Eating Out

foie-grasWhen we take our annual break we don’t budget.  We figure we work hard all year round (well, Daniel does) and so we deserve to relax in style.  With that mindset, tonight we’re off to L‘Aromate for what we heard is a real fine dining experience.  I checked it out online and it looks amazing.  The food really looks like a work of art and it has a great reputation for having an extremely talented owner-chef.
Daniel is going to try the Pigeon du Lauragais rôti à la sarriette et foie gras de canard grillé.  I know that he loves foie gras and hardly ever gets it so I’m sure he’ll love this dish. I don’t know what I’m going to have for my main but I definitely want to try the chocolat noir guanaja Dans un tube craquant, noisettes caramélisées, crème glacée au café grillé, émulsion vanillée.  Not quite sure what it all means but there’s chocolate, caramelized nuts, cream, coffee and vanilla flavors so really, what could be bad? Sometimes I think it’s good not knowing exactly what you’re getting – it takes the predictability out of life.  Anyway the fact that this restaurant has great reviews and the setting is said to be intimate is enough to make me salivate…
