March 6, 2007 – Dinner. It was cold–easily one of the most painful treks I have ever made for grub. It was worth it though.
Appetizer: scallop salad–individually the parts were terrific but together it was even better. Slightly bitter greens, slightly sweet scallops, wrapped in a vinaigrette that I can only describe as noble and elegant.
Main: Tender wasn’t the right word. The duck melted in my mouth. (And such huge portions!) I savored the crispy skin and the yummy spinach (haven’t had spinach in a while).
Dessert: apple crepe. What confused me was this: after I was half-way through my huge crepe, it started tasting even better. But I was fuller! But it tasted more intense and better! So I finished it and stopped thinking about it.
One the way home I almost froze again but I think I’d do it all over in a heartbeat!
