MORNING SNACK
LUNCH
All of this was on the side of a road in the middle of nowhere. We took the backstreets cycling from Napa and Sanoma and ended up cycling for about 3 hours.
AFTERNOON SNACK
Now you may be wondering why I'm apparently falling off the wagon with caffeine and chocolate again so soon?
Well something amaaaazing happened yesterday ....
I was a disheveled mess. I'd cycled in the sun for 5 hours, drunken wine, been through a sugar crash and back again, but for some reason I had the balls to match into the foyer of The French Laundry with my grease-stained legs and sweaty top. I beautiful man in a pristine suit came to greet me. I asked him, as a long shot, whether there'd been any cancellations for the next 3 days. I also told him I'd been to Per Se last year and it was the highlight of my life.
His ears pricked up, and suddenly he found a space at 9pm the following night. Unbelievable! We had to rush out and buy Dave some $30 black shoes and he'll borrow a suit jacket from the restaurant, but we are golden tonight!
Anyway, the diet is on hold, and the real issue will be staying awake to finish our meal. Especially since we're running on East Coast time, (3 hours behind California). By the time we sit down to eat it'll be midnight in NYC.
Bring on the caffeine and chocolate!
PRE-DINNER SNACK
DINNER
Dave went the Vegetarian Degustation and I chose the Chef's Tasting menu. We shared everything that follows ....
This is the Burnt Lemon Granita.
