Since the scotch tasting...I've cooked a bit. Jesse was home for a long weekend and I made chicken meatballs (I don't make them, Costco does) but I made the sauce and etc...The Wisners shared that dinner with us :) The next day for lunch I made French Onion (soup) grilled Cheese: Grilled rye bread with rare roast beef, melted gruyere and caramelized onions with spicy mustard (yum). I also made seafood stew (cioppino) with chorizo, shrimp, scallops and calamari. These are cooked with fennel and celery root in San Marzano tomatoes and white wine (also yum).
Before Jesse left we went out for Chinese (http://www.yelp.com/biz/grand-sichuan-ny-ii-rego-park)
at Grand Sichuan across the Boulevard. We have only ordered in but decided to try it. They love the spicy wontons in red oil (shrimp and pork). We also had soup dumplings (which cannot compare to others, but are fine nontheless). The place got busier and busier as we ate, we had good timing that night. It's good for take out and it's a real eat-in restaurant.
Thursday night, Michael and I went to Jack and Nellie's (thanks Tom and Monica). Yummy as always. Good wine specials, nice beer selection too. We shared: Warm olives with lemon zest; spinach and artichoke dip with crostini; veggie quesadilla and a chicken sandwich with mozz and peppers. Jill and her friends were at the next table :) Fun night.
Tomorrow is the CT Garlic Festival and we are going again with Ryan. Last year was so much fun. Looking forward to it!!
