Weeks 29 & 30 On The Road Again

Things have been quite hectic lately so my apologies for not updating the blog. I've been on the road the past week a mix of both pleasure and business. We'll start with the pleasure. I went back to where I grew up for my high school reunion. It's amazing that it has been 20 years since I graduated, it doesn't seem like it at all. It was great to catch up and reconnect with friends I hadn't seen since graduation. I am totally cheating with my photo for week 29. I didn't actually take it I had a friend take it but I did configure the settings so I am counting it.

After the reunion I was off to Chicago for my company's customer and partner conference. On Monday evening I got to enjoy dinner and drinks at a roof top deck overlooking the city.

Week 28: Food Porn

Saturday night decided to try something completely different for dinner. Original intention was to go to Dahlia Lounge but unfortunately we didn't have reservations it was an hour and half wait for a table and there were no seats at the bar, as a result Dave & I ended up at Lola right across the street. A quick glance at the menu and I noticed the tangine section, I immediately knew what I was getting - Kid Tangine. Yup that's right this dish is made with real kids - goat kids. Goat, turnips and peas absolutely delish. Eating this dish brought back memories of my old tangine, I must buy a new one to use in my new kitchen.

Week 27: Celebration

Cooking for 50 people isn't easy. Cooking for 50 people without a functional kitchen is even harder. I agreed to help a friend with a BBQ on the 4th of July, he has an amazing rooftop deck that looks out over Lake Union and the fireworks. Luckily I was able to borrow a kitchen on Sunday night to cook the pulled pork, went the easy route with the pulled chicken (bought rotissere chicken and pulled it), and used the grill for the rest of the menu. It was a wonderful day and from the looks of it people enjoyed the food.
