Pictures from Tuesday night’s show.
I had the day off today because my boss left to go out of town. Lucky girl has an all expenses paid trip to Cabo.
And of course I had a ton of stuff to do but I haven’t really gotten anything done.
I did go to lunch with my Dad though. We went to Firenze, a new restaurant by Fabio {Top Chef season 5}. It was pretty good food, very basic Italian. My dad thought they were playing it a little too safe but that might be smart since so many restaurants are closing. We split the Insalata di Pere with baby lettuces, crumbled blue cheese, caramelized walnuts, pecorino cheese and poached pears in a wine and balsamic dressing. And we also got Ravioli d’Aragosta, ravioli filled with lobster and braised vegetables in a white wine lobster sauce with cherry tomato and shrimp. Pretty tasty! Oh and we got a cannoli which was super traditional but very good! Now I am in the mood to make a special fall dessert for tonight! Stay tuned for pictures..I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty!
