was St. Patrick's Day and no, oakvale, I did not wear orange). Excellent throughout, and not too badly priced. It also didn't hurt that our waitress was nice to look at. Not bad at all.

[Simfan34]

Well I felt it was a little overacted but otherwise excellent. The atonality wasn't as jarring as it was made out to be. However I absolutely loved the bass with the part of the doctor. I found it a bit darkly comic, in fact. At times not even darkly, with the doctor talking about piss and all. The end, though, could have been lifted from a modern horror film.

[Simfan34]

Thai again, although less authentically. I had a fried striped bass, which is apparently called "pla pad prik". Are you familiar with that, opeb-

Oh, wait.

It wasn't bad, although the base sauce wasn't entirely liked. I'll admit it was meant to approximate another fried fish dish at another restaurant. That I think is sea bass, and it's delicious, but the place is more expensive and nearly an hour away. So we wenr to a place in town. There's always something off about this place. Sometimes it's that the sauce is not my favourite, sometimes the dry noodles leave a lingering taste for days, sometimes the creme brulee is cold. Dessert this time however, was not a matter for complaint, a warm coconut sticky rice confection with mango. Quite like the coconut tapicoca pudding at my second-favorite Thai place in the city.

I had salmon with pesto cream sauce. And biscuits. Lots of biscuits.
