Waterzooi

Waterzooi (www.waterzooi.com) is a Belgian bistro in Garden City.  Michael and I were there last Friday night.  Monday nights they have a 3 course dinner matched with 3 Belgian beers.  They also have 22 Belgians on tap!  We had lobster bisque (great, but needed a touch of sherry), French onion soup (very good), double cut bbq pork chops with shrimp mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus (very yummy) and lobster risotto with leeks and corn (could have used a touch of sherry also).  Michael had 2 different beers he liked very much and I had 2 glasses of Cabernet and I liked neither of them (I guess I'll have beer next time).  Their dessert menu looks great too, even though we were too stuffed.   It is a bit loud (actually really loud) and that would be the only draw back.  They have tons of mussel flavors to choose from, and although we don't eat mussels, we thought we'd go back with people who do so we could taste all the different sauces.  Also on the menu are typical fare such a steak frite and Belgian waffles.

Jesse is home and so far he's cooked for himself a few times :) outside on the bbq.  I made him a pot of pasta fagioli, chicken cutlets and lobster tails.  Tonight is brined pork chops on the grill with tomato and mozzarella salad and fried potatoes and onions (like home fries).

I am looking forward to a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend!
