The weekend in *food*

I'm kinda surprised that I don't do that many posts about food anymore. It seems like I'm always eating (yes, it's not helping the figure), you'd think that I'd find time to tell people about how much I actually eat! :-) I think I was inspired by one of Alex's post about all his activities one weekend, so here's my food-focused version I'd like to call 'The weekend in food' (as opposed to the usual 'weekend in pics').

Friday
-Dinner- home cooked meal: pesto cream fettucine with chicken, broccoli, and mushrooms, and my secret-recipe garlic bread. To drink: some random bottle of pinot grigio I found in my pantry.

Saturday
-Lunch- oven-roasted turkey baguette sandwich with brie and cranberry sauce from Mocca. Yes, the lines are long and they only take cash, but this Maiden Lane gem is solid.

-Dinner- aformentioned dinner with Sasank. We ended up going to Chow and scoring a table in minutes thanks to Sasank's brilliant "No Wait List" call-ahead manoeuvre. Spaghetti and meatballs, garlic toast, and topped off with coconut cream pie (me) and pecan pie a la mode (him). Brilliant!

-Post-dinner- Mini bottles of champagne at S.N.O.B., big ass drinks at Vertigo after. Good times had by all. (As per Nina when meeting up with people you don't really like but unfortunately went to college with: "OH MY GOD! I haven't seen you in *so* long! You look GREAT!")

Sunday
-Lunch- zaru soba and ikura-with-quail-egg sushi at my favourite Japanese diner Dojima-Ann

-Dinner- home cooked meal: pan fried fresh-but-still-unidentified-type of fish, tomato & egg, yummy-but-I-don't-know-the-English-name green veggies with garlic, all courtesy of Wayne. To drink: soy bean milk (not that Soy Dream silliness--the real Chinese kind...yah, that's right.)
